Review: Origami Couture Skirt

6, Nov 2009

Origami Couture Skirt ($26.00)
Rating: Trendy for now… and spring… and maybe next fall but certainly not a classic
Fit: If you’re worried about adding more volume to your bottom half then don’t even bother with this one. But if you have some wiggle room, then this is definitely a more interesting option than the usual full [...]

Review: Open Front Tweed Jacket

26, Oct 2009

Open Front Tweed Jacket ($24.80)
Rating: Wear It Forever
Fit: Sydne and I finally made it to a store with the Love 21 Contemporary line and while I was excited to try on some clothes that were not made for 15-year-olds or club skanks (or 15-year-old club skanks? I’m pretty sure those exist in some places), I [...]

Review: Scalloped Fringe Dress

20, Oct 2009

Scalloped Fringe Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Trendy for Now
Fit: It’s a shapeless shift, but it works. The hem is short enough to show off your legs and it’s not like those flappers in the ‘20s had defined waists anyway.
Versatility: You can wear a fringe dress more than you’d think. The most obvious is at night with [...]

Review: Side Sequin Trim Top

11, Oct 2009

Side Sequin Trim Top ($24.80)
Rating: Wear it forever (or at least till the beads fall off)
Fit: Amidst sequin overload, I discovered this beaded top that looked like it could easily have come from J. Crew, where embellished tees can cost you over $100. Unlike some of the tops I’ve tried at Michelle Obama’s favorite store, [...]

Review: Bellhop Knit Blazer

29, Sep 2009

Bellhop Knit Blazer ($22.80)
Rating: Trendy For Now
Fit: I had no idea this was called a Bellhop Blazer. That kind of makes me irrationally hate it which is unfortunate considering how cute it is. It’s trendy, it’s cheap and it nips right at waist to make it superflattering. Given the difficult time I have finding stuff [...]

Review: Military Tipped Sweater

28, Sep 2009

Military Tipped Sweater ($32.00)
Rating: Trendy For Now
Fit: These military inspired cardigans were looking so supercute on the mannequins in the Twelve by Twelve section they were almost sold out. Just one large in gray was left. I was like, “Of course I’ll try a large on” because I thought it was a no-brainer I would [...]

Review: Ankle Tab Jumpsuit

20, Sep 2009

Ankle Tab Jumpsuit ($27.80)

Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: I’m a jumpsuit girl. So as long as it doesn’t have a tapered leg, I’m trying it on. This particular one was incredibly unflattering. But it was quite possibly the most comfortable thing I’ve ever slipped into in a Forever 21 dressing room.
Versatility: If you have $30 to [...]

Review: Simple Knit Skirt

13, Sep 2009

Simple Knit Skirt ($7.80)
Rating: Wear it Forever
Fit: With control-top tights or a pair of Spanx underneath, this skirt fits like a flattering glove. If you have thinner legs, you might want to try the shorter version (I couldn’t find it online but I bought it at my local store). If your body is pretty proportional, [...]

Review: Zip Front Leopard Skirt

11, Sep 2009

Zip Front Leopard Skirt ($29.00)
Rating: Trendy For Now
Fit: I surprisingly loved this skirt. It doesn’t seem too much like my sort of thing, but I kinda wanted to buy it after trying it on–the colors and leopard print (something I usually HATE) are just so captivating. The only weird thing about it is F21’s insistence [...]

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 [...]
