Yesterday I took a break from my regularly scheduled cave dwelling existence and ventured out into the belly of the neon beast that is Forever 21.
It took all of 30 seconds and three steps inside the store before I came face to face with my own personal tribal nightmare.
Which I promptly purchased.
Top: Forever 21 $17.80
Leggings: Forever 21 $10.80
Heels: Nine West
Drink it in, lovelies. This is what REAL WTF looks like.
You may all remember the leggings from a previous post about Tribal Trend Tragedies. The top is a new edition, although well deserving of a tragic title on its own.
Despite being 100% pure “suedette,” the fringe was quite disappointing. It just didn’t flow, didn’t MOVE the way I’d hoped.
So I did that cool model trick when they jump in the air and everything looks fluid and amazing … only I did it SLIGHTLY less gracefully.
Okay, fuck, A LOT less gracefully.
Looks like the Wicked Witch of the Southwest.
Forever 21, WTF?





Rock them southwest leggings, girl. (You’re adorbs, btw.)
FABULOUS!
So many leggings and fringe shirts to wear, so few days in my lifetime.
Thank you, Jenny! I have to admit the leggings are comfy, but not for eyes outside my home.
Whatever made you BUY these items??? Guess we know what RingTheory is wearing for Halloween! ; >
Everytime I wear heels out of the house, I end up on the floor at least once. You.Are.Hilarious! XD
As my favorite drag queens would say…you are bringing some serious WTF REALness up in here!
Madam, I believe you forgot the racially sensitive Chief Necklace.
Do you WANT him to shed a tear?!
Imagine if there was a blog ’bout how fat you are!
And dumb.
spot on.
Not yet. Soon… Stick around for another post about just this thing!
I dnt get how women and men for that matter, wear heels all day. I can barely go a night out before I want them OFF.
Heavens no! But in all honesty, I didn’t want to buy it because I didn’t want to support it. I thunk it’s tacky and in very poor taste.
LMAO you’re hilarious. The upside-down photo took it to the next level!
Imagine! Wouldn’t it be glorious? Nothing but photos of me eating brownies and drinking milk shakes while I watched 16 and Pregnant or just ran around in the California sunshine in a pair of overalls and mismatched shoes, not giving one single shit about anything.
Ah, to be truly fat and dumb. Sounds like the fucking LIFE to me.
I’m all about taking it to the next level, or as I like to call it, just one step too far.
Why would you post such a horrible comment to this site that has hilarious commentary to ugly clothes? Do you have nothing better to do then to
be a total immature asshole or are you jealous that you can’t be as articulate and witty as the owner of this site? May you die and come back as a hideous Forever21 outfit….
I could post a witty reply right now, but I’m too busy loving the hell outta you.
obviously the clothes only suit a certain maximum body shape
Haha please show me someone who this suits. It doesn’t suit ANYONE. I’m sorry, but some things are just not good for wearing. You could put Giselle in that outfit and she would look silly at the least.
Thanks for defending my honor, Laurie. I really appreciate it. It really hurts me when people … Oh look! A PIE!
Seriously though – when you put yourself on the Internet (in tight ass tribal leggings no less) you are bound to get some haters. I am confident in both my body AND my smarts. Most of the time.
Thanks again!
Haha REALness. Love it.
the outfit doesn’t work, but different styling, different top, and the leggings could be fine on someone more…modelesque.
This post contains the leggings on a model. Different styling. Different top. Still think they’re great?

plus size model anyone ?
What are you talking about, Anon? I was on the Chanel runway this morning and Lagerfeld told me not to lose another POUND. Then we ate paper napkins and air together in between cigarettes. Jealous?
Those leggings might be ok with a long sweater tunic in a neutral color, and ballet flats or a pair of boots. That shirt is ugly as fuck and should be set on fire.
Haha! Review your facts ‘model’.
Karl doesn’t smoke.
Why do people read this blog if they have a problem with the content? Professional haters, perhaps?
I legit bust out laughing at the last pic…. needless to say I now have no friends in my cubicle area.
i actually think you pulled it off…better than the model…maybe because you’re rocking it with so much humor…okay i am getting into the whole stupid “ironic” thing, but hey just saying i think you rocked it…
the leggings by themselves are horrifying though…i wouldn’t use them to wash my car…
But he DOES eat tissue paper! Right?
Haha I love this comment. “The pleather and mesh leggings? Decent. The neon top? HOLD the fucking PHONE! “
You’re a comic genius. Anyone who’s not laughing just doesn’t get it. Rock on.
I don’t think you are fat, shit, we’ve all seen fat. those clothes suck on anything though.
Anon needs to suck a HUGE, FAT, TRIBAL penis.
…and perhaps grow a pair for being insecure and hating under the name ‘anon’ because ringtheory fucking rocks.
Anon. Stop giving a shit and jumpsuit already.
I think it’s cute, except those ugly ass nine west shoes, Your just to big to be wearing it . dress your size honey. Stop tryna wear the skinny bitch clothes, and then bash them when it looks a hot ass mess on you.
What?! I’m not rocking this shit out, FashionBoys? I don’t look runway ready? I’m not primed for Vogue magazine? I’m not ready to take on the big city as a plucky upstart and storm the fashion world with my unique look and sexy, sex appeal?
Nah, I think i look pretty dope. I’m going to go with that scenario.
Hmm… i don’t know. you might just check F21 again. I am sure there is something similar there, somewhere in the sale section, most likely.
