Lets Make a Fierce Outfit....at work

Basically we decided to challenge ourselves by creating a fabulous outfit from our place of work: Forever 21. Rather than actually working our wimpy 5 hour shift Saturday morning, we ran around the store looking through each ridiculously named section (sweet pea and map quest anyone?). Anyways, after a tiring morning filled with countless clothes to put back and demanding customers, we finally clocked out and made a bee line towards the change rooms. Since we spend so much time there (ha!), I thought having a blocked off change room can be the least thing the store can do. Perfect, a whole mirror to myself, rolling rack holder walls to show people they cannot come near us and two wonderful critics/stylists to make jokes with. Let the fashion show being!

Look 1: Roberto Cavalli

A long ethnic print polyester gown. Bad. I don't even want to talk about it.

Look2: Chole

Wide legs jeans with a sheer grey blouse, tucked in of course. To our surprise this one actually looked pretty nice.

Look3: Alexander Wang

Mens grey wash jeans (cuffed), black velvet blazar, knock off miu miu multicoloured oxford-like pumps and my own ralph lauren men's white oxford (thanks dad). This by far was the favourite. I guess I just suit mens wear. I'm far from a runway model, but it was pretty fierce.

Look4: DVF/MiuMiu/Balenciaga

Knock off DVF black ruffle wrap dress, those miu miu copy pumps, that black velvet blazar and my oxford. I was hoping the dress could be a long cape but it looked back the the oxford, so we tied it in the front to make a dress. It made me look skinny, which is always good. This was another favourite outfit.

I've learned some things from this little adventure, well not really learned just reminders of things to buy. First some good black pumps, mens' jeans and maybe another blazaer. I think I may invest in a classic Ralph Lauren one with the gold buttons, white lining and patch on the side.

So next time you step into Forever 21, challenge yourself. Make a super fierce outfit, or try on the one we made.
