Forever 21 H 2 T


H2T modelling is, as ANTM lovers will know, head to toe modelling. So my title basically means I'm dressed in F21 head to toe! Well, technically, that's not true. My shoes are from Lotta from Stockholm, but my cardi, skirt, top and headband are F21 so dude c'mon, quit nitpicking already! 

At the ginormous Forever 21 Antwerp store I shopped my little heart out. I wasn't IN LOVE with anything I put in my shopping bag at first, but that's probably because I was more on the lookout for stuff that I would wear time and time again: basics rather than crushes. But when I tried the pieces on, I did develop tiny little crushes, especially regarding the knitwear! 

This mustard-y cardigan with elbow patches has just the right amount of grandma-ness to it, totally love it. The quilt-denim-skirt just has a great fit and swirly capacity, the headband with bow was something I had been looking for for ages (surprisingly hard to find in our post-Blair Waldorf society!) and the top is just the ideal double for one of my favorite tops, this one, which I wear all the time. So yeay, I'm happy!



I guess this proves it's perfectly possible to create a retro inspired outfit even when shopping at F21 :-) Don't mind my greasy hair btw, I was too lazy to wash it AGAIN. I hate washing my hair, I HATE it. It takes ages and then you have to wait for it to dry, and I always lose loads of hairs when washing. When I had short hair I never noticed any hair loss but whenever my hair gets longer it seems like I lose ALL my hair. Now, it doesn't seem any thinner, but the amount of hairs I lose while washing always worries me! Or am I just being crazy again? How many hairs do you long locked ladies lose while washing? :-D



PS: ignore my sour face plz, I was just tired, but I thought my hair looked adorbs later that evening so I took a picture and here it is.

    They're opening up an F21 in a mall here in Ottawa and I am SO excited. Never thought I'd be excited over F21, but after seeing all their lovely items online... and this is a two-floor deal, so it'll be rather large too. Retro is so in right now though, it's really easy to get an outfit together (at least compared to a few years ago) and have it look vaguely vintage. I really like that elbow-patch cardigan though, it looks snuggly, like something a professor would wear.

    If you ever need a statement headband: REDValentino, Valentino and Miu Miu have a great selection - and headbands are one of the few items of these brands that are really affordable.

    U did the right thing choosing the mustard cardi! All of the items are so you and don't even look like F21.
    About hair, I hate drying my hair, because it's so long it takes ages. And I lose a lot of hair because I don't brush them enough. So major hair loss and hair everywhere. But still I have plenty :p

    First things first: je ziet er weer great uit! Helemaal Annebeth, terwijl het toch uit een winkel komt die op het eerste zicht niet echt een retro/vintage styling toelaat..

    Hoeveel haren ik verlies bij het wassen? Dude you don't even wanna know! Ik borstel mijn haar ook amper - te lui -, dus alle haren vallen ofwel in de badkuip ofwel gewoon door heel het huis. Ook zie ik heel vaak mijn haar op iemand anders z'n trui ofzo.. -_- Anyway, het schijnt normaal te zijn, en hoe langer je haar hoe sneller het je opvalt, dus hopelijk ben ik over 5 jaar niet volledig kaal 8-)

    Oke, nu moet ik zeker naar Forever21. Supermooie outfit!

    Als ik mijn haar gewassen heb, ligt heel de douche en badkamer vol met rost haar ;) Ik laat een spoor na in huis, op al mijn kleren, in de auto, in mijn bed, op mijn vriend zijn kleren... Maarja, dat hoort erbij zeker als je lang haar hebt? :)

    i love everything you bought especially the cardi with the elbow patches. however whenever i've tried on things like that in the past the patches never seem to match my elbows lol...but that one seems to match yours so i'll have to look out for it next time im in f21...or i just have extremely short arms haha :)

    Such cute pieces, especially the cardigan! Oh man, now my desire for an elbow-patch cardigan has been reignited...I first started wanting one after I saw Meg of Bow Ties Are Cool wearing an elbow-patch cardi that she got from H&M. I hope they're all over the place this fall!

    I haven't shopped at F21 in years but you definitely found some gorgeous pieces and managed to put together a very 1vintage style ensemble. The elbow patches on the cardigan really make it unusual and your overall look reminds me of pictures I've seen of female college students studying at American schools in the 40s and 50s.

    I love how you made this outfit look like it may comes from a thrift shop ! Especially like the mustard cardigan. (I almost wish we have a forever 21 in France - but we've already have too many cheap quality shops)

    For the hair loss, I've noticed exactly the same thing since I've let it grown a few years ago. It's more like an optic illusion I guess ;)

    I haven't been dropping by your blog for quite some time and I see you're already using disqus for the comment box. I love ANTM and I can relate with modeling from H2T! I'm no model but it sure give some tips on how to model. Blogging is also like modelling sometimes. And, I'm excited for F21 in our turf.

    I love this outfit...I'd never have guessed it was F21 H2T as it looks so vintagey! And I love that you're smizing too...I don't think I need to explain that term to a ANTM fan :) I just had my first F21 experience last week and I'm in love...such lovely clothes at fantastic prices. It does take some rummaging but you're definitely rewarded for your hard work. Lovely blog btw (thought I'd get in one more acronym!!)

    I love the skirt! I really need to find myself a long skirt because they're so pretty. Especially b/c I shop at F21 way too much.

    That cardigan is pretty cute! Maybe I should try to get over my "it shall be wool or never darken my doorstep" snobbery. Oh, and I HATE washing my hair. Especially those mornings when it actually looks perfect but you know it'll be appallingly greasy in minutes if you go out. Dry shampoo is my friend. : )

    I love your outfit! I especially love the lace top - its adorable. Also don't worry I lose a ridiculous amount of hair whenever I wash my hair.
