I witnessed an F21 that was actually not a disaster zone.

Jealous? The racks were organized, the lines for the dressing rooms were predicably long, and the staff was actually fairly helpful. I went to the opening day of a huge-ass Forever 21 in Seattle – two floors, with menswear and tons of, well, F21 stuff. That means – some good, some bad, and the majority designed for pre-pubescents. Didn’t stop me from shopping and picking up a vest or two. It took me a long time to not have flashbacks to 7th grade and bodysuits, but I finally feel like I can wear vests. Not just sweatervests – I have had those floating around forever – but the menswear-style vests. I feel like I can put one of those over any other top – plain tee, oxford, tube top – and be ready for work. As for bodysuits… I know that leotards almost had their day in the sun, but if I ever wear snaps near my crotch again, I’m giving up on fashion.
