Good deals make me excited, and a buy one get one free sale could draw tears from my eye!  If you haven't figured it out now, I'm a bargain hunter who likes to play around with styles and prints. Good deals make me excited, and a buy one get one free sale could draw tears from my eye. So you can only imagine my excitement when I discovered a full outfit at the Forever 21 buy one get one free sale. I tend to avoid graphic tees unless they have a musician on them (if I'm being completely honest). The only graphic tees I wear are covered with Jimi Hendrix, Tupac, and Snoop Dogg. When I saw this graphic sweater at Forever 21, I knew I needed to have it. The words on the sweater drew me to it, Fashionista Advisory: Explicit Style. I felt the shirt would be perfect for a blogger like myself, and the $4.99 price (originally $29.90) was perfect. This sweater may still be available at select Forever 21 Stores. My next find at the Forever 21 sale was a pair of grey boyfriend jeans. At first sight, these jeans looked like they were good quality. They were a higher price ($34.90) which typically equates to better quality in Forever 21. I was wrong. These jeans are cheaply made, poorly stitched and made of the thinnest denim. Shortly, after taking the photo below, this pair of loose fitting jeans ripped leaving an incredibly large hole in the seat area while I was walking. Do not buy these jeans, save your money. I've never purchased a pair of jeans that ripped, and am normally satisfied with a purchase of jeans from Forever 21. If I hadn't gotten this pair of jeans free in the sale (they were also $4.99) I would be completely upset. To accesorize my outfit, I added my extra large fedora hat from Forever 21 for $11.99 (on sale) and my silver hoop earrings. I choose black heeled boots, which were purchased from Charming Charlie's a few years back and my one of a kind black leather feathered purse. I'm a sunglass fiend, and have over 50 pairs of sunglasses that I've collected over the years, a true waste of money if you ask some. For this outfit, I choose my favorite pair, my silver "Ozzy Osborne" style round frame glasses. I've had this pair for years and don't recall where I purchased them, although similar sunnies can be found on Forever21.com. Now that I've ruined the jeans in this picture, I'll have to come up with other outfit ideas for this sweater! I'll be sure to show them off in a later post! - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin

What's the best way to celebrate Valentine's Day early? Ice skating! To stay warm on the ice, I choose to dress in layers. My main layer and standout piece was my black, white and grey faux fur coat that was purchased from Forever21 as a Christmas gift for me. The coat was sold at the store for $54.90. Underneath the jacket I wore a black asymmetrical flowy top, purchased from Burlington for $3.99 and dark grey skinny pants from Forever 21. These pants are super comfy, yet dressy and almost feel like leggings, and were purchased for only $6.99. I decided to limit my accessories, and choose to only wear silver hoop earrings for my jewerly. Hoop earrings are my favorite and can make an outfit incredibly dressy. For my shoes, I choose black heeled boots that were purchased from Charming Charlie's for $10.00 a few years ago. I later regretted wearing these shoes after changing out of my ice skates and realizing how uncomfortable it was to slip on heels after wearing skates. To keep my head and ears warm, I wore my "flapper" hat, that can be purchased on Amazon.com for $4.99. I adore this hat, and have worn it as much as possible this winter. It keeps you warm and is stitched into a cute pattern. The best thing about this hat is that it can be worn year round! I will definitely be ordering more in other colors very soon! Share your Valentine's Day looks with me by adding the #themodlittlemelanin to your pictures! I'll be on the look out! Happy Valentine's Day! The Mod Little Melanin ��  If your Valentine's Day involves casual daytime plans with your love or your girlfriends, here are few ideas! If you're feeling like a boho style is your perfect Valentine's Day look, choose a faux suede fringe skirt in tan as your base boho piece. If you're expecting a warm Valentine's Day weekend, pair the skirt with an off the shoulder black cowl neck top. Accessorize with a large floppy hat, I would select an oversized fedora, a choker necklace and small earrings. Keep the boho look by adding black ankle boots on bottom.  Cowl-Neck Knit Top - $22.90  Fringe Faux Suede Skirt - $27.90 If you're looking for a sweetheart look for your daytime style, select the V-Neck Wide Leg Jumpsuit from Forever 21. To keep the look sweet you can add a faux fur jacket in cream, white or a standout color like blue if you're feeling adventurous. Opt for a leather/pleather jacket to give the jumpsuit an edgier feel. If you own a wide black belt, add it around the smallest part of your waist as an accessory. Large hoop earrings can be added to complete the look. Multiple shoes can be worn with this jumpsuit including heels or boots. I would select heeled boots or a simple ankle boot.  V-Neck Wide-Leg Jumpsuit - $27.90 If you're looking for a super comfy option, choose a maxi dress. The dress k choose is from Forever 21+, and is available in several colors for the affordable price of $15.90. This dress is short sleeve and can be worn year round. Layer this dress in the winter with a sweater, faux fur jacket or leather jacket. Maxi dresses are perfect if you want a fashionable look but don't have a lot of money to spend on clothes. They are completely versitile and can be given a different look by adding a different accessory or jacket. My favorite thing to do with maxi dresses is tie them up at the bottom and add a cute boot or wedged heel. I would style this maxi dress with a black leather jacket, black ankle boots with the dress tied at the bottom. Add tights or leggings underneath for warmth in the winter.
