I gave in, even when I promised myself I wasn’t going to partake this year. However, the matrix and 70% off sale at Forever 21 lured me in. Here’s what I got:
A blazer, a Grandpa Cardigan, a skater dress and a pair of flats.I also got some leggings and a scarf. (Not Pictured) Grand total? FORTY DOLLARS.
The flats, are just a basic nude shoe, that literally go with everything. I love the “patent” look to them, I know I will definitely be running these to the ground once it gets warmer. They weren’t on sale, but at $12.90, I figured it’s still a steal.
Let’s get into my favorite piece from this trip, the printed blazer. Retails for $39.80, I scored this gem for $4.99. Yes $5, I couldn’t leave it behind. It’s a little oversized, with it being size large, but I don’t care, it will be layering royalty. I love a print, I love a blazer, it’s a win win!
The skater dress, is just that. A cute little black dress, that I can jazz up or down. This little gem was $6. Stay tuned for how I style these pieces on my Instagram feed.
The Grandpa cardigan at $7 and it’s unique mustard color, will be another layering staple in my wardrobe this winter! What did you all score this holiday?
