Summer Skirts: Hiking to Cocktails
Is it just me, or have skirts recently fallen out of favor with people older than seven? Skirts were such a staple item for me about ten years ago, and then for no reason at all, I just stopped wearing…
What’s New, F21?
Time to check in with Forever 21 to see what’s new, and if anything passes. Look at that! Maybe they saw my mention of wide, Obi-style belts and brought this one into the store. That embroidery is quite elaborate and…
Summer Blazers: Is Inexpensive Worth It?
I took a risk and bought a cotton seersucker blazer at Forever 21 this spring. I scored. It’s cotton, fully tailored and lined, and will hang in my closet for a long time. But alas, fast fashion is just that-fast-…
