Forever 21 Abstract Print Jumpsuit


Morning Darlings!

I found this adorable romper yesterday when I was out with my daughter and loved it I could had just made one but instead of having to draft a pattern or meld two commercial patterns together I just bought it, lol sometimes I am lazy y'all but first a short note to F21

Dear Forever 21

Please do us both a favor and allow me to properly style the models you use for your online presence so that women above thirty, like myself, can see that you have more to offer than the perceived "teeny bopper" look. The styled look for this jumpsuit on your site is less than desirable and I would have never purchased based on that photo, I'm just saying! xoxo -mimi g.

My nail color is "Mojito Madness" by Essie ;-)

    You look so cute in that jumpsuit. Adore the print, look forward to seeing a few more lol. Clicked into the link, OMG that styling is bad and I don't even follow style but that looks bad by anyones standards.

    I totally agree. I'm an "over 30" year old who shops at F21 all the time but most people my age think I'm crazy because they think everything is tween wear.

    I just brought this jumpsuit too!! Haven't wore it yet, love how you styled it. Yes, I agree...whoever is doing the styling on their website needs to be fired. I would love if they gave that job to you Mimi.

    You are so right about the F21 pic. It doesn't even look like the same jumpsuit that you're wearing.

    1. I love this romper on you, but you look great in everything!
    2. Please tell us where you bought your bangles.
    3. Where do I sign the petition to get you hired on at F21?

    I just want to say thank you. I learned to sew when I was six and have always been passionate about it, however, I allowed life to distract me from it. You are such an amazing example of someone who balances family, career, and life very well. You are also very relatable, which makes a world of difference. You show people they are just as capable to do whatever they put their mind to! Thanks again, you are changing people's lives everyday :)

    Yasss! Thank you for that note to forever21! Seriously they need a wake up call because I would've never purchased the jumpsuit AT ALL. You make it look FAB!

    It is cray how cute you look in that getup! I love the note to F21 because I'm often thinking the same as I stand idle in the store while my 14 shops around. However, last trip there I noticed a lot of women *cough* my age riffling through the racks. Your outfits featuring F21 stuff is giving me LIFE! Loving that latest Essie collection color and had to talk myself out of buying yet another green polish when I saw it. Darn your pics for making it pop amidst all the blue! Until we read again...

    I agree, I'm a 30 something woman and I would not have purchased that romper going strictly by the pic on F21's site. it was hideous on that girl. but you're wearing that romper girl!!

    I saw this romper online some days ago, and I agree--the styling does nothing for it. Plus, your pics make the color look a lot more vibrant. Now, I may be tempted to buy it. lol

    The styling on the website is horrendous! I was just telling my husband yesterday that you single handedly have increased their sales because half of the stuff you get there people wouldn't take a second look at until they see how you add the fab factor. Looks cute on you by the way.

    This jumpsuit is cute. I think you're right about the styling thing it makes the clothes look frumpy.

    I agree with you about Forever21. That's horrible styling, the model looks totally blah and she has Buster Brown BROGANS on her feet! WTH?

    The romper is so totally cute on you!

    Agree. I never like anything on their website becuase everything is like mini mini, short short, but when I go to the store I buy everything (I only have one store around here and very far so I go like a couple times a year)

    Mimi You are so Right!!!!!! I wish F21 would hurry up and give you a contract to model their apparel. So should Vogue for that matter. LOL!!! You bring life to just about all the clothing that you model. If it wasn't for your style and class with these outfits, I wouldn't be interested. LOL!!!!!

    That romper looks so sophisticated and vibrant on you! I agree with many others here, the picture on the F21 site does nothing for this getup. It seems like all the colors on the site look muted. I also love your necklace. Can you tell us about that piece as well?

    Your comment about the styling of this romper on F21 cracked me up so I just had to take a look to see what you meant and yes.... I totally get what you mean.

    You styled this romper beautifully, I love all of your accessories, especially the mustache ring!

    Well it seems Forever 21 probably read your post about the same time I did, because now their site is saying they're experiencing minor difficulties so I can't get on... :P

    Fabulous!! you definitely made that jumpsuit work. And its so true, you should definitely style the forever 21 models, because the way you wore that outfit, makes it look mature, feminne and totally something i wouldn't mind wearing :D

    Oh Mimi, you couldn't be more right! They're models and styling are so...blah! You should do a side by side of you and their model! You'd be the Us Weekly pick for sure!

    I saw this jumpsuit on the Forever 21 website and wasn't interested in it until I looked at your blog this morning! It looks like a totally different jumpsuit on the website and does not look cute AT ALL! There are so many things on their site that may actually be cute if they were styled better! I ordered mine a few minutes ago! Thanks so much for posting pics : ) BTW, what size is your jumpsuit?

    You are sooooo right. I would have never bought this based off of F21's pic. I had to double back just to make sure you didn't post a similar style. You look great in this suit!
