This burgundy Bebe pencil skirt was a gift from Karri (dear friend and reader). It is one of my favorite skirts and fits me perfectly (size is 00).
I stopped at the mall yesterday armed with my Banana Republic coupon for 50% off up to 5 items in-store only. I was determined to use part of it and have been eyeing a few things online. Unfortunately, this code only applies in-store and you only get 30% online and 30% in the factory stores. The code is a one time use only otherwise I would share mine. I bought the julie belted sheath , ivana metallic pumps in oxblood , print silk tie blouse in cocoon, , horsebit bracelet and chain link scarf (both recommended by WhatJessWore). I’m not in love with any of these items after bringing them home so the only one I will probably keep is the belted sheath. That’s the problem with coupons and sales…it’s hard to say no. I felt so pressured to pick out 5 items (while in a rush).
1. Twisted surplice dress – size small
2. Open cutaway blazer – similar to H&M ruched sleeve blazer in red and yellow
3. Pleated navy polka dot skirt – size XS
Minutes after placing my order, I could have just kicked myself. I wanted this sleeveless polka dot shirt but had to place a second order for free shipping (hate when that happens)
1. Eyelash lace top – have in blush pink
2. Sleeveless polka dot shirt – size small
3. Contrast trim shirt with neckerchief
Top: Colorblock ring set – size 6
Middle: Rhinestone ribbon ring – size 6
Bottom: Knotted silver ring – size 6
If you are looking for some fun and cheap rings, these are super cute. Hope you have a great weekend!
wow i’m surprised you fit into that purple sheath from BR. it was huge on me.
without the belt- it’s wide but if I pull the belt tight, it fits decent. I am also much wider than you 🙂

I have the same dotted H&M blouse! I love how you pair it with the burgundy skirt. 🙂 Very nice! Love your other picks as well.

I read recently online that F21 now consider all items with a discount (ie. the 10% off code) final sale, even though it doesn’t state that on the item description after the discount is applied. I have no idea if this is true or not (I was able to return 10% off items fine in the past and have not tried to recently), but do please keep us posted about this. 🙂
I will let you know Pauline! Thanks for the info! 🙂

My favorites are the bebe pencil skirt and the cream blouse and the animal print skirt, although a bit too long. Can’t wait to see how you style the julie belted sheath. I ordered the $9.90 skirts from Forever 21 but they didn’t look as good on me as you so I’m returning them. I didn’t realize when you order online you have to ship them back versus returning to the store. Lesson learned.
Oh no! And I believe you can return online items via mail if you want full refund and NOT a credit but you have to pay return shipping but I have returned online orders in store with no problem:)

Love the gold bow blouse! Where is that from?

Lovely picks! Your shopping helps me figure out what I want, which in turn helps me figure out how to chip away at my F21 store credit, lol.
I look forward to seeing how the blouses work on you. I’m larger than you and I still find their blouses boxy and overwhelming. A lot of oversized things look weird on me because I have a small midsection and WIIIDE shoulders. Enjoy your new purchases!
