Apparently I buy lemons every time we go to the grocery store. Even if I don't need lemons. Even if I already have lemons. I have a lemon issue.
I didn't even know I had a problem. Curtis discovered six lemons in the fridge early Saturday when we were taking inventory of our fridge and pantry- yes, it was exciting as it sounds. So I'm going to make a conscious effort to use some lemons this week. Maybe some lemonade, maybe some fish. Maybe a lemon pie. I doubt it, but you never know. I've got a lot of lemons!
Curtis asked me if I wanted to use them as a prop in these photos, but I thought that may be a little too much ;) This sheer tank is my first purchase from Forever 21, and I am pretty pleased with it. I thought it would be a great summery piece, but I am already looking ahead to layering it with a cardigan and a pencil skirt in the fall and some skinnies and heels when it cools off. This is going to be a very versatile piece.

I love that top! I always have at least 2 lemons in the fridge at all times and I start to freak out if the supply only gets down to one lemon. I may also have a lemon problem.

Omg you are too cute! I love the retro feel of this outfit and that top is summer perfection <3 Lol, you could have worse issues than lemons.
I love that top! Can't believe it's your first F 21 purchase - are you addicted now? I love stopping in there for a cheap new top or jewelry.
Haha, I love that Curtis suggested you pose with the lemons. You should have done it! :D
Super cute top! Something about fruit print that I just can't resist, and yet I don't own anything with fruit print!
The lemon print is too cute! I can't believe that was your F21 purchase. I think 90% of my wardrobe came from F21!

This is so cute, I love the lemon print! You look so summery. Whenever anyone talks about lemons, all I can think about is that scene from the movie, The Breakup (have you seen it?), where Jen Aniston flips out about how she wanted 12 lemons and Vince Vaughn only bought her 3.

What a fun tank! I love the bright colors, and I agree that it will be a great layering piece. Forever 21 has some really cute stuff in their plus size section, but none of the transit accessible stores in Boston carry plus sizes! I get so angry when walking through the 4 story one on Newbury street. Out of four stories they can't give us curvy girls half a floor?
Love your lemon sandals!

I would go crazy if I lived close to a F21 that carried the plus sizes and if I had some money.
Too funny! We always have lemons in the house too because everything tastes a little better with fresh lemon juice! You look adorable in that top! I just love the print!

I have the same lemon fixation-i love them!
and love your tangerine and lemon look, obviously!:p
love, Shubhi's Revels!
Cute! You should try making lemon curd with your 6 lemons. It's super easy and really good on toast. This is the recipe I use (sorry, I can't remember how to embed links...) and it is fantastic.

I am all about the pops of yellow! You really know how to rock the accent colors.

So cute! The print is perfect and those yellow shoes and earrings are wonderful. I'm trying to maintain the shopping ban, so I just stay away from F21 ... too much temptation in one place!
I love this top! It's perfect for the summer! Great outfit :)
Kisses.

I love your style! (and the lemons print XD)
I love cute unusual pieces like the lemon print top!
I love these colors! Such a fun outfit!
You should make lemon bars, mmm! This top is so cute, I love a quirkly print and the pops of yellow with those great earrings, sandals and headband totally bring out the lemons.
Cute top! I saw a woman at Safeway that had the cutest handbag covered in grapefruits. Then I just saw it on Pinterest and it's from Aldo. I LOVE it! Guess citrus is the newest trend for summer.
You should make some lemon curd with all those lemons. It's really easy to make and super tasty. You could use it for scones or even make little tarts with it.
Love the BBQ and theatre outfits too. I would love to see your closet!!
Have a great week, Katie! =)
Oh, and I really want to go to Forever 21. I've seen soo many cute pieces across blogland and I know they're prices are cheap. Must get there soon!
You are the second person to suggest lemon curd. I may just have to give it a shot! If I every have a closet neat enough to show the world, then I'll send you pictures first! ;)
Forever 21 stores are so huge; they are overwhelming to me. I stick to the website!
Yes, I love lemon bars! Yummy! Sometimes I am afraid of getting too matchy-match, so thanks for saying you liked it :)
Thank you! That's the first thing I thought- FUN!
Me too! I like quirky, funky pieces that you can wear and not feel dumb about! I'd probably never do lemon print pants!
thank you Miria!
Thank you, Polly! I think I will get a lot of wear out of it in the weeks to come!
I am trying, but I get bored and my fingers start wandering. INternet shopping is my weakness. :(
Oh, thank you so much! I really worry about being too matchy-matchy, so thanks for that!
Thank you so much for the recipe. Someone else suggested lemon curd too. And I've never had or made it but I love lemon filled donuts so I assume it's similar? Lemon curd it is!
Lemon lovers unite! There's something so fresh and fun about citrus prints:)
I agree! Thank you!
I can't go in a F21- they are too big and bright and filled with loud, tiny girls! I do my looking online ;)
Thank you, Lisa! They were such a good bargain.
I can't believe none of the stores in that big of a city have plus size. That's bullshit! We have a rinky-dinky one story F21 in the local mall and even it has a (very tiny) plus section. That's insulting and ridiculous!
Haha! They don't have a lot of plus stuff in stores, so I've never really paid too much attention to their stuff, but I'll definitely be checking it out from now on!
It's so fun and quirky- at least that's what drew me to it!
I should have. My first thought was that super cute lemon wreath you pinned the other day.
I also bought a bird dress that you are going to love!!
So, so true! And thank you! I definitely felt a little 50s-ish!
I do the same thing with lemons, and also with onions...and apparently jars of peanut butter and spaghetti sauce. I am not sure why I feel the need to constantly stock up. Anyway, I love all the bright colors! This top is great and looks so cute on you!
Cute print!

I use three things for seasoning more than anything else: (1) Lemon juice; (2) Lime juice; (3) Ginger. So... this would not be surprising for me, either. I'm mostly amused that you not only have a penchant for buying lemons but also WEAR them now. (: It's rad.
Make lemon curd, Katie! Or better yet, bake a batch of lemon squares! I'm a fan of lemons myself!!! (As evidenced by my use of exclamation points!) :D

Ooh, I should check out their site! I saw you pinned a lemon curd recipe. If you make some, let me know how it turns out!
what a fun and flirty look for the summer. absolutely love!

Cute cute! I would have never thought about buying a top that bold but you pull it off beautifully as usual!
