I like the 2nd one. Very nice.

[anthropologie]

Thanks! You know, a few years back the quality at Forever21 has been not so good. While it's still not the best, they have defiantly made some changes in that area.

Anyone else, feel free to share your F21 buys here!

I keep hearing about this Forever 21 place, what is its UK equivalent? What's the pricing?

Second dress is lovely, although I think I'll be inclined to tie a black satin ribbon around my waist. I think that's because I'm quite petite and need to emphasize more shape!

[anthropologie]

From what I hear, and I'm not entirely sure, it sounds a bit similar to topshop...which I am so anxious to check out! The pricing is pretty low, to me. I think most people would agree with that.
Have a look at the website, I'd like to hear what others say the equivalent is.

It's funny that you say that, because I am quite petite as well....so I'm always emphasizing my waist with a belt or something.

[nuvonova]

Oh I'm glad you know what I mean then! .. I was wondering if people would think 'urgh, a ribbon would completely spoil it!'.


OK, I've checked out the website, I'm quite impressed! .. The pricing is actually about 50-80% cheaper than Topshop!...I can't expect the quality being much different either.

.. and it's free shipping for orders over $75.. which is the price an 'OK' dress would be from Topshop.

I may have to order a few things from this Forever21 place!

I'd say its a 'trendier' version of Primark.

[anthropologie]

Do you guys get Urban Outfitters?

[nuvonova]

Yep, really nice stuff, but the price is not worth it. I think this is because I did a fashion degree and understand perfectly how things are made and can total it up in my head to see if this simple pleated dress from UO is worth it, and it never is!
I prefer looking at all the other stuff they have apart from the clothing actually.

[attentionWHORE]

:o
Forever21 is cheap as !!!!!
i was expecting low prices but not that low !!


@anthropologie: Urban Outfitters is okay i guess. kind of like Country Road.

[FashionPassion]

UO is like 50 times more expensive then 21 and the quality isn't too much better, except on higher end brands like Free People. I hate the staff at most of their stores. People at 21 and Planet Funk are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay nicer. UO staffers are snobby. I don't pay more to be treated badly.

[anthropologie]

You're right about the quality at UO. It's really bad most of the time! And the people who work there get 40% off! Wow...just shows how much they mark up the things. I like Kimchi & Blue and Free People, which they sell there. I mainly purchase things online that are on sale from there.
I really don't feel good about myself if I'm paying good money for something that is not up to par in quality.
But I was just wondering if UK had that store. I don't see why they wouldn't. Sort of a dumb question, sorry.

[attentionWHORE]

we have Free People here.
and its not expensive like you say it is. hah. and its not because i'm richer than you or something....we also have Fossil, which actually costs wayy more than Free People.

[anthropologie]

Okay, well no need to be rude. Everyone has their own different type of budget.
Not everyone gets everything paid for by their parents.

[attentionWHORE]

-.-
im 14, what do you expect ?
im not even old enough to work.

no but seriously, Free People has ugly clothes anyway...the second i walk in my mom's like [yes, i shop with my mom sometimes] 'lets go out. coming in here wastes our time.' and i have to agree.

but i still don't think $15 is too much for a top.

and i didn't have the intention of being rude. sorry ?

[artnzee]

The quality is medium at best, but the prices are unbelievable! I wash everything on delicate, and never tumble dry it. You can extend the life of the clothing this way. There are certain pieces that you buy for a few wearings ... these are them, and if you get lucky, they might look good a bit longer...

[kytheria]

Forever 21 prices are fairly good *not cheap*, sometimes the quality of some pieces are not so good..i would prefer buying from TopShop and New Look, the quality is much better..

[HeArTsDeZzIrE]

i have that 2nd dress too. i love it.
the dress looks nice in the picture and it looks even hotter when worn :p i bought another dress that's baige and brown satin but i couldnt find it online. I am loving forever 21's collection lately. they're brining in a lot of cute dresses.

[lynlyn1982]

I like the 1st one.
who much you brought?
