Dolls, on the left we have Ella Moss’ jaw-droppingly beautiful Johanna Dress; to the right feast your eyes upon Forever 21’s alluring Ruffle Trim Tunic with Belt.Though the Forever 21 piece is constructed entirely out of cotton, and features an 8-button placket as opposed to the 9-buttons of the Moss marvel; for just $13.50, in comparison to the $166.00 price tag of the elegant Ella, it is every bit as capable of wowing your wardrobe from winter through spring, summer, and fall – therefore buying it in both colors (black and white) is an absolute must for the frugalista!
Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Ella Moss, or be thrifty and spring for Forever 21?
Fashionably yours!

I just love the bow on the forever 21 dress. I just spent 100 bucks at that store. Who does that? And I'm still wanting to go back for more!
ReplyDeleteI love Ella Moss!

Love the Forever 21 overall look, including the hat!
ReplyDeleteI'm a firm believer in the idea that a girl can never have too many white shirts/blouses/tunics. These are identical! And as fast as I ruin white tops, I'd definitely go for the Forever 21 version. Great find, Erika!

ReplyDeleteSuch a great deal - F21 for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of shirt dress, sexy, simple and to the point...
ReplyDeleteAs much as I like Forever 21, I think the Ella Moss version is better! I'm a big spender this week! lol

ReplyDeleteunfortunately, i can't find forever 21 in my country :( buut with a lil' bit of luck, next summer i'm heading to New York ! :D

I also love these kind of ruffled tunics, they remind me of Blair Waldorf.
I adore this ruffle tunic. I swear you're going to make me storm my local Forever 21 if you continue posting all these great pieces from their store.
ReplyDeleteamazing! Don't need to spend the big bucks to look like your outfit is expensive! :) thanks for sharing!

forever 21 is amazing. and i LOVE that they r so simialr and yet the price is so different!
ReplyDeleteSoo cute. They both look so much alike, I'd go for the cheaper one in this case! xo
ReplyDeleteOoh, I've been trying to resist a trip to Forever 21 lately! Gotta love those designer renditions.
ReplyDeleteThrift all the way! Love the pick :)
ReplyDeleteLove anything from Forever 21 hahaha so of course I go with that :)
ReplyDeleteEverybody needs a piece like this in their wardrobe..and Forever 21 is a great place to get it.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather the real deal on this one! but the forever 21 version comes close :)
ReplyDeletexoxo
I love the two dresses but i think F21 is really cool!plus its not expensive.
ReplyDeleteTake care Erica dear!

Ella Moss! I love F21 but the quality isn't great and my expensive white button-ups are SO worth the money. I believe this would be as well and would last you for awhile.
ReplyDeleteYou picked a great one! The F21 is super cute and I am always worried about the length on f21 dresses, but they look the same! :):)
ReplyDeleteI love the Ella Moss dress! And I agree with ellie above-everyone should have one of these. :)
ReplyDeletenaina
I simply adore everything Ella Moss and this is no exception! If I had my way about it my entire wardrobe would be Ella Moss. Well, with a Rick Owens jacket thrown in... and possibly a few long DVF dresses. But you know what I mean! ;)
ReplyDeletelove Ella Moss but have to admit the one from Forever 21 is a great alternative!
ReplyDeleteForever 21 always comes through for me.
ReplyDeleteVery fashionable outfits:)

i like ella moss b/c she is one of my fav designers..... : )
ReplyDeleteForever 21 has my heart here!
ReplyDeleteI just love this cotton woven. It definitely works for every season and there are so many different ways of wearing it. Forever 21 has a great piece for such an inexpensive price. I think I even like the Forever version more because of the ruffle detailing. I know Guess launched a similar piece in their 2010 fall collection, and I’ve seen Leighton Meester and Kourtney Kardashian sporting them these cute shirt length dresses as well. I still just can’t steer away from the Forever 21 version. At that price I can afford to buy it in both colors.
