double take: forever 21

Who knew?

We have this lovely cashmere Vince sweater from last fall's collection priced at $275. The Forever 21 version, albeit somewhat less luxurious though complete with safety pin, is available this fall for a whopping $32.80.


Next we have the Splendid V-Neck Empire Waisted Dress that I coveted for months last winter, fully knowing that the dress would not complement my body type. Forever 21 has an eerily similar version available now at $22.80. (Tie at the back not pictured.)


The moral of the story can be construed two different ways: wait a little while and get designer designs for less the following year, or don't shop at Forever 21 unless you want to be wearing last season's clothing.
