I tweeted about this monstrosity on Saturday but thought I should definitely put it in the blog, too. It's from Forever 21's Faith 21 collection, which is offering ridiculous options for plus sized girls (in addition to a couple of really cute items).
Here's the thing - this is clearly labeled "dress" on Forever 21's website, yet it's in the "Knit Tops" section. WTF, F21???? Yes, the title of this post is the actual mapping on the website. Now, I'm not here to ridicule anyone on their size. We're all beautiful and God's creatures and women of all shapes and sizes can rock it and blahity blah blah. I'm just saying that just because "Faith 21" puts a plus size model in this shiz, doesn't mean she or you can get away with it. Hell, even a skinny bitch would look ridic.
I love a good trip to Forever21. I mean, I can kill it in there and walk out with a pretty full yellow and black bag of goodies to help me look stylish and pretty. You know, we girls love to look pretty.
But I also have to endure mannequins dressed like this model:
Ladies, y'all KNOW you're not going to look like this model in this Sweater "Dress" and you know you're going to Hooker-it-Up with some Hooking Up Hooker Boots (or as I like to call them, HUH? Boots) and you KNOOOOOW your friends are going to LAF at you behind your back and if you live in the Atlanta area YOU KNOW I'm going to see you out at East Andrews wearing this and snap a pic on my camera phone and post you up here. Sigh. That was a run on sentence.
Please wear this with skinny jeans and some cute black boots that don't go up your knee. I mean, it'd be super cute, right?
Please at LEAST wear some black leggings underneath.
No, tights are NOT pants and you will be ridiculed if you wear them.
Lastly, FAIL if you try to wear these with those patterned tights that look like you have some weird skin rash.
If you don't believe me, bend over. Yes, your lady bits are hanging out. Dress denied. BAM.
Y'all know how I feel about Macy*s... well, here comes Forever 21 trumping Macy*s by a LONG shot. And a big thanks to Melody for bringing this atrociousness to my attention!
THIS item is clearly filed under tops on their website. Thanks for portraying it as a "top" so well, F21!
FAIL.
Also in the tops section... WHATTHEHELLISGOINGON??!! Isn't she cold!? It's effing winter!
Screw Forever 21, I'm shopping at Charlotte Russe for all my socheaptheyllfallapartafteronewash items. Surely they would never mis label a shirt as a dre- aw, crap! Nevermind.
Apparently, you must pay more for a decent amount of fabric. Which I guess makes sense... Banana Republic, here I come!
