Because sometimes budgets can be tight, and places like TJMaxx or huge department store sales can be even more hit and miss than Forever21, and that's saying something.
Personally if I find something that I think is appropriate from Forever21 I'll post it with the same disclaimer I usually give: make sure it is long enough once it's on you. My open house dress my first recruitment as an active was from there. If I had a picture I'd post it, but it's knee length with an empire waist and a flowy skirt. It doesn't look like it cost me $30, but it did. And somehow it still looks great (I still wear it to the right events), though I will say most of my items from there don't last very long before they look worn.
All that being said I've never seen anything at Wet Seal that looked appropriate.
