Darlings, in the left corner we have J Brand’s ultra-covetable Houlihan Skinny Stretch Cotton Cargo Pants – the very same ones seen decorating the derrieres of Miley Cyrus, Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cindy Crawford, Eva Longoria, Kate Bosworth, Renee Zellweger, Jessica Alba, Rachel Bilson, Khloe Kardashian, Hilary Duff, Rihanna, Ciara, and Gwen Stefani; in the right corner we have dELiAs blissful Brynn Skinny Cargo Pant.While the beautiful Brynn is slightly lighter in shade than the jazzy J Brand’s; for a mere $49.50, as opposed to J Brand’s $231.00 price tag, they harbor many of the same covetable characteristics – side zipper detail at the ankles; cargo pockets – at a price that is oh-so right for the budget fashionista!
Which role are you playing today, kitty cats…the frugal femme fatale or the sassy spendthrift?
Fashionably yours!

I love Delias! I love these because even though they are cargos they aren't bulky and wont make my thighs looks humungo.
ReplyDeleteLove love love this pants' design.
ReplyDeleteGotta get me some! :D
Sarah.
Ooh, I always like Delia's stuff.
ReplyDeleteI feel 15 years too old for Delia's but I def like their version better :)
ReplyDeleteI've decided to put myself on a shopping ban- we'll see how that goes-so in honor of my ban, I'll go thrifty today. But I can't tell you how badly I actually want a pair of something like these...
ReplyDeleteJ Brand all the way!

I'm totally into the Delia's version on this one. For some reason I have a hard time paying over $200 for cargo pants. But it is a trend I'd love to try. The Delia's pant is the perfect price for this trend. Great find, Erika!

i'd absolutely go for the delias ones, they look great!
ReplyDeletedelia's! cool find, i've been slowly decreasing my visits there because most of their designs are semi boring but these look chic!

I'd have to feel both to really make a decision as to which is superior, but I can't imagine that the J Brand pair would feel so good as to warrant that crazy price! Best to go with the cute pair from Delia's.
ReplyDeleteHmm to be honest I like the J Brand pair much more. But great find nonetheless -- they're so much alike! xo

i love both!
ReplyDeleteAlways the spendthrift, always!
ReplyDeleteI love these pants!
ReplyDeleteGreat find, Erika! I love J Brand, but how can you say no to the Delias at a price like that? I love them!
ReplyDeleteI love cargo pants!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think I saw a cargo pants look on Blake Lively/Serena in the season finale of Gossip Girl season 3, and I love it so much!
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for your comment on my blog, I really appreciate it

I've got the jbrands (can you say impulse purchase?? but i had a 20% off coupon + no tax+ no shipping!!)
ReplyDeleteokay anyway, truth is...i love the color on the delia's. that's a major find erika.
xoxo,
carrie
Although they are both pretty similar I like the J brand pair more! Expensive taste I guess! lol
ReplyDeleteLOVE those---totally heading to Delia's tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteOmg the ones from Delia's are SUPER CUTE!! I might actually head over there next week. Wow. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the Delia's. I never thought about that green color before, but it looks really good!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, Delia's FOR SURE. I feel like they're more of a trendy piece than an investment.

I'm not sure I could pull these off, but great job finding the comparison! I don't know how you do it so well.
ReplyDeletelachicmenagerie.blogspot.com
I am definitely thrifty today. I couldn't bear to pay that much for a pair of casual trousers and they look pretty similar anyway.
ReplyDeleteErika, you must have read my mind! LOL I've loved the J Brand version for some time now, but I just can't bring myself to spend $231 on a single pair of pants. I almost fell off my chair when I saw the price tag online haha! This delia's version is awesome! Thanks for the tip:)
ReplyDeleteTheOwlsCloset.blogspot.com
I think I need the J Brand ones to survive. Seriously: they will be PERFECT for the autumn.
ReplyDeleteI love these posts--you always do such a great job finding a really good (non-cheesy) alternative! Hoping you are staying cool and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletexoxo Mary Jo
I have to be honest and say I prefer J Brand's! It's awful I know, I really should be a frugal femme fatale! But great find anyway, I certanily would by Delia's because its pretty similar anyway! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI think I would wear either pair! The muted ones for casual Fridays at work, the brighter hue strolling around the city.
ReplyDeleteGreat find, Erica!! Have an awesome weekend :)
I love the Houlihan but Delias version actually looks pretty amazing -- love the way it looks with the Converse! And under $50?!?
ReplyDeletethey are both so similar. hm... hard call.
ReplyDeleteAhh, I love the J Brand one! I caught a pair like that at Zara's last week but unfortunately never got it. I'd love to add something like that to my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteI still don't think I can really rock the cargo pants look. But the dELiAs pair looks so similar to the J Brand pair. I would definitely save here!
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty much identical - if I were inclined to buy, I'd go for Delia's! I always forget about them (except when I was 12 and Dela's was literally THE coolest thing ever.)
ReplyDeleteGood find!
xoxo, Ashley
I like the delias one too! And I am going to get a pair of skinny cargos for the fall!
ReplyDeleteWow, great find - the Delia's version is almost a perfect copy of the J Brand one! I love the utilitarian look for this fall, and I might just need to get a pair of these pants (either these or a fabulous khaki-colored pair).
ReplyDelete- Halie
I honestly like the delias version more!
