Review: Pleated Silky Dress

27, Sep 2009

Pleated Silky Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: You can see Sydne sneaking into my dressing room behind me and the first thing she said was, “Whoa boobies!” And seriously, whoa boobies in this dress. I tried it on because anything pleaty immediately request a trip to the dressing room and I’m happy to report these [...]

Review: Satin Woven Tunic

27, Sep 2009

Satin Woven Tunic ($22.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: I don’t know if buttoned-down shirts really require much reviewing. Like, we’re all pretty aware of how they fit, right? It’s really not that hard to mess them up. Like this one, it’s fine. It’s blousey and a nice, rich color. It has this weird tie that–if you’re [...]

Review: Leopard Combo Dress

18, Sep 2009

Leopard Combo Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Trendy for Now
Fit: I hated this dress at first. The bottom half looked fab, especially if I had Spanx underneath, but the patterned top cut off my neck, making me look like I was wearing a dress four sizes too small. We then tried pulling the neckline down on each side, [...]

Review: Tie Back Sweater

18, Sep 2009

Tie Back Sweater ($19.00)
Rating: Wear It Forever
Fit: The ribbing on the sweater is extremely slimming, as it draws attention to your chest while creating a narrower midsection (though busty women, you might want to steer clear). The pearl beaded posies look just as nice as any 50+ J. Crew embellishments and the lavender, taupe and [...]

Review: Blurred Floral Bustier Top

16, Sep 2009

Blurred Floral Bustier Top ($17.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: Finally! A corset style top at Forever 21 without that tacky elastic back. Granted, the quality wasn’t perfect. I could already see the sticking unraveling at the bust. But the print is pretty and a zipper is better than elastic any day unless you’re preggers.
Versatility: Wear it [...]

Review: Silk Pleated Tunic

15, Sep 2009

Silk Pleated Tunic ($34.00)
Rating: Buy It Maybe

Fit: Well isn’t this a nice little nightgown. Seems like the perfect sort of thing a 1960’s sex kitten could wear to bed (unbelted natch and yes, I do watch too much Mad Men). Oh, just one problem. This is not a nightgown. Rather this falls into that difficult [...]

Review: Retro Colorblock Dress

10, Sep 2009

Retro Colorblock Dress ($27.80)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: Sydne made me try this on. Typically I try to avoid anything super body hugging for good reason—I don’t own a pair of Spanx and this is what happens. Now I wouldn’t totally write off a dress for that reason, I know there are people out there that [...]

Review: Sunshine Chiffon Dress

9, Sep 2009

Sunshine Chiffon Dress ($27.80)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: Once again I’m lured into trying something on because of a vintage-y print and classic shape. One day I will learn to skip it, but for now I still get my hopes up every time that I have finally uncovered my perfect F21 dress. Oops, didn’t mean to [...]

Review: Belted Surplice Dress

9, Sep 2009

Belted Surplice Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: Jen hated the print of the dress. While I agree the Safari Short dress is ten times classier, something about this bold pattern brought back fond memories of watching the Flinstones as a kid. Plus, you don’t need curves to fill out the shape. If you have a [...]

Review: Chiffon Plaid Dress

8, Sep 2009

Chiffon Plaid Dress ($29.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: Ok so they have this dress all over F21 in various prints and every time I see it, I get a little sad that it just doesn’t work on me. It looks great on Sydne, but on me the ruffles are just too much. Between my shoulders and [...]
