Le Vie En Rose






on me: sunnies: forever 21 | sweater: forever 21 | floral skinnies: forever 21 | shoes: target (similar) | necklace: forever 21 | bag: louis vuitton | bracelets: tiffany & co, j crew 

on lorelai: dress: gifted (cute one here) | leggings: target (similar) | studded cap-toe flats: zara mini (love these)

I can't decide if it's completely embarrassing or incredibly frugal to be dressed in head-to-toe Forever 21. At what age are you supposed to stop shopping there anyway? I find it incredibly easy to go in, pick up a few trendy pieces (these floral skinnies are WAY out of my comfort zone in the best way possible) and go on about my wardrobe. I was worried that patterned bottoms would make me appear fuller but I think hope the roll at the ankle helps to slim the line a little. How do you experiment with trendier items? Do you tiptoe into the water via la fast-fashion stores like Forever 21 or do you dive in and splurge on great quality pieces even though you may not grow to love them?

sidenote: Look how big my sweet girl is getting! She's turning into a legit little girl and it's so scary/exciting!

    1. Thanks Olivia! I totally agree, it's like a game to find the look for less pieces at F21. Thanks for your sweet comment!

    1. You're totally right Lexi! I will always love a good bowl of cocoa puffs in the morning, hopefully that's the key to everlasting youth!
