Keep me away from Forever 21

Before I got married I was a total shopaholic! I was obsessed with shoes, dresses, purses, tops, jeans, you name it. And since I always worked a billion jobs and didn't have many bills to worry about I was able to support my shopping habit.

However once I was married reality set in. My student loans started coming, we had a wedding to pay off, rent, internet, cable, and other bills. So my shoppings days have diminished. I will admit, I may shop more often than I should but compared to how much I used to shop I have made major improvements.

Forever 21 is my down fall. I just love this store. I can't go in it without spending a fortune. The good thing about shopping there though is the cheap prices. I get alot of clothes for the money I spend. M bought me a gift card there for my bday and the next day I had to go there. However, they are in that in between stage where they have mostly sale items, winter clothes and only a few spring clothes so I didn't buy anything. I did however look on their website to see what they had and fell in love with this dress



I just love it. It's a mini version of my wedding dress. I want to buy it so bad!!! I know I probably wouldnt have any place to wear it. I work with kids so it's not like I ever would have to wear a dress to work, M's unit isn't having a military ball since everyone is deployed and I do have a wedding to go to this summer but you can't wear a white dress to some one else's wedding. I do want it because I want M and I to take couples pics when he gets back and I'm also planning on doing a boudoir photo shoot and thought I could incorporate the dress into both of those some how. Hmmm

Now the question is, too buy or not too buy? Help!!!

  1. Aww, but it would be so cute for a photo shoot!! My husband & I didn't get great wedding pictures, and I had my dress cleaned & boxed before I thought about doing trash the dress photos, so I say GO FOR IT!!

  2. As soon as I saw this I started cracking up! Forever 21 is a major downfall for me too!

    My best friend calls me to ask me if she's allowed to buy things when she wants me to help her justify her shopping sprees! So, if you were my best friend calling me, I would totally say to you right now, Um, yeah, you should totally get it because it's on a gift card and we all know you're allowed to buy whatever you want on gift cards because it's free money and it doesn't count!

  5. I would get it!

    I love Forever 21, but the nearest one is over an hour away. Probably a good thing, or I would spend way to much money.

  11. It's so cute! I can never find anything at Forever 21 that fits me, I guess I'm too curvy! LOL - you should definitely get it for your pics when M returns!

  12. um, DEFINATELY buy! did you see american idol the other night? the gorgeous curly-haired chick that got kicked off last night wore something like this with a black jacket, black leggings (or possibly jeans) and some HOT boots and it looked AH-MAZING. and then of course, for when M returns as well ;) DOUBLE win!!!

    forever 21 is the devil. it is so dangerous when i go in there ... :)

  13. I love F21 too! That place gets me into some major trouble sometimes. I say get it. You might regret it and I've never seen anything like it before. It's so unique.
