I meant at Forever 21!
Finally our mom had the time to have a girls' day out with us! Our mom is a self-confessed shopaholic (much to our advantage! :D) so she likes bonding with us over shopping.
We've been telling her all about Forever 21 and their collection of beautifully designed clothes that are ALL affordable ever since we paid a visit to the store. I'm so happy that the past Tuesday, she invited us to check it out with her.
As I've mentioned in my previous posts, I'm on a phase of altering my style, clearing out my closet of stuff I haven't used for over a year (check out mi yard sale), and I'm currently buying clothes that will truly be an essential to my style metamorphosis. I just really want pieces that I can mix and match with my other clothes that will come out as stylish, yet effortless.
Forever 21's Heritage collection almost has every piece that I want to add to my wardrobe! After experimenting with the denim jacket from Gap with my other clothes, I realized that wearing a denim vest is a great way to hippie-fy and add boldness to an ensemble too. And then I found this:
and I instantly fell in love! In my head, I already pictured it with my other clothes (and it looked goooooood B)). I wore it and showed it to my mom (she has to be pleased on how an item looks on us first before she buys it for us) and she liked it too! Hooray! The gray hood gave the vest more character (which I love) and it's detachable so I can wear the vest just as it is.
Also, I have a thing for clothes that look laid back and casual (and also vintage looking clothes), that's why I liked this tank top:
It looks hippie-esque to me that's why I bought it (or had my mom buy it for me rather :D).That night, we went to Hard Rock Cafe to watch The '70s Super Band gig (which was really fun!!! Danah will blog about it) and here's how my Outfit of the Day (or night) #5 turned out:
Tank&Vest: Forever21 | Jeans: Dorothy Perkins | Shoes: Parisan Plus (SM Dept. Store)
Eyeglasses: My mom's dresser | Bangles: Robinson's Galleria Dept. Store
I think the outfit does look a bit '70s vintage... What do you think? :)
Anyway, for those of you who haven't visited Forever 21 yet, I just have a few things to say about their items. When it comes to size, the clothes in F21 are inconsistent. Some medium clothes fit me while some large ones were a bit small for me. I guess you just really have to go through the racks and try on the clothes to really know for sure if it will fit you well.
Some clothes and accessories were a bit shoddy too. Some had defects and some had frayed parts. My advice is for you to really check every part and corner of the item you want to buy before paying for it. I think it's because most (if not all) of their items are displayed for customers already so you can't just ask for a new stock. I think being meticulous isn't such a bad thing when it comes to buying new clothes (or any new item for that matter!).
