Review: Belted Pencil Skirt

30, Sep 2009

Belted Pencil Skirt ($15.80)
Rating: Buy It Never

Fit: I wasn’t there when Sydne tried on the Simple Knit Skirt, which is a similar black pencil skirt, but I’m going to have to recommend buying that over this rayon version. Knit is typically more forgiving (unlike this version) plus it’s not going to pucker at seams like [...]

Review: Atomic Faux Leather Skirt

28, Sep 2009

Atomic Faux Leather Skirt ($19.80)
Rating: Buy it Never
Fit: I’m always a fan of pockets and I usually like pleats. But not when they make the skirt poof out. From the side, it looked like I had a penis.
Versatility: Tranny Halloween costume?
Trend Factor: Leather skirts are an easy way to do the rocker look for fall. [...]

Review: Ruffle Sleeve Dress

28, Sep 2009

Ruffle Sleeve Dress ($39.00)
Rating: Buy It Never

Fit: I wasn’t planning to try this on. I’ve already tried on enough F21 dresses with this sheath shape and been burned before. But Sydne suggested I try it on anyway for the upcoming (ahhhhh!) holiday season. (Btw, I’ll stop with the ahhhh! holiday season thing probably around mid-October [...]

Review: Melodie Knit Jacket

25, Sep 2009

Melodie Knit Jacket ($32.80)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: It’s officially Fall! I think it might be my favorite season. It’s still in the 90’s here in LA so I’m not exactly feeling the fall yet, but stores are already rolling out their outerwear, natch. Like this knit coat that looks pretty harmless but, trust me, [...]

Review: Architectural Zip Top

17, Sep 2009

Architectural Zip Top ($29)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: I was initially drawn to the color. Very Michelle Obama lemongrass. But zippers are supposed to be edgy and structured. Unfortunately, the hardware design up top loses its cool factor when the loops flop over as you walk.
Versatility: If you’re a DIY-er, you could probably get the zippers [...]

Review: Zipper Back Knit Skirt

15, Sep 2009

Zipper Back Knit Skirt ($7.50)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: I picked up this skirt after seeing the simple knit skirt. I though for sure I’d like it better since an exposed zipper makes everything look cooler. From the front, everything was fine. Then I turned around and it looked like I was one of those cats [...]

Review: Leopard Coolie Coat

12, Sep 2009

Leopard Coolie Coat ($34.80)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: I adore faux fur animal print jackets. They’re so very Carrie Bradshaw-cool. The only problem is it’s hit or miss when it comes to quality. While the boxy fit of this coat is perfect to wear over a LBD, the synthetic material is too shiny to look chic.
Versatility: [...]

Review: Neo Romantic Sweater Dress

11, Sep 2009

Neo Romantic Sweater Dress ($34.00)
Rating: Buy It Never. Ever. Ever.

Fit: I tried this on mostly out of curiosity. In store, this sweater dress is a hot mess that only gets worse once you try it on. There’s the lace overlay up top that is itchy, the mess psychedelic print and that bow belt is a [...]

Review: Bubble Hem Satin Skirt

11, Sep 2009

Bubble Hem Satin Skirt ($19.80)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: I think this photo of me in the skirt says it all. I’m all for volume, but seriously, wtf?
Versatility: Throw on some bunny ears and you can look just like a Louis Vuitton model.
Trend Factor: Volume is all the rage but extravagance only works for the runway [...]

Review: Abstract Print Satin Top

11, Sep 2009

Abstract Print Satin Top ($17.80)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: I love, love, love this print. It’s a pity then that the bosom of this top has to have that awful foam padding that is a instant ghettoizer. One day, when Forever 21 contacts us and yells at us for copyright infringement or whatever, I’m just [...]
