The basics... with a litttle *bling*.

    
This weekend, we're attending my sister's Bat Mitzvah [Not that a disclaimer is necessary, but in case you're wondering, I'm not Jewish.  My father remarried, had a daughter, and converted to Judaism.]  And as Ryan has heard about 500 times more than he would prefer, in his married lifetime, "I have nothing to wear."
  
So last night I took a little trip to Forever 21.  I'd been needing to go ever since I saw Valerie's post, and other Buy This, Not That posts, in which she highlights a not-so-budget-friendly item and a budget-friendly alternative (love it).  My finds were pretty basic, but the classic GAP girl inside of me sauntered on the edge a bit, with shiny sequins, risqué lace, and puffy sleeves.  Okay, really not quite that exciting, but never hurts to spice things a little.
 
My picks...

    Nice! I have to admit that I've never been to a Forever 21 store, but I love everything I see that came from there. Maybe a shopping trip should be added to my 'to do' list this weekend!
    Have a great time. I bet you'll look great!

    I love shopping at F21 and that sweater dress and sequin number are both great. It's definitely time for me to hit F21.

    I love the lace sleeve sweater. I think I may have to take a trip to Forever 21. It has been a while since I have been there. I used to buy all my fashion jewelry there for pretty cheap.
