Burn - Forever 21 Layered Contrast Skirt


This would be funny if it weren't so tragic! I feel sorry for the clothes that have to be on the rack next to this Frankenstein's creation. Well if I die before my time in some tragic accident, you know you can reanimate me by dressing me in this because I would come back to life just to burn it. I can almost make out a resemblance in the blue part to those obnoxious pleated miniskirts of almost a decade ago but then why is there a tutu under it? There are questions that should be asked at Forever 21 before designs hit the rack. Questions like "is this hideous?" and if the answer is, in fact, "yes" then do us all a favor and save the resources for something cute. Thank you.

Bonfire - Forever 21 Tops

Introducing the bonfire: where I'll suggest burning so many items, you could make a bonfire out of them and roast marshmallows in the flames. Here we go.

Is this even a style?

Ewww it's see-through and what's with all of the added details and frills? It's like an over-decorated cake.

Upholstery, upholstery, upholstery. That is all.

Do I really need to explain what's wrong here?

If this gives a mannequin a spare tire imagine what it'd do to a real human. Plus, mesh? Really? Go back to the 90s and stay there.

Burn - Forever 21 Ruffle Trim Dress



Trapeze dresses belong in the circus. I feel like I'm stating the obvious but apparently not if forever 21 is churning these out. I have the overwhelming urge to say "jack be nimble jack be quick jack jump over the candle stick" because that is the shape this dress gives you: cylindrical. Like a bolster pillow. With ruffles. GAK!

Burn - Forever 21 Wide Tie Belt Dress



Another deceiving dress from forever 21. It looks like she has tied a matching sweater around her waist but that is just part of the dress! On the bright side, if for some reason you like the sweater-around-the-waist-just-like-grandma look, this dress still gives you that effect in front but leaves your butt out to be admired from behind. There's also room for your just-like-grandma fanny pack. Or if you have parents like mine who want you to bring a sweater everywhere, you can probably fool them if you keep your back to the wall. Well, when we have nuclear war and stat growing four arms, the four sleeves will def come in handy.
