New Year, New Me!

So it's 2011. And I'm only 10 days late but this is where I tell you I'm going to be Healthier! And Smarter! And Spend Less! And Do More! And STUFF!

But seriously, why would this kitty change her spots now? Just when we were getting comfortable?

So I had another splurge at Forever 21 right before Christmas... let's dissect, shall we?

Rose Sweater Tunic, $18
Of course it's not actually long enough to be a tunic on me... but I really love purple, 3/4 sleeves, and v-necks. Keeper!

Glamour Bracelet, $10.5o
How is this not sold out?? It's amazing. A customer tried to snatch it off of me at work.

Rhinestone Rose Ring, $5.80
I ordered a size up from my last order... and it was too big. Good thing I ordered 2 sizes. Haha, sneaks!

Fab Basic Top, $6.50
You might be wondering why I'm showing you a shirt so tight that it looks like my boobs, ribs, and lunch are forming a deformed six pack... but this shirt is fantastic for layering. The wide v-neck is perfect cause it won't show under your cute layer-y things. FINALLY!

Cowl Neck Sweater Tunic, $11.50
In the pic on the left, this looks horrible... but I'm not gonna lie, I love it belted. What do you think? I'm indecisive on this one...

Next up, a coat! Never one to have tried F21's coats before... I had to give you a full review.

Herringbone Pea Coat, $34.80

The quality of this isn't bad, if a bit thin - but that's exactly what I was expecting. Style over actual warmth. I got a large because I had tried on a medium of a friend's and it was tiny. It looks too big on me, I think.

Next up, the Hooded Fleece Overcoat, $21.

Basically, this is a fleece that looks like a peacoat... but is the large size too big?? Do I look like I could smuggle babies and drugs under that bad boy??

And last but not least (as far as coats go), the Checkered Woven Coat, $34.80

Oh how I lusted for this coat. Lusted and prayed and wept that it would not sell out. Alas, it's still not sold out.

But I'm pretty sure there's a good reason for that.

(And this is where I curse the gods of all that is technology-related cause I can't upload a dang video.)

So, this jacket? Let's just say it's lined with the cheapest polyester fabric that seriously makes noise when you walk. A scratching, loud noise. Sounds like you forgot to take the plastic off of your clothes.

So horrible.

So despite being cuter than cute... the jacket has to go back. Weeeeep.

New obsession of the week? Pins. Big gaudy ones. I might become the girl that wears that big pin.

Perfectly awesome and blingy. Starburst Diamond Pin.

And then I had to go and order these ugly earrings.
Inappropriately huge and heavy. Anybody know of a DIY project for ugly heavy earrings?? I probably have 5 pair for that project...

No go on and be a dears and tell me if I need to keep the gray sweater and the red coat.

I think the other 2 jackets have to go back (even the super cute checked one... sobbb). Seriously, it's the loudest coat I've ever heard. So bad.

Ok, tell me what's ugly and what's not. It's tradition around here, and I hate to break from tradition.

Happy Monday!!
