Forever 21’s BOGO Free Sale on Clearance Begins Friday

Hello Lovelies,

I have great news for you.  Starting June 30th through July 4th, Forever 21 is having their Buy One Get One Free on their Clearance.  This is a sale I plan on hitting up.

Shop Forever 21: Buy One, Get One Free on Sale Items with Promo Code: BOGOFREE! (6/30 – 7/4)

Why Forever 21?

Over the past couple of years Forever 21 has become my go to source for items I can’t find in the big department stores.  When I was looking for maxi cardigans that go all the way to your ankles, no place had it.  I stopped into Forever 21, just by chance, and they had it.  Trust me when I say I stocked up.

I spent two years looking for a satin jacket.  The search finally came to an end when I found one online at F21.  It fit so well and looked gorgeous.  I received so many compliments on it.

I am a stickler about quality.  I find F21’s quality has improved over the years.  I bought a couple of tops the last time I was in Las Vegas (2 or 3 years ago).  They are still holding up very well.

Just recently, I was shopping around for the Miu Miu Lace Up Ballet Flats.  I loved the style, but not the price.  Something told me to check F21.  I found the exact same shoe for around $20.  [See post]

There are very few shops that are on my list of approved ‘low end’ stores.  F21 made the cut just because they seem to have whatever obscure piece of fashion I dream up that I want to add to my closet, and it’s not crap.  Each item I purchased has staying power.  I love their shoes and jewelry, too.  I also purchased a few handbags from them to add to my collection.

With all of the 4th of July sales coming up, this is one you will definitely need to shop, my dear fashionistas. Mark it down!

How to Stop Traffic Wearing Reds: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone


I am stepping out of my comfort zone a lot lately, daring to wear red.  In the past few months, I donned a red dress here and there and received many compliments.

These dresses are not necessarily dresses that show off my assets.  They are just showstoppers because of the color.  It literally stops people in their tracks, just like a stop light does.  People take notice when they see red.

I wore this Kate Spade ensemble to the office this week.  A lot of the ladies stopped to remark at how cool it looked.  It was light and airy.  The matching bag though is my favorite.

Before you think you cannot afford to spend $726 on an outfit like this, get it for $139 like I did through Rent the Runway Unlimited.  You choose any three items out at any time for $139/month.  It is perfect for those who love expensive clothing, have a constant rotating closet, or just want to be a minimalist.  Or you can just buy it because you have to own it.

Personally, I own way too much clothing as is, but every now and again, I like the thought of having something new to wear.  I usually wear an item once every season (because I have that many clothes).  It’s nice that RTRU is around so I can minimize my closet and still have something fun to wear to work and out for the evening without adding to my closet.

Don’t be scared to wear red.  Sometimes just trying it out will amaze you.  If you’re afraid to make that bold of a statement, start small with a red accessory.  Even a red jacket is a step in the right direction.  Red has a misnomer of being a sexy color.  It can also be a color of energy, strength, power, passion, love and desire.  It can be all of those things or one of those things…it just depends on how you wear it.

Here are all of my favorite red fashion items.  What is your favorite?
