Far From 21

A couple weeks ago I was out shopping with Megan and we popped into Forever 21 at Memorial City Mall. I hadn’t been in a Forever 21 in YEARS. Granted, I recently turned 30, and I’m far from 21, BUT whatever, #rulebreaker.

My take-aways from the experience:

  • F21 is MESSY – shit is everywhere, and you really need patience to walk thru and look at each rack (AND we were there on a Saturday afternoon!).
  • The check out line is LONG. VERY long.
  • You can really find some gems if you look hard. However, the piece that I did fall in love with (an amazing draped trench/vest) had a damn pen stain on it.
  • I was definitely older than most girls in the store.
  • Prices were higher than I remembered them being years back.
  • I’m still a fan! They have some very cute things, and I have curated a little lookbook for you below with some favorites, so click on thru and feel free to shop shop shop, no matter your age!

I also stumbled upon this article from Who What Wear this morning (which inspired my post, btw) full of ‘insider tips’ for finding the best stuff at F21. Enjoy!
