I think the one with the hood probably isn't either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1370174 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 01:36:46 +0000 catgirl 1370174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh love that Vince coat! Did you see this one? Thankfully it isn't lined (for that price?!!) so it's not an option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1370165 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 01:18:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1370165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I like the charcoal hooded coat. For $68 I couldn't come close to making it.</p> <p>I am smitten with this one (Find below) from Vince, online at least, and have been pondering whether I could make one. Maybe I should just buy the F21 version and be done with it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1370035 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 21:35:36 +0000 catgirl 1370035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DonnaF, it wasn't the items so much as the overall looks and styling that I loved - we can both do this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1370033 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 21:33:59 +0000 DonnaF 1370033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I really have to stop following your links; too tempting.&nbsp; I also have to continually remind myself that what looks good on and fits you is almost certainly not going to work for me due to opposite body types.&nbsp; Too bad my DD, built like you, does not share your/our tastes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1370019 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 21:07:34 +0000 Gigi 1370019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bj1111, I live in an apartment building, and we have three dryers in the community laundry. I can help you with your lint collection! Ha ha.</p> <p>Marmee, I so know what you mean. I have started wearing earplugs in my F21. However, that does nothing to fix the stream-of-consciousness organization of items in the store, which drives me nuts. Even the employees have no idea what's in that store.</p> <p>Una, I did get a pair of faux leather leggings when I was there last (a few days ago), for only $13. The fit was really quite good on me, which was a surprise. Usually things are too baggy in the waist and calves, but these fit perfectly. I tried on a few miniskirts too, and the fabric was quite thick, which wasn't what I expected. The thickness of the fabric unfortunately made the skirts too tight for comfort (the skirts were body-con, so they really smashed your legs together), but the thicker fabric did make the skirts feel like they were better quality than the typical F21 item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1369969 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 20:11:10 +0000 jackiec 1369969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spy a plaid coat that is stealing my heart.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1369941 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 19:44:34 +0000 rabbit 1369941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the looks! &nbsp;Although when I tried to follow the links to the pearl gray jacket it is actually a darker gray for sale, hmmm...</p> <p>ha <b>Marmee,</b> I think I actually might be in the minority in the forum in liking the pop music immersion and cheery clutter of items in F21, Old Navy, Torrid and the like. &nbsp;I feel more ill at ease in the super quiet stores with a very few items tastefully displayed on racks. If they make the shopping experience too luxe, I feel I'm probably being overcharged for the items.&nbsp;;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1369853 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 18:10:45 +0000 Marmee 1369853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made myself walk through all three floors of F21 yesterday, but was too overwhelmed to identify anything that would work for me. &nbsp;Maybe if I went with noise cancelling headphones?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1369844 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:57:09 +0000 bj1111 1369844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I'm thinking about collecting dryer lint and spinning my own fiber. I know it'll take me about a decade to make a beanie but I am curiously fascinated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1369840 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:54:33 +0000 catgirl 1369840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We don't have an H&amp;M.&nbsp; I am pretty picky at F21 - I think everything will last a season, although we saw some things that look like they were sewn from dryer lint.&nbsp; And then others in really high quality silk.&nbsp; Confusing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1369839 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:52:49 +0000 bj1111 1369839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una , have you seen any of the HM stuff irl? There are some really cute things in the look book but wonder abt the quality. I want it to last the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/f21-greyscale-lookbook#post-1369833 Sun, 05 Oct 2014 17:46:00 +0000 catgirl 1369833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw some of these items yesterday and remain impressed with some of the quality - seems like they are trying to step up to Zara.&nbsp; The models and poses are much more grown up too.&nbsp; </p> <p><a href="http://www.forever21.com/lookbooks/default.aspx?lookbookname=f21_greyscale" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/lookb....._greyscale</a></p>
