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: Dimensional Belted Skirt

14, Oct 2009

Dimensional Belted Skirt ($28.00)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: Never mind that the skirt was overly poofy and the belt reminded me of Avril Lavigne, who certainly isn’t my fashion icon. But my biggest issue with this skirt is why on earth would anyone want a horizontal stripe running across their butt? It’s as if [...]

Review: Velvet Roses Skirt

13, Oct 2009

Velvet Roses Skirt ($19.80)
Rating: Buy it maybe
Fit: The majority of Forever 21’s full high-waisted skirts fit well. They nip the waist and hide any flaws you might have below the belt. Fit wise, this one was just as cute as my floral and tribal skirts that I absolutely love. Even the velvet wasn’t so bad. [...]

Review: Side Swept Pleat Skirt

13, Oct 2009

Side Swept Pleat Skirt ($17.80)
Rating: Buy it never
Fit: The word disappointed doesn’t even cut it. Jen and I have been trying to go to Pasadena so we can review Forever 21’s contemporary line, Love 21 for months now. Tired of waiting I ordered this skirt when I bought my two new pairs of booties online [...]

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: Faux Leather Skort

28, Sep 2009

Faux Leather Skort ($17.80)
Rating: Trendy for Now
Fit: I cracked up when I tried this on. I don’t think I’ve seen a skort since the early ’90s! But the skirt is so short that I was thrilled there were itty-bitty shorts underneath. On the hangers this was my least fave, but it fit the best because [...]

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. [...]
