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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Color Blocked Leggings

1, Oct 2009

Color Blocked Leggings ($22.00)
Rating: Wear it Forever
Fit: Most. Comfy. Things. Ever. Seriously, I did not want to take these off. If I hadn’t promised myself I wouldn’t buy anything that shopping trip they would be on my legs right now. Granted, the light color made my butt look two sizes larger than it is but [...]

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 [...]
