Déjà Vu, Part II Saturday, June 07, 2008 1:14 AM

Several months ago, there was a skirt I was madly in love with from H&M. It was plaid and had the most interesting pocket detailing. However, it was unlined and so I bought its fully lined sister skirt, which had the same shape and pocket design, but came in a different colour and pattern.

Now Forever 21 is offering the same H&M plaid skirt. The pockets and the print are exactly the same. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the H&M skirt for comparison, but you can see the lovely Miss Woo rocking the H&M version here and here.

This is the second time I've noticed a H&M piece making its way to the racks of Forever 21. Is Forever 21 making H&M knock-offs? Or is this a mere coincidence -- I wouldn't be surprised if they use the same factories in China/India/Turkey/etc to produce their garments.

Silk dress: Lux. Pink opaque tights: H&M. Ivory sheer patterned tights: H&M. Peeptoe wedges: Natural Comfort.

Believe it or not, this entire outfit costs less then $50. Thank goodness for amazing sales. I accidently ripped the sheer tights while putting them on, but most skirts and dresses cover the hole so hopefully I'll be able to sneak in a couple more wears before throwing them out. The pink tights are more of a flamingo pink then in the above photos.

I have a few more backdated outfit photos to post. Those will be coming soon.

True Colors

While flipping through the premiere issue of Z!nk Canada (which I finally picked up two months after its release), I kept going back to the editorial, True Colors, shoot by Annabelle Tiaffay. I love the colours and I love the quirky styling that Stéphanie Vaillant provided.
