21 Days of 21

It’s a sickness, really. I HAVE to shop for work. Though I’m not complaining about it, it can be expensive and get a bit out of control.

If you asked my friends where I shop the most, every. single. one. of them would be able to tell you. It’s a bit embarrassing when they know you so well that they can say without one bit of hesitation where you get your fashion fix when you need a quick one. It’s Forever21.

Now, before you assume that Forever21 is just for teenagers with tiny bodies, let me tell you firsthand…it isn’t. I started shopping there in college because of a limited budget, and fell in love with the bright colors, affordable fashion, and constantly updated stores. I’ve continued my love affair there even after being able to afford DVF, Rag & Bone, and such because mixing high and low fashion is so….freeing. You can get more bang for your buck, and still look like a million. You can try new trends without hating yourself in the morning.

After a discussion with a friend who claimed she couldn’t ever figure out how to wear anything from Forever21, I decided to wear it for 21 days straight and show how mixing your own accessories, shoes, and handbags with the great finds at 21 can elevate your look. And did I mention that two of my Mom’s cutest outfits came from Forever21? I sucker her into shopping there with me from time to time, and the clothes fit her perfectly and look amazing. I can get behind any store that keeps people of all generations on trend.

Love it.

So….here is Day #1.
