The Last Thing I Need...

...Is to place another online shopping order at Forever21.
Let me just tell you - never before have I been an online shopper:

A. I hate waiting for my stuff to arrive 
(I might sound like a brat but I want it right here right now- 
especially if the money is already missing from my bank account!)
B. What if the stuff I ordered doesn't fit!? Too big? Too small? Keeps me up at night worrying
(jkzzz, that'd be pathetic..)
C. If my stuff doesn't fit/I don't like it  - I hate having to go through the hassle of sending it back, and often just end up keeping things I don't like 
(talk about a waste of mooolahh)

But I can't seem to stay away from that ever looming "New Arrivals" section - I mean how can you NOT click on it? Who knows what wonderful (not to mention cheap) finds could be under that tab!
So sometimes, I just have to do it! I just have to click, and how much harm can one click do? Whelp.. In my case, sitting in my bed yesterday, a WHOLE lot of damage. (although, good news is I haven't purchased yet.. Just eyeing..)

When you click on that tab, you know that feeling you get when you're shopping and you're just thinking to yourself: "Gosh I hope I find something thats just TDF cute and all my friends tell me how great of a find it was and it looks like its from anthropologie, but really it's from forever21 and cost me 10 dollars..." haha okay, maybe that's only me - but it happens every time!




I alway start with "New Arrivals - Apparel - Tops"
First thing to catch my eye? This pesky little "shirt-cardigan-blazer" thing.. Aka: Shawl Neckline Cardigan
I own one similar to it, but its navy and patterned with small dot/flower things, so lord knows I need another one, another PLAIN one - because I totally know I have some patterned tank tops that would look superb under that baby. AND the price tag is a measly $14.50 - Can't say I hate it. OH and best part? It comes in three fabulous colors: This navy/grey, black, and nude.











Of course I found my way to another shirt that I've decided I can't live without, it's what they, at F21, call a Trapeze Silhouette Top - I mean how great would this baby look over a tight "bandeau" (thats what they're called right?) skirt!? And not to mention it's long sleeved so its perfect for the fall/winter months! ANNDD only $13.50? Yup. My kinda shopping. Oh, and did I forget to mention it comes in 3 great fall colors? (Red, Pumpkin, and Black)











Moving on to: "New Arrivals - Apparel - Dresses"
Totally my even bigger weakness, because as it turns into fall I can't help but start to imagine all of my dresses making the transition into the new season with black tights and boots.. This Pleated Colorblock Dress fits perfectly into that category - maybe more in the navy than the red - but I do think the red would look lovely in the summer! Better get on that one now.. Oh even though the price tag gets a bit steeper on these babies, $28.90, I think its totally worth the investment.




...and of course there's another dress that falls perfectly into the fall line-up!
This Abstract Print Dress could go summer/spring when needed, and fall when necesscary!
I can't get enough of it - with a pair of nice dark frye boots and maybe gray tights/leggings? Get in my closet now! And even cheaper than the dress above! Only $24.80. Yes, its true. I think I need it, no wait, I KNOW I need it. 









Last but not least, you definitely can't miss the "New Arrivals - Accessories" section! Its obvi the most important one - don't they say the accessories make the outfit? Okay, maybe not, but I totally believe it sometimes!
First: This braided watch? TDF. Perfect casual transition from my heavy silver Michael Kors - I mean you can't wear that baby all the time - too much of a fashion statement - But I think this one could transfer easily between casual class time and frat/bar time! (hahah yes I am using "time" to talk about a watch, no pun initially intended, but now it totally is) and at $12.80? I'd be willing to pay that much to be on time! 
Next is the, what I call a bit of a beautiful bag (even though it probably smells like plastic and will most likely start to break after a few wears..) or the Pebbled Leatherette Tote Bag. It seems to be flawless, and the perfect size.. But I'm always slightly weary about F21's bags.. they tend to be.. well... They just tend to range in quality haha But I would LOVE for this one to hold up.. and with a price tag of $32.80 I would hope it does! I mean I'd probably be willing to us this one of my off days from my Zara bag, of course! 

Do you guys have any site you just can't avoid for online shopping? I'd love to branch out haha

Happy Thursday!
Tomorrow is Friday, Friday, Friday - Gettin' down on Friday, Partyin' Partyin' YEAH

(Is that whole Friday song/metion a little old? Hope not, because every time I say "Friday" that little ditty pops in my head - totally what Rebecca black was going for.

PS: Remix of that lovely song:
Its fine, I was totally addicted all through August..

Gaspppp. I NEED that shawl cardigan... in like every color. I went to Forever21 this morning actually and I didn't see any of those items. I wish they made it easier to nab these things! I might have to make an online purchase now!

I'm always so tempted to order online from f21 then I'm anxiously awaiting the package and like tracking it 24/7. They have so much cute stuff right now, my f21 never has anything I see online which makes it even more tempting to make the purchases!
