I think I am sort of over it (but, not really!). Anyways enough of my random-ness.
When I looked through the Preen Resort 2011 collection the other day, I didn't think anything of it, other than it is a minimal and well structured collection. However, browsing through the ASOS website this morning, I noticed something. Because the Preen collection is fairly minimal (actually very), there are bound to be some decent copies. I found...well I think I found (I'll let you be the judge of that) some pieces which match the Preen collection in some way.
So, Preen on a budget?! Sure, why not! (Well in my current non-working position, some of the ASOS stuff is looking pricey!).
Preen vs French Connection sold on ASOS.com at £75.
Preen vs ASOS at £55.
Preen vs Reiss shorts sold on ASOS.com at £89.
Preen vs Firetrap sold by ASOS.com at £75.
Preen vs Selected Femme Trousers at £135. Sold on ASOS.com
Preen vs Selected Femme lace cami at £80. Sold on ASOS.com
Now, I'm not saying they are carbon copies, but they are similar. What do you think?
Oh ya, just want to say I have been blogging for around a month now, and I want to thank everyone for all their comments and for following. I really, really appreciate it! Okay, enough of the cheese factor.

I LOVE your blog Sarah, and I can't believe that you only blogged for almost a month, you definitely write like a veteran, btw, i think asos is quite 'forward' in bringing the catwalk looks, thanks for this post, cos honestly, i'd rather save than splurge, much love, xoxo
Very nice comparison and thanks for ur comment!

You've got a great blog. It's hard to believe you've only been doing this for a month. I enjoyed this post.
I think the stuff is really similar, although I do still like the Preen stuff more, perhaps it's just the way it is styled.

Oh wow great pieces! They are nice and similar and all so pretty! :D
YAYY for blogging for a month!

They're similar but great! I agree about sisters copying the same things. Actually I got this co worker that copies everythign I do to the way I style my hair, it drives me CRAZY!!
woah great bargains !
it drives me crazy when friends/family copy ! i used to have one friend who follows every one of my things (from hair to clothes) it drives me NUTSS..
i dont think preen will be pleased :/
I think your picks are great! I think I was your fourth or fifth follower when you started blogging a month ago and now you have 60! Congrats : )
Awww, thank you all!SD:)
nice comparison I love the long black dress the most!!
BTW thanks for having stopped by my blog! :)
Totally agree with you, why not? I choose the most affordable one!
LOVE ALL OF THEM

you've only been blogging for a month?! HOLY CRAP! i never would've known, great work sweetie!!!
Thank you so much. Love your blog. I follow you sweety. :-*
it's such a tough subject... there's so much copying in the fashion world! i think as long as a few tweaks are made they can't be sued... but it's still not fair!
Thanks for following me :)
I follow you back now.
Hmmm . . . they do look quite similar, but if theyare going to save a girl some money, that's a good thing!

both preen and asos have awesome collections. This blog is really something special, you always have interesting posts :)

In some cases I liked your find even better than the Preen.
Great eye, and the more affordable, the more fashionable in my book!
yeah sisters copy best friends copy, designers copy! It's hard to get away from copying great taste! I guess you've got it doll! xoxo
Umm I wouldn't say it's intentionally copied, even though they're similar... Congrats on your great month blogging (:

Very good choices!

Is it weird that I like some of the inexpensive looks better than the runway ones?

Genius! I love that white Firetrap dress!
Nice comparisons! I am definitely living on a budget!! It is nice to have lots of people visit especially when you're a new blogger. I feel the same way :)
They say imitation is the best form of flattery; but I'll have to admit, I do get annoyed about it at times too ...
Love your alternatives to the Preen collection!
Hey I removed my comment because there appears to be a problem with the website I linked to. I am sorry about that.
Thanks for compiling this! Bargains are good sometimes too ;)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Do come more often ;)
