DISCLAIMER: Okay I’ll admit – a lot of my shopping is quantity-based over quality. I’d rather have 100 pairs of cheap shoes, than 10 nice ones. I change my mind a lot so it makes sense for me, so take my fashion advice with a grain of salt.

I was in Forever 21, or as I like to refer to it, Forever 29, the other day – shhh don’t tell my husband. Anyway, as I was saying, I was in Forever 29 the other day elbowing the usual brace-faced teens to get to the last size x-small faux fur bedazzled halter top, when I noticed that they were selling skinny glitter belts for $2.50. That’s right. $2.50! Now sure they’re not going to be as nice as JCrew’s that are going for $24.50, but at $2.50 a pop, I can buy every glitter color in the rainbow. I controlled myself though and bought a black sparkly and a gold sparkly one. If you think about it, at that price, you could buy 2 or 3 of the same color and wear them at the same time and look totally high-fash. But don’t take my word for it, I am the one still shopping at Forever21.

Why are all the cheap heels ridiculously high? Every time I get excited when I see a cute shoe that’s like $20 I think “Sweet! What a deal!” But then it’s always too good to be true because I read the description that says the shoe is 5 inches tall with a 1/2 inch platform. I feel like it’s me and prostitutes that are the only ones shopping for cute cheapy heels. Surely it’s not that hard to make an affordable 3 inch heel! What is the deal shoe makers!? Mama needs a new pair of cheap shoes she can walk in.

$32.00
5 inches

$22.10
4.25 inches

$26.80
1.5″ platform height; 6″ heel height!!!

I was doing a some jewelry browsing online and found that a lot of super expensive stuff can be replicated at a super cheap price. I put together a few groups of jewelry. Some are from Net-a-Porter and average $400 and others are from Forever21 and average $10. See if you can guess which is which. Answers below.

I haven’t tried it on, but this dress has some potential. It’s funky enough to look like it’s expensive, but it’s only $32.80 from Forever21.

And this one is only $19!  It’s a great beach night out dress I think.

Today as I walking home empty handed after an afternoon of window-shopping, a homeless man asked me for money. As usual didn’t have any cash so I walked on, but I was thinking to myself. “Do I look like I have money?” I looked down at my clothes and realized that my entire outfit cost less than a shirt at Anthropologie. I forgot to take a photo of it, but I tried to recreate what I was wearing below. None of the items are my exact ones because I couldn’t find them, but they’re def close. I got my scarf from a consignment shop, my grey jeans were from a friend who no longer wanted them, my shirt was a cheapy from Forever21 and my sandals were also cheapies from F21. All in – a whopping $30.50! Not bad if I do say so myself.

So this is nothing really new in fashion. High-waisted skirts have been a trend for while now, but they are new to me and my closet. I’ve started paying more attention to them and am contemplating buying one or four. It’s hard for me because I don’t remember the last time I tucked anything in. I HATE tucking in shirts. It reminds me of when I was younger and in order to get your blouse to stay tucked, you’d have to tuck it into your underwear. Ugh and remember bodysuits?? I’ve seen a few of those trying to make a comeback. Never again. Anyway! I think I may take the plunge back into the world of the tuck. (Why does that sound so dirty?) Check out some of the skirts I’ve been pining over. A few of many.


All of these skirts are either from Modcloth or Anthropologie, with the exception of the skirt with legs. That one’s from Forever21.

Pros: Cute $9.00 skinny jeans from Forever21

Cons: Excessive blue dye in my bathtub

I hand washed (for the second time!) my jeans in the blue lagoon that is now my tub. I was getting tired of my hands turning blue when I rubbed them on my jeans. This is how much blue dye came out of them. And I’m pretty sure there is more in there to come out. I guess you pay for what you get :/

I bought these  jeans from Forever21 a couple months ago. They’re really cute and fit well. But the damn zipper will not stay up for the life of me. Every time I sit or even walk too much it starts to come down. Why is that!? They’re not tight. It’s so annoying. I’m going to have to get it replaced I guess.

You know I always wondered why they had so many pairs left when they were only $9. Ah, right that’s why. Grrr!

I was perusing Forever21.com again and was looking under the “tops” category. Evidently these items qualify as “tops.” Good luck explaining that to HR.

So since today’s the New Moon premiere and we’re all anxiously awaiting to see what Kristen’s going to wear, I thought I’d do a hypothetical post on “What if KStew lost all her money and had to shop at Forever21 for her premiere outfit.”

We all know her style consists of anything black, preferably studded or donning some piece of weaponry (see bullet skirt). She seems to prefer interesting textures, unexpected details (see panty window) and architectural shapes. She has strayed from this some with cream colored feminine dresses and that Lady GaGa regurgitation colorful number she wore in London. And frankly her shoes are always rockin’ and unique and sky-high (when she’s not wearing Chucks).

So what if she just HAD to shop at Forever21. What are some of the pieces she’d pick out for the premiere? Here are some of my hypotheses:

The slightly edgy but still girly outfits

kstew1The colorful London dresses

kstew2The asymmetrical and architectural dresses with funky shoes

kstew3

The “edgy rocker” separates.

The “I heart French boys in reality would say “I heart British boys” of course. What do you guys think of my choices? Am I nuts? Am I close? It’d be pretty funny if she wore something like one of these tonight. I’m sure it’ll be cool and leg-baring no matter what it is though!
