Thrifty Thursday: Autumn Cashmere Ribbed Draped Cardigan for Less

My loves, to your left you will find Autumn Cashmere’s utterly ambrosial Ribbed Draped Cardigan; to the right, let your pretty peepers take in the sight that is Mossimo Black’s ravishing Rib Open Cardigan Sweater.

Though the Mossimo Black marvel lacks the cashmere construction of the Autumn Cashmere piece, instead finding itself crafted out of 100% acrylic; for just $27.99, in comparison to the $264.00 asking price of the original, it is an oh-so cozy way of adding a new knit to your wardrobe – at a price that won’t make you forsake your beloved daily trips to Starbucks!

Will Autumn Cashmere tempt you into being a big spender, or will Mossimo Black inspire you to save?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Neiman Marcus and Target for the pictures.

  8. I always opt for the cheaper version, especially from Target, I adore that store! I've been so busy saving for grad school, it's the only choice I have... last week though, I finally got a new pear of over the knee black boots from Target, on sale for $25! Gotta love it! <3

  14. Oooh I love both! Next time I am in Target I will make sure to find this sweater :D

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'd go for target. I love cashmere against bare skin, but since I'd have to wear a top underneath because of the open front, it's not necessary.

  22. Ohhh another amazing find!! Though the look is identical, I would splurge on cashmere because the feel of cashmere is sooo worth it.
