Luxe vs. Less: Phillip Lim Yellow Tank


Phillip Lim is clearly the reigning fashion muse to copycats these days, and, as illustrated by the two tops above, the imitators have absolutely no shame whatsoever. On the left, 3.1 Phillip Lim's yellow and black tank top with a petite bow, which retails for £240.00 at the UK shop Browns. On the right, Forever 21's rendition of the look for $22.80. Too close for comfort, if you ask me (although my biggest qualm with this shirt isn't that it's a blatant knockoff - it's that it's too juvenile. I love fashion that hints of youth and naivete, but this top isn't doing it for me). But what do you think? Do you like the look? Has Forever 21 crossed the line on this one, or not?
