Rue 21:

Typically known for its edgy/ hipster style at lower prices, Rue 21 has been a staple in local fashion for a while now. Recently, the well-known community retailer upped the ante by adding a trendy PLUS size line, and it is FLEEEKKKKFUL!!!!

Emulating the best of couture styling, Rue 21 offers a myriad of style favorites. Offering anything from wrap skirts and ripped jeans to bra and panty sets that read popular slogans such as “I slay”.

(Famous lyric from Beyoncé’s formation) All at prices we love! Their recent sale consisted of several lace patterned long sleeve shirts and skirts. Patterned jeans and statement t-shirts all marked down to $3.00 each, and on selected days offering their infamous 40% discount. All of these discounted pieces are less than 1.55 each! That means that you could have taken advantage of 10 pieces of trendy clothing for under 20.00$ can somebody say YASSSSSSS RUE 21!!!

Forever 21:

Not sure if it’s the one of kind yellow hued shopping bag or the world’s most infamous scripture written on the bottom of it,(john 3:16) but Forever 21 is becoming a stand-alone reliability for the best fashion statements in plus size apparel. This fashion “giant” never seems to disappoint as it is becoming more aware of the trends of today, and a silent rival for its competitors (i.e. H&M and Old Navy)

This fall was no different as Forever 21 highlighted 90’s goodness for its plus size fashion lovers. From tasteful sundresses to vintage chokers, Forever 21 changed the game for the more “lux styled” plus fashion consumers.

I too was able to have a “fashionista” experience at Forever 21 this fall. Headed to see the former plus size beauty herself: actress Monique; live, I needed something to make heads turn.

Forever 21 did not dare disappoint. I was able to find a steal on a black dress pant that encompassed two figure flattering splits up the thigh to give an appearance of a sassy; yet elegant gown.

Regularly priced at $24.00, the haute piece was reduced more than 50%f or an unbelievable steal of $8.24!

Talk about balling on a budget!

Moral of the story: 31, 41, and 51 are all the new 21! Get yourself and your wallet down to Forever 21 and Rue 21 today!
