As you know, I love a good deal. Cheapo/discount stores for what my mom likes to call “junk jewelery” are fun to peruse.   F21 is a mecca, IMHO, for finding bling on a budget but rarely do I find any clothes that I fit into.  I have found a few fun tops (here, here and here) but I have never found a pair of pants or a skirt and defiantly not a dress that I fit into (at my current size or thinner).  If I do get a garment to fit my hips is usually SHORT.  I like my ass cheeks to be covered and I don’t like to look like I’m waiting for the next flood.    

This is why I was shocked, SHOCKED!  when I saw this dress at F21.  On the rack it looked like it was actually wearable by humans taller than 5″ and older than 16 years old.   I have been fooled before so I went and tried it on…WINNER WINNER Chicken Dinner!  It fit…and wasn’t awfully short and it was 22 bucks and I had a $25 giftcard that I have had for a while.

The dress actually has capped selves and an exposed zipper in the back.  I keep thinking spring and red sandals. I only have to get through winter first.

    Yes, a great deal !
    I am glad to hear I am not the only one who thinks F21 is making clothes for who knows who ?!!
    Because its like they are saving on fabric because everything is so tiny and skirt lengths barely permit you to bed over… without throwing on a show.

    LOL @ Susan.

    Lorena- I know. I usually walk in and walk out of the clothing areas.
