Maxi love from F21!

This dress arrived in an obnoxious yellow bag yesterday and I tore it open and immediately tried it on.  It was love at first try and I am planning on wearing it on Mother's Day for our family dinner.  Can you believe I got this tank, mini-cardi and dress for less than 30 bucks?  I know F21 is all the blogger buzz but, I cannot believe how great the things F21 is coming out with lately, and how much I have jumped right on the bandwagon (and proud of it Fo-Sho!)
Dress Forever 21: Retro maxi
Tank Forever 21: Basic knit tank
Cardi Forever 21: Cropped Knit Cardi
Shoes B Makowsky: Gaby Sandals
Necklace: Silver Lining Decor 


*For sizing info- I got a medium in the dress (I think a large would have fit great too), large in the cardi and tank (I usually am a solid medium at Anthro for reference) so I recommend sizing up if unsure.

    Isn't it true that you can't make returns at F21?

    Emily- I am 5'6" hope that helps!

    Hillary- You can make returns but online returns must be shipped back and cannot be made in the store

    GinaBean- My secret is shopping online I get overwhelmed in the store too! And feel really old!

    F21 has some great maxi dresses in right now and clearly this is a good example of one. The cardigan is just the perfect cropped length, too. What a steal!

    I have maxi dress envy - I love the pattern and color combo with your complexion.

    You look so great in this cute Maxi...I hadn't noticed it before but now I sure have...love it! So I decided to just return that lace dress...too much hassel, althought adding lace to the bottom was a great idea. You can make returns at F21 that are from online orders but they give you store credit, by the way...not your actual money back. I just take the credit because I know there will always be something I'll find! =)

    That dress is so cute! I really like the print. Thanks for the sizing info! I never go in person to forever 21 and their sizing is so erratic that I never order from them either. But I think I will fill my craving for a maxi dress with one of their cheap but cute options.

    Happy Mother's Day, Tricia. Hope you get spoiled by your little ones!

    And this is a fantastic dress. I've been looking for a reasonably-priced maxi -- this might be it. Thanks for the sizing help!!!
