Fortunately, nothing crazy happened to me yesterday. I’ve decided to get back to the roots of my blog – Clothing and Accessories.

All Things Forever 21

Forever 21 is a great place to find cheap and trendy accessories. I never feel guilty about buying loads of accessories because I know it will last me a season and will eventually be replaced with the next season’s trend. While New York has plenty of Forever 21 locations, I can’t seem to muster up the courage or patience to shop in the store. Here are my recent Forever 21 online purchases and some ideas of how to wear them.

The color purple and patent leather are two of my favorite things (among many others). Both belts add a little “edge” to your outfit. I pair these belts with a black sheath dress, tights and some large colorful accessories. (Belts $4.50 each)

In the words of Rachel Zoe – “ OMG! I Die. I Die.” I just purchased these puppies and love them. The flowers are big and make a huge statement, but no guts, no glory. I pair these with pretty much everything I own that fits into the color scheme. Deep purple is huge this season and looks great with any hair color. Each of these headbands comes in several other colors and range from $4.50-$7.80 each.

When it comes to rings, I say “the bigger, the better.” Maybe your long-term boyfriend will get the hint… Rings are a great way to put your stamp on any outfit. A simple solid dress with a colorful ring and tights goes a long way. The rings range in price from $3.80 - $5.80.

Necklaces are always a great accessory to make any outfit more dramatic. Large, long and layered necklaces are definitely the trend this season. Pair these necklaces with a high shirt or dress neckline or even a collared shirt that’s unbuttoned (a little cleavage, but not too much). Prices range from $7.80-$14.80.

Accessories are supposed to be fun and reflect your personal style. Never think twice about what anyone else thinks. Wear what makes you happy. My theory is - As long as YOU like it, ROCK IT!
