Yesterday began another intimate weekend with my calculus text book. Exam Monday, so calc and I have become very seriously involved.

I have been picky lately about my trips to Forever 21. For various reasons, one I read an article (I can't find on the internet to share...) a few months ago about the fine line that Forever 21 dances on about "stealing" (copying?) designs directly from small designers. If I get sucked into purchasing something from Forever 21, it is because of the price. And yeah, I probably can't afford the original thing from a designer, however, I don't like the idea of ripping off another person's vision and hard work, especially without credit. In the past few months from my trips with friends to the mall, one of three things I have bought is this top, I really love the sheer sleeves. Had to jump on the sheer trend somehow... Sorry to everyone I didn't do just a straight up sheer shirt and give y'all a show ;)

But back to business... Hope you are all having a fun, safe weekend!

Really nice outfit! Good luck on your calculus exam! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your relationship with your calculus book, its so romantic and its totally love. Infact you kinda remind me of my cousin a bit.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that sheer top..infact when I first saw this post I thought...that top is cuutte!!
I read a while ago about f21 they copied some of L.A.M.B products and gwen sued them I think but probably most of their stuff is "inspired" but its so cheap!! I wish to order from there but postage to AU is like anything under $25 is $35 shipping and im not too keen on that!!
Anyway great outfit and love those rings!!!

ooh, good luck on that. i never needed to take calculus so i'm very glad about that. but somehow, i feel like im missing something. i feel like everyone who took it are so much smarter than me. hahaha!!! :))
ReplyDeleteanyway, love the shirt. it's true about forever 21. there are also articles about the horrible working conditions if you're a worker of forever 21. i truly feel bad and want to stop shopping there but i dont really have that much money either to buy expensive clothes. LOL. =/

Love this look. Your take on sheer is nice and tasteful! Just wanted to thank you for the well wishes and also to tell you I was a Maths major in college. I veered away from doing it as a career but I still do it for fun. I love other nerdy girls wearing nice clothes beautifully!

I LOVE that bag, this outfit just looks comfortable in general.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your calc exam! Omg. don't even get me started with forever 21. As a fashion designer myself, it sort of angers me, but at the same time, I can see why they do so well! I mean, heck! Even I still buy from them when my wallet is starting to hate me! haha!

Cute outfit! i love all of your jewelry. And such cute boots =)

very cute!! I love the shoes in particular!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that F21 might copy from others smaller than them, it's usual. Big companies take ideas and "inspiration" from others' creativity, which is not fair! But, yeah, what can we do if they offer nice prices? :-/
I hope you had fun with your Calculus ;)
XOXO
Your bag is amazing, and so are your rings, I NEED now!
ReplyDeleteReally? It's a shame that they copy, I mean yeah, similar is okay, like one thing from the original design, but the whole thing, just bad!
It's like the Westwood pirate boots, that got COMPLETELY copied by, I think, Topshop, you literally couldn't tell the difference! - so unfair!
Anywayz, I LOVE your blog, the header is amaaaazing!
I'd love to follow each other, that would be cool. :)

Awesome love your shorts!
ReplyDeleteGreat look dear!
