I am posting this warning before these posts in the future because I am really annoying. OK, I love a great deal as much as the next girl but please think of at least five occasions to which you can wear this item. I have too many one-wear or no-wear pieces in my closet and while they were had at excellent prices, it’s not worth it. Think about it, if you buy 30 cheap pieces @ $10 a piece from F21 every month, in a year you have spent $3600 on some cheap clothes that you’ve worn only a handful of times. If you invest that money with a 5% annual return rate, in 20 years you’ll have $9,551.87. I know we have to account for inflation, but can you imagine spending almost 10 grand a year at Forever 21?!
I don’t know if this is common knowledge but I noticed that a few items on Forever 21’s New Arrivals page will be marked down some 75% (different things every day). I am assuming it’s not a huge deal and that I am only discovering it now because I don’t visit Forever 21 very often.
I didn’t get any of these because I very recently placed an order (which I am beating myself up about), but I was definitely tempted. Here are four things I would’ve gotten but didn’t because truthfully, no one needs to order from F21 every other week.
Pinstripe Woven Shorts – was $16.99, now $4.99
Chambray Woven Skirt – was $22.80, now $6.99
Matelot Woven Shorts – was $18.99, now $4.99
Five Button Jacket – was $37.80, now $12.99
The only thing from my order that is still on the website is this Tiered Scallop Edge Skirt.
Cee and Sydney both told me about the skirt so both of them deserve credit if this skirt turns out to be a win. Look how pretty it is styled on the model!
