My new favorite hobby is finding J. Crew look-a-likes at Forever 21, and I was thrilled to discover these shirts since I find myself gravitating towards button-ups more and more lately. They are so versatile, perfect for layering, and a great way to spice up your wardrobe.
1. Heart Throb (Forever 21 version): I fell in love (no pun intended) with the heart throb print at J. Crew last year, especially the skirt (below), but it never went on sale enough for me to purchase it. I wasn't convinced of how versatile it would be either, but it sure is cute! The Forever 21 version of the heart throb top is the perfect way to get your heart fix and not feel bad when the trend passes.

2. and 4. Gingham (Forever 21 version 1) (Forever 21 version 2): Gingham has been everywhere lately. My absolute favorite styling (below) is J. Crew's lovely pairing with a ruffle cardi and pearls. I do have the first Forever 21 version (which is available in navy and aqua), and it's great. It fits well (although I always do go up one size in Forever 21) and seems durable enough. Plus it was about 75% cheaper than the J. Crew version... and yes, I've worn this shirt about 15 times in the last month (evidence here and here).

3. Polka dot (Forever 21 version) : J. Crew's polka dot popover is serious perfection. I have the Factory version of the popover (available here) which is not too pricey if you wait for one of their regular sales, but the Forever 21 version looks very similar. This is the perfect top for colored jeans, pencil skirts, and layering under just about anything.
I love these finds! Chambray is so curt and goes with anything!
