love 21

I decided to put my differences with Forever 21 aside when they came out with their new "contemporary" (whatever that means) Love 21 line. Apparently they were going for a more grown up approach with this line, and as it turned out there were quite a few things that appealed to this 30-year-old. This was my favorite of the two dresses I got:

dress: Love 21, shoes: Dr. Scholl, bag: Handmaid by Michelle Franz, belt: vintage, earrings: Haute Hardware

I think this dress looks like a million bucks when in fact it was only $22. It's also much better in person than I thought it would be. I did have to replace the belt that came with it with my own, but I almost always do that when there's a self-belt involved (Gail, can I get a witness?).

I'll post the other dress as well as the maxi I got (from the regular F21 line) when I wear them. I also got a grey tank to bump me up to free shipping status, but it's not terribly exciting. What is exciting, or rather amazing, is that 4 out of 4 items from my order were winners. That almost never happens...I may have to reevaluate my relationship with that store.
