Look for Less: Marc by Marc Jacobs Denim Trim Tunic

Not all knock-offs can be winners, and this sad mustard tunic with jumbo buttons and denim trim from Forever 21 is a sore loser indeed. The MARC tunic works because of the length and the smart juxtaposition of bright and subdued hues, as well as the touch-worthy materials (cotton/rayon/cashmere). The imitation, on the other hand, falls flat in every regard. Maybe next time...

You're developing an eye for knockoffs! I wonder if that has a name..."fake-dar"? Hmmmm

Horrid!! Forever21 needs to stop the madness!! There is difference between doing an "inspired" design and then just straight up ripping a Designer off button for button and stitch for stitch. I love Marc Jacobs and that is just so foul. Marc looks so good by the way since lost the weight, got all buffed.
