Our college-aged nieces are obsessed with obsession...as in "...I'm so obsessed with..."


And we thought about that at our first Forever 21 experience-at-a media preview-of the trend-on fashion label ---that we feel, we are one of the few people in our female caldera of Google+ circles-who have never been to the mass market chainstore. That of course-our nieces are OBSESSED WITH.


HIGHLIGHTS:


Plenty----for the Boho-chic, Rebel Yell Rocker chick, classic but modern, frilly feminine-girly, career gal needs an evening wardrobe without a change of clothes---etc.


The various versatile looks --- all strike our fancy-depending on the mood or occasion.


And as we noted in a chat with other attendees---at bargain prices where maybe-the top priced item-a leather jacket---will cost maybe $39.00.


Models/waitresses-wearing the Spring 2012 separates----


Versatile ----this coral pink blazer-can be dressed up or down (with jeans)--has nice lining-rolled up sleeves can show off an armful of bangles that stylists like to scoop up at Forever 21






 


Gentle draping-in bold and pale pink-a terrific example of dresses that can go from the office to a cocktail party with a switch of heels and jewelry

Another blazer-with black satin hem at the cuffs---could wear this just as easily with a fancy frock, tuxedo pants, denim ---or cropped pants like this pr gal did.





Japanese delicate-Asian prints=lovely -The Tea Room




Lady in red-exotic bohemian chiffon-we were surprised how well made this burn-out fabric was made and felt 












Asian inspired prints ---on a silky dress/tunic-belt it and wear with heels-or wear loose with piles of gold chains




Oversized metal cuffs-with stones are always best sellers




















Booties

Top piece-this soft leather vest-diagonal bold zips, studded epaulets
