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: Ruffle Front Shirt Dress

14, Oct 2009

Ruffle Front Shirt Dress ($39.00)
Rating: Buy It Never
Fit: This dress looks so nice and reserved on that lifeless mannequin but on an actual person such as myself, it looks more like a hot mess. At first I tired to tell myself, it must just be the awful placement of that security magnet thing (why [...]

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: Safety Pin Sweater Top

1, Oct 2009

Safety Pin Sweater Top ($22.80)
Rating: Buy it Maybe
Fit: One of my favorite things to wear for fall is a big comfy sweater over leggings. Now that I broke up my boyfriend I no longer can’t steal his. So I thought  this sweater would be a fun alternative. I was wrong. Even in two sizes bigger [...]

Review: Mesh And Stone Trim Tee

29, Sep 2009

Mesh And Stone Trim Tee ($32.00)
Rating: Buy It Maybe

Fit: This is one of those long, tight rayon shirts that hugs every sort of fat roll you may have no matter how small. Things like this are really just made for the mannequins. I mean, look how that shirt looks on that plastic, flawless body. [...]

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: Belted Sweater Dress

28, Sep 2009

Belted Sweater Dress ($34.00)
Rating: Trendy For Now

Fit: Remember in my Satin Woven Tunic review, I mentioned this is a store for teenagers (duh)? Well, this sweater dress is another example of this. No one over the age of 18 should really wear a dress that’s banded at the bottom like so. It’s just going [...]

Review: Satin Woven Tunic

27, Sep 2009

Satin Woven Tunic ($22.80)
Rating: Buy It Maybe
Fit: I don’t know if buttoned-down shirts really require much reviewing. Like, we’re all pretty aware of how they fit, right? It’s really not that hard to mess them up. Like this one, it’s fine. It’s blousey and a nice, rich color. It has this weird tie that–if you’re [...]

Review: Silk Pleated Tunic

15, Sep 2009

Silk Pleated Tunic ($34.00)
Rating: Buy It Maybe

Fit: Well isn’t this a nice little nightgown. Seems like the perfect sort of thing a 1960’s sex kitten could wear to bed (unbelted natch and yes, I do watch too much Mad Men). Oh, just one problem. This is not a nightgown. Rather this falls into that difficult [...]

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 [...]
