Day 18/30: Willpower-less
Thursday, June 30, 2011So much for my shopping ban :( I had time to kill one evening so I stopped by Forever 21 and walked out with rings and a necklace. The flowers on the necklace remind me of Chanel's camellias. The daintiness of the rings was a nice contrast to the statement rings I already have. Like always, F21's prices were too good to pass up. I knew I should have watched Green Lantern before shopping, not after!
necklaces: Banana Republic (similar); Forever 21 (currently sold here)
dress as top: Forever 21 (similar - sleeveless)
sash: J.Crew (similar)
rings: Forever 21 (currently sold here)
bag: Chanel
shoes: Ann Taylor (currently sold here)

I recently purchased some items from F21 for my birthday! Agreed, their prices really sucker you in. Chic outfit, Cee, and the rings and necklace are very cute!
ReplyDeleteAhhh so pretty Cee! Lucky for me the only F21 near me I can only go on the weekends so that's enough of a deterrent for me :P
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say no to their accessories since they are pretty cheap. You shouldn't feel guilty (I'm so not helping :)
ReplyDeleteYou look great, very classy!
F21 totally doesn't count as shopping...they're pretty much giving the stuff away, you know :)
ReplyDeleteAnd seriously...that's a freaking magical dress, right there...it works with everything!
I just tell myself that F21 isn't worth the money; the stuff is cheap and it falls apart after a few wears anyway. Not worth it. I walk into expensive stores to burn time- I think twice before spending money so I don't cheat on my ban.
ReplyDeleteI was just there the other night too Cee....I never can seem to walk out of there empty handed! Great pieces by the way ;)
ReplyDeleteYou look so chic Cee! Love the lace top.
ReplyDeleteComplex Cardigans
Very classic and feminine with a hint of vintage. I love Forever21, they look so good and are so cheap. I have to tell myself..enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous outfit! Don't feel bad, you know I broke my ban a long, long time ago, lol! They're worth it :) again, love this outfit. So classic!
ReplyDeletei have no willpower either. i've failed miserably at the shopping ban part!!! sigh.

My number one rule for staying within my shopping ban is to avoid malls :) Black and white is my favorite combo to wear at all times. Very chic! The necklace definitely compliments your outfit. Have a great holiday weekend, Cee!
ReplyDeleteBuying something from F21 doesn't really count as breaking your ban since it is so inexpensive lol...love the lace!
ReplyDeletelove this outfit and the jewelry :)
ReplyDeleteStill so amazed that you can wear a dress as top without the skirt portion bunching up!
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing when I saw F21 break out the enamel flowered jewelry! I actually bought quite a few to dissect and rearrange bc I couldn't find the charms to buy by themselves :)
with those items, you are totes forgiven for the shopping ban. plus kendi said no more rules right???
ReplyDeletelove the tulip skirt and the lace top! you look positively chic!
I adore you! And I LOVE this outfit! So chic and so classy!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear from you. Constructive criticisms welcome!
