Review: Wool Blend Overcoat

8, Nov 2009

Wool Blend Overcoat ($39.80)
Rating: Wear It Forever
Fit: It was love at first sight when I saw this coat pop up on F21’s website. 60’s Jackie O vibe always instant love in my book. But you never know if an Internet relationship is going to work out until you meet in real life (make sure it’s [...]

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: 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: Slinky Knit Dress

22, Oct 2009

Slinky Knit Dress ($22.80)
Rating: Wear it forever
Fit: If I didn’t know better, I would think Diane von Furstenberg was designing a affordable line for Forever 21. This dress fits just as well as printed DVF pieces in my closet. The piping at the empire waist draws attention up towards a flattering neckline and the subtle [...]

Review: Velvet Sheath Dress

21, Oct 2009

Velvet Sheath Dress ($29.80)
Rating: Wear it Forever
Fit: I had very low expectations when I saw this dress on the hanger. But after trying it on, it took an immense amount of will power not to buy it. And the only reason I didn’t buy it is because I already have a velvet LBD and I’m [...]

Review: Jacquard Evening Dress

7, Oct 2009

Jacquard Evening Dress ($24.80)
Rating: Wear it forever
Fit: Finally! A dress that hits the waist just right . This dress wasn’t extraordinary but for 25 bucks it’s pretty perfect. The banded collar elongates the neck, the pleated skirt is roomy enough that you don’t have to worry about wearing Spanx, the exposed zipper in the back adds [...]

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: 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 [...]
