I have the Valentino version of those perforated suede peep toe booties and it’s kind of shocking how similar they are…

@Lily - You know you can’t wear heels anymore.

Man, I never find anything that cute at my local forever 21. And its too embarrassing seeing all the 14 year olds sifting through the same rack of crap as I am. SO THANK YOU!

Please tell me who is supposed to fit in the clothes at Forever 21! I am a size 2/4 depending on the brand, and at places like Old Navy, I wear a medium size top, even with my 34DD bra size.  I cannot fit into a damn thing at forever 21, except oversized jackets and sweaters and the such. Their pants don’t fit, their tops are all WAY too tight, and I’ve just about given up! I think this stuff you’ve found is super adorable, but, please, who can wear it? Besides adolescent girls with no hips, girls who should be shopping at Kohl’s, not showing off too much in these styles that are too old for them!

If you get anything from Forever 21, go at least one size up—dresses and skirts, even if they fit, are short!

I am so glad you said that! I love their clothes (some stuff), but it hurts my brain to even walk into a store! Their site is kind of awesome.

I actually really like that clothespin sweater.

@marykerry - Hmm, I’m a 6/8 30H and I have several tops from F21. Sometimes things don’t fit, usually I get an L, but one top I bought recently was a M. And I promise I’m not wearing them super tight or anything!

I will say their jeans selection is a bummer - I take their largest size (I think i’s a 28?) but even then they’re a bit tight and sometimes don’t fit.

Thank you Annika!  I am dying for that owl ring… I am so broke right now and can’t afford to go shopping for real, but a little happy owl bobble would make my world go round

Okay well I’m definitely confused by the people who can’t find anything at forever 21. I’m a size 10/12 and have a mess of clothes from there.

That crochet trim sweater is just gorgeous!  But I have no need for it.  Bummer.

F21 is one of the few places I can find clothes that fit, F21 and H&M otherwise I’m condemned to the junior section.  Really sucks when you’re 26 years old and looking for work clothes, whiskered jeans and “Princess” tops just don’t cut it.

That owl face ring sold out in a hurry! Shoot.
