cheap thrills

Dress & faux leather waistcoat: Forever 21. Boots: Sam Edelman
I levitated towards a woman at Forever 21 who’s arm was draped with this little number “Where did you get that?” I purred. “Oh it’s over there” she replied.
Being as cheap as chips, I figured the dress was worth the ‘splurge.’
Brits only message: I see me pulling pints with this on, playing the latest bar woman on East Enders.

    i have to ask, what do you do that you can wear edgy outfits like this to work?

  37. Karen says:

    Anabel – actually they aren’t that bad. I wouldn’t work blocks and blocks and blocks in them but they definitely are more walkable than I feared.

    WorkitBerk – you’d probably know it was F21 upon closer inspection lol!! but for me, it satisfies the fix of a strapless animal print until something more well made comes along (if ever!).

    Elle – See you next month hopefully ; )

    Anon – this was worn on the weekend. Not at work. I have a casual dress code.

    Thanks everyone for the comments. Its a cheap way to get a piece of something a bit fun and sexy.
