Forever 21 Reopening

My co-worker friend and I share an obsession with Forever 21, and you all know that I love Forever 21. Needless to say, I was freaking out when she told me that they're renovating the one at a mall near me to a two-story one. Mind you, the one before was incredibly cramped, dirty, unorganized, and an overall pain to shop through. She told me that they're having a reopening event this past Saturday. Doors open at 7:00 AM and the first 200 customers receive gift cards that range from $10 - $210. Immediately, I was thinking who I could drag along to take me. I asked my friend what she was doing Saturday morning and she suspiciously asked why. Hehe. But she loves me and gladly took me. ;)

We left my house at 6:35 AM and entered the mall exactly at 7. It was perfect timing. We didn't have to wait in line and there were still 100 gift cards when we got there. Unfortunately, I didn't get the $210 one, but I got a $20 gift card and I was pretty satisfied.

I was pretty much done all of my Christmas shopping, so I could happily meander around and shop for myself, guilt-free. LOL.

Despite the awkward placement of the sweater in the picture above, I really like it. It's thinly made for a knit, but super comfortable and casual.

Fairisle Print Long Sleeve Top - $15.80

Part of their "Love 21 Contemporary" line, this sweater is made really nicely. It's thick, warm, and has the cutest detailing.

Love 21 sweater in cream/cocoa - $24.80

I have been seeking a denim button up for the longest time. I was always hesitant to buy one whenever I saw, because they were a. over priced, b. too baggy, c. bad quality. I love the wash and details on this shirt. It's loose fitting, but not too baggy. The only thing, it smells a bit acidic from the dye. I hope it goes away once I wash it.

Denim button up - $14.80

My total came to $57.28, but I received a 10% discount for the reopening event as well as my $20 gift card. I ended up paying $31.48. Not bad, right?!

Anyways, sorry for my inconsistent posts once again. Expect my next post to be about CHRISTMAS. Yayay :) It's weird though because it doesn't feel like Christmas at all yet. Maybe it just hasn't hit me.
