I've been trying to buy less but buy better, but sometimes I crack! I'm trying to save up for more quality pieces so I have been avoiding stores like Forever21 and H&M. I haven't been on Forever21's website in ages, but when I went on it the other day I couldn't resist making a purchase. The package came today so I thought I'd review the things I got for you.
I've been wanting a scalloped lace skirt since last fall, and I almost bought one from Forever21 then but they were out of my size. When I saw a similar skirt came back, I had to buy it. I knew I would regret not buying it. Outside of school, I also work part-time as an assistant in an office, so skirts are always great to have.
The other things I got were just things I liked. Forever21 has a minimum requirement of $60 for free shipping so the other items were more of 'fillers' for the free shipping, although I do like what I got. Whenever I buy from them, I take quite a bit of time to get just the right combination of items to get as little over $60 as possible haha.
Scalloped Crochet Lace Skirt
CAD $29.80
The skirt is very pretty in person. It's Love21 so be careful with sizing, it runs larger than regular F21 (they say half a size, I think it's more of a full size). The colour is kind of disappointing. It's more ivory in the picture (which is what I wanted). In real life, the slip inside is a dark nude so it makes the whole appearance of the skirt darker. But overall I'm pleased with it.
Pintucked Peter Pan Collar Top
CAD $21.80
I decided to finally buy something with a peter pan collar. This blouse looked very pretty and I love the colours. It's cute in person, but beware it's very loose at the bottom. It's fine tucked into something, but I wish it wasn't as loose. Wasn't too pleased about this shirt.
Zipper Pocket Tee
Was:CAD $17.90
Now:CAD $7.99
Now:CAD $7.99
I was browsing the mens' section and I saw this t-shirt on sale. It has very thin stripes and a zipper pocket! I love the small zipper detail. I bought it for my boyfriend to get him to try something different but not too flashy.
Heart Compact Mirror
CAD $1.00
Last and least, I got this compact mirror. Because I was less than a dollar away from free shipping, and because I don't own a compact mirror.
