Fashion is what you're offered four times a year. Style is what you pick out of that fashion...it's what you make of it once you've learned what you accept and ignored based on what best suits you.
-Lauren Hutton
This quote sums up my sartorial resolution for 2011...buy what suits ME, and only what I absolutely love. No more it looks okay but I really love the color kind of pieces. Only ones I wish I could wear everyday without public mocking. I also need to focus on getting some key classic pieces...a killer button up white shirt, for one.
For Christmas I got a wonderful Forever 21 gift card (THANK YOU MOM&TRINA!) and I think we'll be hitting it up saturday. Since that store is a fashion jungle, I'm trying to think of pieces that I actually want to keep the focus. Some of those shirts really could come to life...hopefully they have safari wear. Besides that, my sweet Husband will be with me and I think two hours in one store might make him crazy. I'm pretty sure it'll make me crazy too.
1. twill leggings 2. contrast cardigan 3. jewel earrings 4. suedette heels 5. ankle jeans 6. striped top 7. layered necklace
2, 4, & 7 seem to fit you very well. I think they would get some good use for sure. Pants are definitely not my specialty so your on your own there. Have fun spending your gift card!
ReplyDeleteI love the earrings! They will look really beautiful once they're on!
ReplyDeleteHehe! I totally do this! LOVE the necklace! Yeah, so I can get "lost" in that store for somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 hours at a time. No kidding. LOVE F21, in fact, I don't think I could come up with an outfit that doesn't have at least 1 piece from there. However, it is like a fun house to men (you know, the things at the fair with mirrors?) Poor boyfriend went in ALONE to get something for me for Christmas. I told him just to shop online. But he gets brownie points for daring to enter.
ReplyDeleteI AGREE. i think this year, i shall stand by this as well. i need so much more basics and just really good stuff instead of, it's okay stuff it'll do.
ReplyDeleteawesome post. good luck to us this year!
I love that you just want to buy what suits you. I am really trying to focus on that this year too! I tend to overbuy so many things just because everyone else is... I think you have 7 amazing picks!! Have fun shopping!
