I scored this Forever 21 color block sweater for only $4.50 in store during the 50% off sale. It’s super soft and I love the navy with mint stripes.  There are so many times where I’ve sworn off shopping from this store but they have really stepped it up within the last year. I also picked up a brown v-neck sweater for $2.99.  I’ve had a lot of luck lately!

Since I’ve worn my Old Navy jeans in campfire to death (almost every weekend), I decided to pick up a pair of these starry nights when they were on sale for  $11.50 recently. The color is much nicer in person than it is online. I’m not a fan of the orange stitching but I can’t complain for the price. I ordered 0P and 0 short and the 0P was much too short. They both fit similar but are much shorter than my campfire jeans. The fit isn’t as nice either, I find myself pulling up the waist throughout the day. It’s very confusing and frustrating when it comes to sizing and consistency with Old Navy jeans.  I ended up keeping the 0 short (as reference, I’m 5′ tall).

On another note, I just received this adorable burgundy lace dress and will do a review later.  I originally wanted the cream color but it sold out in XS.

  1. congrats to the winner!
    another beautiful outfit! I love the sweater and the entire outfit! I like your style sooo much!

  2. Cute sweater and great find! I need to shop in the sale section more. hehe

    Lucky winner too! I love both bangles on you.

    The lace dress is pretty. I pinned it in cream ages ago so I can’t believe it was still available. The burgundy color is lovely on you.

    • Thanks S! I normally don’t have patience but the last 2 sales, I have managed to rummage through the very unorganized racks and get some goodies 🙂 I so wish cream was available in the lace dress…

  3. Cool and casual. Very nice outfit here, Annie. I mentioned this lace dress could be in almost any other color or combination of colors- it is still beautiful. While I may use “beautifully blue,” you’re beautifully burgundy with those pictures of the burgundy lace dress.

  4. You seem to have the best luck finding great deals at F21. All the sale sections at my nearest stores look like a tornado came through them. Also, that burgundy dress is gorgeous! Definitely looking forward to the review 🙂

    xo

  5. that sweater is so cute! I love seeing your F21 picks. Without knowing it, I had weaned myself from shopping there, because it’s just so overwhelming, the store and the website! So it helps when you narrow down the selection.
    & that lace dress looks amazing on you!
