Review: Tall Gladiator Heels

12, Nov 2009

Tall Gladiator Heels ($39.80)

Rating: Buy it never
Fit: Forever 21 says these shoes feature “multiple elastic straps that zip all the way up and fit super snug.” The first part is true. They do feature elastic straps, which look like stirrups lining your calves. Not so hot. At first, it was so hard to [...]

Review: Leather Fringe Vest

11, Nov 2009

Leather Fringe Vest ($39.80)
Rating: Wear it forever

Fit: If you’re in the market for a fringe vest then you’re in luck. I’m personally not a suede vest girl but if I was I’d buy this one in a heartbeat. It’s a little pricey for Forever 21 but it looks like it could easily have come [...]

Review: Pleated Satin Mini Skirt

9, Nov 2009

Pleated Satin Mini Skirt ($15.80)

Rating: Buy it never
Fit: The satin is even crinkled in the picture shown on the website. That’s never a good sign. It means the garment is going to look cheap… which this one most certainly does.
Versatility: Don’t even bother. Get the Satin Jacquard Skirt instead for the same price [...]

Review: Satin Jacquard Skirt

7, Nov 2009

Satin Jacquard Skirt ($15.80)
Rating: Wear it forever
Fit: Now whenever I see jacquard I think of Michelle Obama, but that’s certainly not a bad thing. I think the first lady would approve of this skirt which is slimming, thank to vertical pleating, which give just enough volume to hide your flaws, yet still lies flat across [...]

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: Belted Halter Dress

6, Nov 2009

Belted Halter Dress ($44)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: I appreciate Twelve by Twelve’s effort. I really do. From afar, and I’m talking all the way across the store, this dress looks uber chic. Then you get closer and the disappointment kicks in. But still, you want to try it on because a belted, bustier dress like [...]

Review: Blotchy Floral Woven Dress

5, Nov 2009

Blotchy Floral Woven Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Wear it Forever
Fit: Padded busts. A Forever 21 feature Jen and I absolutely despise. But there’s an exception to every rule and this is one of them. The subtle padding combined with the crossover sweetheart neckline actually enhances the bust, rather than making it look like you just got a [...]

Review: Boyfriend Straight Jean

27, Oct 2009

Boyfriend Straight Jean ($29.80)
Fit: Usually we don’t review jeans–there are just too many and they really fit everyone so differently. However, I hold this particular pair of jean largely responsible for all the frump that was going on when I tried on Love 21 Contemporary’s tops. I should have ran out and grabbed another pair [...]

Review: Draped Cardigan

27, Oct 2009

Draped Cardigan ($24.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: This cardigan (this is not a cardigan, btw) has absolutely no fit so really I shouldn’t spend too much time going on about it. But I’m just going to say I’m not the biggest fan, that’s just a taste thing though because really it’s just a piece of fabric [...]

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 [...]
