…outfit post: FINALLY…
(moment of vanity)

August 03 2010

After an obsessive hunt, I’ve finally found something from Forever 21 that I can get jiggy with.  And I don’t use the term obsessive euphemistically - after I saw The Glamourai’s photos from her F21 collabo, I was logging on to the website twice a day to see whether or not the shirt had been added.

Damn shame.

Actually, given the two-week turnaround time for a lot of their clothing, it wasn’t too much of a shame…ok, it was a shame…but it’s fine now because I got the shirt.  SUCCESS!!

Twelve by Twelve/F21 shirt
Rossmore necklace & ring
more paperbagginess via H&M shorts
Bruno Valenti shoes

001

I think I want to get a second one, but that’s probably because magazines have told me that when you really like something, it’s good to buy it in multiples.

Now that I just typed that, I don’t think I need more than one shirt covered in printed safety pins…yeah, probably don’t need more than one shirt covered in printed safety pins…

    Hahaha! Yeah, the shirt’s a beaut, but I still agree, one should suffice! Cute outfit all around.

    It’s like that fallacy that you need to rinse, lather, repeat. Who the fuck washes their hair twice in a row, besides people that like to buy too much shampoo–and people that buy things in multiples.

    Then again, it looks cute in pink too. Seriously considering buying it myself.

    Oh I like that top! And I hate how magazines have programed us to buy in multiples, but I have that urge sometimes too. But when I stop to think (which rarely happens, lol) I realize I really never need a backup or 2 of the same thing….

    Thanks, lin! And there are probably more. Last I checked (yesterday…and I’m not even sure why, LOL), all the sizes were still in stock.

    And yes. The store and web never really match. FRUSTRATING!!!
