Forever21.com Haul/Christmas Gifts

Late on Thanksgiving night my sister alerted me to a really awesome "Black Friday" sale on Forever21.com.  All of the redline merchandise was an additional 50% off and shipping was free on all orders.  They had tons of great stuff on sale, and when all was said and done, both my sister and I had each bought about $65 worth of sale items from the site.  Since it was about to be Christmas, we decided that we would just be lazy and pay for each other's orders and exchange these items as "gifts" with my family on Christmas.  Here are the things that I chose:



Quilted Faux Leather Bomber- $9.00
This was my favorite purchase from this haul.  I love the 90's style, it fits well, and it will make a great jacket for transitioning from winter into spring.  I always get nice jackets on sale from Forever 21.


 Varsity 33 Sweatshirt-$6.99
This blue sweatshirt is comfy and cozy, but still cute.  I've already worn it a couple of times on nights in with friends.

 Faux Leather Front Top-$4.99
This was the item I liked the least from this haul.  I bought this thinking it was great for an edgier more dressed up version of jeans and a T-shirt.  It's ok, considering it cost just $4.99, but I just don't especially love it.

 

"C" Initial Cell phone charm- 50 cents
I'm a sucker for cell phone accessories.  This blinged out "C" was an awesome deal!



Quilted Shoulder Black Tee- $5.49
I was definitely on a quilting/faux leather kick that night I ordered.  I love this one.  It is a basic with a little extra pop of style.  I just wonder how well it will wash...


Striped Dolman Tee-$4.99
Another great basic piece, and while it looks bit boxy on the hanger, I really like the fit.  It lays really nicely.


Studded Cross Tee-$4.49
This is another "dressed up casual" piece with a nice fit.


Window-pane Sweater-$6.99
I love this one.  It fits great and looks so stylish on!  It will work through winter and transition into early spring, too!


Studded-shoulder sweatshirt-$6.99
This is a more fitted sweatshirt for that girly embellished sweatshirt look. The fit makes it great for with jeans or a little skater skirt.


 Zippered Floral Skinny Jeans-$8.49
These have a short inseam that fits me great.  I think the floral print will make them pretty for spring and summer.
I noticed that "Andystyle", a beautiful fashion blogger that I follow, incorporated these same jeans in two of her recent looks.  (You can check those out here and here.)


Striped Skater Skirt-$3.99
I love skater skirts, stripes, and anything cheap, so this skirt is absolutely perfect for me!


Also, I thought I'd include some other Christmas gifts I got in with this post...


The Naked 3 Palette was #1 on my wishlist! 


 I got this pretty TIGI eye shadow and liner set from a friend. 


 A cute and inspiring Tee from Old Navy.


 Some lotion.


A really cute 10 pack of OPI mini polishes in classic colors. 


So, what was the best gift that you got lately?
