Even though not the same color with this dress you will be up to date in the fashion scene. Bustiers are happening in a big way and this dress does alot for a tall figure showing off the legs, also works great for someone of shorter stature who is wedge shape and with the bustling of the drop waist skirt it ads flare and shape to the hips.

Meet Forever 21’s stylish sisters

Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times

April 04, 2010By BOOTH MOORE, Los Angeles Times Fashion Critique


Read Full article

I will get off topic this week and discuss this weeks L.A. Times Sunday Image section. It is basically about the fashion empire that Forever21 has created and household brand name it has become. They talk about the beginnings and ups and downs of the company. I would just like to point out that I love forever21 i mean this whole blog is composed of the budget wise fashion that can be acquired and duplicated straight from the runways, HOWEVER... my only comment on this article has to do with the fact that I did not know its history of where it was first started prior to reading this article and by doing so it allowed me to find out that the first Forever21 established is the one that is about 1,2,3 blocks away from my house...

Now I know you might be asking well why all the fuss... If you have ever shopped or drove by the Forever21 on Figueroa street in Highland park you must agree that it is not the best looking forever21 store out there inside and out. It very much disappoints me to know that forever21 with the billions and millions of dollars it has it can not for some reason go back to that first store that they opened in 1984 and fix it, maybe make it bigger, buy out the store next to it, I do not know, at least change the name to FOREVER21, because it stil carried FASHION21, which they used before. Like I said, I LOVE FOREVER21 FOR EVER I might add, i shop there at least once a week, but I mean you can say they are trying to preserve its integrity and its history but at least lets fix it and beautify it somehow.

Solid knit Cami

This style is very simple but it goes along way for many body types. While wearing the cami it slims down at the waist and with the skirt it bubbles to hide alot. The skirt is a variation of the original skirt but comes really close, and with this look you can always layer a nice crop jacket and or add accessories such as a belt or a a nice necklace.

This is a cute stylish, and easy to put together look. You might have some of these pieces already in your closet. Its a very casual look so you can wear it out to a picnic, a movie, the mall, it does not matter and it works great for a smaller frame specially if you need some height since you will be elongating your legs with these cute shorts.

This look is very chick, rough, and easy to put together. You really don't need anything other than over sized jeans you might already have or you can buy them at Forever21.com for a very cheap price and make them your own. The top is also very easy to find its trendy following the over-sized stripes and you can cut away the bottom for a more rough look .

This is a great casual look. Looks great either for a quick lunch or a girls night out. Sash is optional can be taken of and substituted with other belts. This is great for a tall figure.

A couple of other jacket options, if you want more of a cropped look or more of an exact look, would be either of the two other jackets I found which do include the black lapel. These these options will be a bit more costly but you will be getting good quality construction and quality fabric!
