It's cute, practical and really easy on the wallet. But overall, I like it more regardless of what brand it is. By the way, I've got an awesome watch to give away over at my blog.

The E&J version is absolutely beautiful, and to be honest I don't see much of a real similarity in the F21 one. You may want to check out this version from Bardot http://www.bardot.com.au/store/online-shopping?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage-ask.tpl&product_id=1176&category_id=25 Pretty similar, huh?!

F21 does rip off other designers and all their stuff is made in places that I'm pretty sure the employees aren't working under the best conditions. But $250 is expensive. Maybe just think about how much you really want it. The E&J version is cute. Tough call.

F21 made a complete copy of every single item in their line and I am sure that Trovata is not the first and will not be the last knock-offed line. I would rather pass the chaotic store with clothes strewn everywhere and non-helpful sales associates and go full-price. At least I am giving the creative persons their due and not paying for ripping off someone's ideas. http://www.wwd.com/retail-news/forever-21-co-founder-defends-retailer-in-trial-2141195 I’m all for cheap clothes, and the skirt is really cute, but after reading today’s article in WWD about F21 completely knocking off Trovata’s line, I was disgusted.

Yes, the E&J skirt is far superior looking, but you can still get the same vibe/look with the cheaper option. So did you get the Forever 21 skirt?!

I mean, you can't reeeaally replace an Elizabeth and James piece, but the F21 skirt is such an ideal substitute. and I agree with some of the previous posters saying it looks like it'll be more flattering. Can't turn that down, right? (: Save!!
