AMAZINGGGG!! I love the red lip color! The Sweater vest looks great! I am not a F21 fan but this looks cute and I might have to go try it on!

The vest looks so cozy and posh!:D

I think the shade is perfect on you, a sweet kind of red. Not too bold or harsh.:D

this is definitely one of my favorite outfits from you~ The sweater is adorable but the chain belt just finishes the look perfectly. So digging the red lipstick, it looks great on you :)

Oh Jen, you look so darling!!! I'm really loving the edge that the belt brings to the outfit. It's cozy, sophisticated but ROCKIN' all at once. The red lippy is mad hot!

LOVE THIS LOOK!! The sweater is perfection with its ruffles and that belt is amazing! The lipstick/lip pencil looks great on you. I do that too..sometimes the pencils are better suited to me. The first pic is very pretty!

A very regal outfit. That vest looks super expensive and I'm SHOCKED that it's from Forever 21. I'm going to a mall tomorrow and I'll FOR SURE drop by at F21 to find that amazing piece.

Red lips suit you perfectly. You're such a classic beauty. I wish I could look as gorgeous as you with just a red lipstick and winged eyeliner :)

Your photos are just getting AMAZING! Fall is the best season for outdoor photos. The colors behind you blurred together are just stunning and really emphasize your outfit.

lovely outfit

by Phuong on November 8, 2010 at 7:38 PM. #

First thing that came in my mind was, that's the most fabulous looking ruffles!

Two, I gotta ask about that lipstick. I've been trying to find a perfect shade of red and till now, I still haven't.

You're more fab than the ruffles you are wearing of course!

besos,

ML

Sweet Jen, you always look so incredibly polished. You make inexpensive items look like a fortune, and you have a smile that lights up the room. :)

That ruffley vest is great. I've done so well and haven't shopped in F21 for a while. Come to think of it, I haven't really done much shopping, maybe just a couple tops and bottoms (from AA & Nordies) during my Oahu trip, but nothing that really put a dent into the pocket book. :) I think I've lost my desire to shop.. ahahahah! Well, not really. I've just got a lot of other things on my mind. :)

xx Love & Aloha

I like the sweater dress and how you put the belt around it, it looks so chic and comfy!

The ruffle vest is really cute and cozy, and I love the big chain link belt you used to belt it. The shade of red lipstick really suits you too. It's amazing when you find THE red that really works for you, isn't it? :)

by lisa on November 9, 2010 at 4:09 PM. #

Red lips are totally your thing! I love the ruffle vest and how you belted it (with a chain link? Genius!) You have gorgeous photos, who takes your picture?
