Day 18/30: Willpower-less

Thursday, June 30, 2011

So 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)
skirt: Gap (similar)
bag: Chanel

  1. 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!

  2. Ahhh 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

  3. It's hard to say no to their accessories since they are pretty cheap. You shouldn't feel guilty (I'm so not helping :)

    You look great, very classy!

  4. F21 totally doesn't count as shopping...they're pretty much giving the stuff away, you know :)

    And seriously...that's a freaking magical dress, right there...it works with everything!

  5. 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.

  11. 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!

  14. Still so amazed that you can wear a dress as top without the skirt portion bunching up!

    I 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 :)
