F21 Wish List

Untitled #113

Forever21 can be very dangerous if you don’t work it right.  First of all, how many of you have gone into the store just to “look around” and came out spending $100?  If I had to guess I’d say quite a bit of you. 
Because everything’s really affordable, it’s easy to impulse by something without much thought.  Thank goodness for their new “wishlist” option on their website.  Lately I avoid the actual store at all costs and only look online.  Every time I come across something I save it in my wishlist and I’ll occasionally look back to see what I’ve saved.  More often than not I’ll end up removing 80% of it.  I think this is a really effective way for me to ensure that I buy something I actually want, and not just because it’s cheap. 
The above items are currently in my wishlist and I am resisting the temptation for now.  What do you think — are any a ‘buy immediately’?  Do you guys do the wishlist thing?  I also use it a lot on ASOS.

    Dang, these are such great finds! Loving that black bootie and cozy knit hat! As far as using the wishlist on ASOS – I'm an addict, it's simply the best way to keep (shopping) priorities in line!

    It's amazing that all the stuff on this list is from Forever! I love that patterned dress, it looks so much more expensive than $20! Great finds.

    I actually just bought those perforated booties at DSW a few days ago! They were $50 but with coupons and rewards I only paid $25, otherwise your post would've made me feel like I could've gotten an even better deal! πŸ˜‰ The bottom right booties are tempting..

    LOVE this post – I'm the same way with Forever 21 and almost exclusively shop online and keep things in my cart for 24 hours lol! I did a post about it a few months ago because it really did help curb my spending there and buying pieces that I'll actually keep. I have to say that grid dress is amazing – a definite buy for Fall πŸ™‚

    I am totally with you on the wish list thing. I wish list so much stuff and then when I come back to it I don't want half of it. I try and use forever 21 my shop for trend pieces that I am not too sure of yet. Seems to be doing the trick πŸ™‚

    The shipping costs (i live in australia) usually deter me, if not I would buy all your picks in a heartbeat! Am a big fan of those shoes especially.

    Haha I swear you just described me! I've done so much impulse buying there in the past and have bought some pretty impractical items haha. But yes, I'm so excited they have that new feature! I too tend to keep things saved in my shopping cart (huge fan of that on Asos) and revisit it to narrow things down.
    Adorable picks!! I'm loving those burgundy skinnies.
