Forever & Ever? Thursday, January 31, 2008 11:30 PM

Rarely do I venture beyond the accessories section in Forever 21. Whenever I pick up their clothing it feels like it will disintegrate in my hands. However, occassionally I take a peek at their clothing online. Somehow their clothes always looks better on my monitor and I've taken a liking to these two dresses.

Maybe I will go look at them in store. I'm not holding my breath though. If it's like all the other times, the actual item won't live up to its screen image.

I know what you mean. I was so excited to go to Forever 21 last year but it turned out that most of clothes are really bad, I didn't like the fabric. I only bought 2 or 3 pieces which seemed to be okay. But the dresses which you show are really cute. Especially the last one but I'm afraid that it's not a nice fabric (could be icky polyester) I wish you luck!

According to the website, the green dress is supposed to be 70% cotton & 30% silk, which I find very surprising! Afterall, it's Forever 21, land of ultra-cheap polyester. Fabric aside, I find their workmanship very shoddy as well.

By the way, you're either up really early or I'm up really late!

ooh i'm liking the green dress. and yeah, i know what you mean about forever 21. it's always been very hit or miss when i go in there. some stuff is cheap because it's made cheaply; other stuff (if you look hard enough) is a great bargain -- i'm reminded of that issue a few months back when several designers criticized the store for ripping off their designs. so if it's similar enough to strike up that issue, i'm down (as bad as it is!). ;)

I guess I'm up very early, I think my post was something like 7am because I check my mails before going to work, e.g. now it's 11:49pm...time to go to bed :p

Unfortunately, I never have the patience to pick through the clothing at F21. I'm sure there are some treasures though, it's such a popular store for a reason!
