Well heres my two cents on "the cheap version"
I like Old Navy, I am they have good stuff and at a good price
American Eagle, Love it, Love it Love it. I love their winter stuff, not so much there spring and summer stuff
Express and the Limited another must haves I mean they aren't super cheap but definetly good clothes and worth the money you spend
I am not sure if anyone has a Forever 21 . But they are awesome, good prices, but the clothes don't really always last that long(odd , ya think, maybe thats why theres no refunds or exchanges,lol)
Or oh Aerospotales is good too, it's like a cross between A&F and American Eagle
