Online Shopping Sickness

Last week, there were a ton of great sales online. Naturally, I jumped on that train like white on rice.

I got a TON of new stuff for work - all kinds of black tops that can be dressed up, down, and sideways. It was perfect.

Then, last Friday, I found out that our work dress code is changing. To NOT include black.

Hahahahahahahaha not funny.

So now I have four huge boxes from different retailers that need returned.

Not that I'm any stranger to returning stuff... but this stuff was good! Cute! Reasonably priced (read: cheap!).

But no worries, I ordered plenty of unnecessary stuff from Forever21 so let's talk about that, shall we?

First up, this leopard print top. It's kinda hard to tell from the way I'm standing, but this top is hella unflattering. It's has what I believe may be called a slight dolman sleeve... but mostly, it just makes me look like a hunchback.

Next up, Double Disc Drop Earrings. I love these but they're huuge. Might cut off that bottom part to make them much smaller.
Gold Leaf Earrings. I picture this in some breezy Jennifer-Aniston-type outfit. Why? No idea.
Next up, the Metallic Flower Stretch Bracelet. I love it so much. It looks much more expensive than it was. Swooon.
These are a departure from what I might normally wear in jewelry... but it was fun so I had to go there. Stretch bow bracelet and bow rings (in two colors). No, I won't normally wear both rings and the bracelet on the same hand. But maybe I will.

I used my fav program, MS Paint, on this next pic to help you see the issue here. You see, this dress.... was constructed poorly. On a hill, perhaps. Either way, it's totally jacked up and not straight AT ALL. Return, pronto. (And yes, I know the length of this dress is probably ugly but Sarah likes to cover herself up and it seemed like a good idea at the time. I was drunk. Or not.)

Next up, Under the Sea necklace. I was hoping for a little more, but it's still cute. Either way, I'm stuck with it per the F21 jewelry return policy. As in, you can't return jewelry.

I need your help with this next one. I want to love the Strapless Knit Dress. It was less than $14 and it's just so easy... but. Does anybody want an easy strapless dress? Wouldn't you (and by you I mean me) prefer something with straps. It's got these weird fake boobs built in (see pic above for illustration). I dunno. I want to love... but really. Strapless? Ugh.


I thought this next dress was going to be the smash hit of the lot. Belted Jersey Knit Dress. It's ok. It's very orange (scary!). Eh, what do you think?

And last but not least, I really need your help here. Wild Printed Woven Dress. I love love am completely obsessed with this print. It's bright and fun but overall not too crazy. So - is it too short? Or am I just the most prude-ish person who shops at Forever21?

I make it a policy to NEVER show that much thigh, ever, except in a swimsuit... but I don't know. You be the jury. Short or too short?

That's all for today my lovelies... I'm too busy repacking all my black clothing orders into boxes and shipping them back.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!
