So - I got excited and ordered two pieces, thinking I had hit the jackpot with a new found treasure. I ordered a tank dress and an A-line skirt pictured below.
tank dress - $37.00
A-line skirt - $33.00
Oh the endless outfit possibilities that these two items of clothing could create. I was so excited that I had made 2 brilliant choices for my wardrobe. I even greeted our sweet mailman everyday after I got my tracking number in anticipation of their arrival.
Well, they came today and sadly I still have not recovered from the horror that I faced in the mirror after trying these two pieces on. My new found treasure was just an empty chest filled with two pieces of clothing for a skinny "forever 21" girl with no hips and no butt (and possibly flatter abs).
I have been sucker punched into reality that I am in my mid-thirites and need to go with my gut (no pun intended). When shopping these younger stores, stay with tops and maybe even go up a size. There are some VERY cute pieces that I think would and could work for us normal sized gals. I've posted a few of them for you to see.
Navy Belted Trench Coat - $47
A must have for your wardrobe
Stripe s/less tee with ruffle details - $42
Cute layered with almost any color of cardigan
Tie-neck blouse - $33
Great layered under jackets and sweaters or wear alone with skinnier jeans (notice I did not say skinny)
Feminine Tweed "Chanel" inspired jacket - $84
Great worn with jeans or a pencil skirt
Floral scarf $14
You can't go wrong with an accessory no matter how many cookies you ate today.
So today I remain Forever 36 because I'm not counting anymore birthdays and will enjoy all of life's little pleasures except when it comes to little clothes!
