Dangling

December 5th, 2009 Nini Leave a comment Go to comments

I’m wearing one of my favorite dresses. I got this dress on sale at F21 for $7.99 two years ago!  Every time I wear it people always ask me where I got it. That tells you F21 does have nice things but you have to look for them. As long as you have checked the quality of the fabric and are satisfied with the way the garment is made, you can usually depend on F21. Try it! If you have any good stories about F21, leave them in the comments.
Have a wonderful weekend. Xoxox Nini Nguyen

Wearing: ABS faux fur, F21 dress, Barneys over the knee boots, vintage scarf.

I just put up this mini Christmas tree up for Loc. Isn’t cute? I love the look of all the Christmas ornaments dangling down.

    I love how you paired the bright yellow scarf with the fur coat. it creates some pretty awesome contrast. And go Forever21! Have you noticed that within the last 6 months their styles have exponentially gotten better? Lucky for us!

    I find a lot of my stuff from Forever 21 seems to last me forever if I take good care of it. I still have stuff from 5 years ago that I can wear. And if I search hard enough, I can usually find a good piece for a good price. Great post, Nina!

    today i learned another new thing from your blog: checked the quality of the fabric and must be satisfied with the way the garment is made.

    i always never do that before purchasing any attire and usually throw many dresses away due to its poor quality. from now on, i swear on myself that i’m gonna be particular when it comes to buying clothes, no matter cheap skate items.

    by the way, you look so different when you have your hair tied up like this, very refreshing look. you wore the faux fur well, i must say.

    i don’t have doubt in buying clothes which is a good quality
    and less expensive. it’s one thing i make sure when i buy
    clothes too. the quality of fabric.

    nini- you always look glamorous.
    navy blue and yellow makes a perfect color match.

    oh, i love the christmas decorations at locs home
    sweet home! job well done on interior designing,
    nini!

    Hello to sweet sunshine Miss Nini!
    I love the yellow scarf to this outfit!
    The second picture of you is my favorite!! I LOOOOOOVE THAT PIC! :-D You look so beautiful, darling!
    Unfortunately I don’t own ONE single item from F21 but I’m checking their page often and I’m surprised how many lovely items they offer!
    I agree with you – and coming back to Hanh’s and my sadly not so good experience with the quality of Isabel Marant boots – I’m so happy with items I bought at Zara and Topshop. I’ve purchased a yellow large travel bag from Topshop made of the most amazing leather – it’s just awesome – and you would have never thought it’s Topshop.
    The little Christmas tree is gorgeous!! <3 <3 <3
    Wishing you and Loc a wonderful weekend!!
    much love always, s.

    ps. YAAAAAAAY! the comment is appearing again! how did you solve that? :-D

  14. December 5th, 2009 at 08:52 | #14

    i like how you put the yellow & navy together.
    it’s true about f21, there are hidden gems in there. i have a kimono from f21 that is easily over 6 years old, and i still get compliments on it whenever i wear it.

    Hi Ni,
    I remember that dress. I love it too.

    Your yellow scarf is gorgeous.

    Cute Xmas tree!!!

    Hanh,

    I love the coat!

  17. December 5th, 2009 at 14:13 | #17

    That’s a bargain dress. That said, I’ve never set foot in a Forever21 in my life!

  18. December 5th, 2009 at 14:23 | #18

    Just goes to show that if you hunt around there are always little bargains to be found! Love the cute pompom scarf xx

    You look beautiful Nini. myself wear slot of f21 stuff and completely agree with u regarding the quality of fabric. It has last well for me. Very good job with the tree.

  20. December 5th, 2009 at 15:39 | #20

    forever 21 is the bomb! i got a brocade leopard print coat last year & it still looks brand new. better quality than target stuff & often cheaper! you look great, btw…love that faux wrap!

  21. December 6th, 2009 at 04:43 | #21

    Nice post Nini. I lovvve F21 also! I have so many sweater dresses from there that are so cute! They’re from a brand they carry called Heritage 1981. H81 always has great pieces of good quality :)

  23. December 6th, 2009 at 20:23 | #23

    LOVE F21, and this dress looks great on you! I’m not a fan of our new F21 store in Vancouver.. it seems like we are getting all the cheap, ugly rejects, but I hope that the quality in merch will go up soon!

  24. December 6th, 2009 at 21:26 | #24

    Forever 21 clothes are good quality! They have lots of cool stuff too to go along with the quality. Your outfit is super cute! :)

  25. December 7th, 2009 at 06:50 | #25

    That dress is gorgeous!
    Hope you had a great weekend!

    I always wonder how come you own lots of nice real clothes and still shops at F21. I could never go back to such cheap clothes. You should know the difference between real & knockoff. Also i wouldn’t support F21 because of their company spirit. They’ve been sued million times for stealing design. When you buy $25 dress, you are supporting child labor and who knows what else?
    Obviously you don’t really care those issues. Shame on someone who works in the industry and promotes fishy company.

  27. December 7th, 2009 at 23:48 | #27

    I love searching through forever21 for an item that becomes one of my most cherished!

  28. December 8th, 2009 at 09:19 | #28

    Hey darling….

    How are u? You look beautiful as always! I too love F21 eventhough I haven’t really been shopping in months, is crazy. The itch is killing me as I so want to spend all my money in clothes but have to invest it all in fixing my apt.

    Love the Xmas tree for Loc.

    Muahhhz,
    Maury
