Kitty cats, to the left allow your eyes to take in the loveliness that is J. Crew's Merino Wool-Blend Cardigan; to the right take a gander at Forever 21’s Shawl Sweater Cardigan.Though the fabulous Forever 21 piece lacks the exposed front zipper slantpockets of their haute couture cousin; for a mere $29.90, in comparison to the $135.00 price tag of the ambrosial J. Crew, it provides the same level of chic, cozy comfort at a price that is tailored for the frugalista’s budget!
What’s your stand…will you splurge, or save?
Fashionably yours!

Love the forever 21 one +)
I am strangely drawn to this sweater! I'd get the F21 version. Very cozy looking!
I have to go with the Forever 21 jacket,only because they are so simaler!
Love the f21 one! You have such a good eye!
F21 FTW!!
Love cardigans in the winter months. I'll save, and take a few please :)
I think I may have to go for the F21 version because it looks more casual.
I am actually going to Forever 21 today so I am hoping I am going to find this or something similar because I love these kind of cardigans so much!
Wow! I admire how you find these cheaper alternatives, I wouldn't be able.
Btw, thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, I really appreciate it

I'd go for Forever 21. Tis the season to have a variety of sweaters for all sorts of occasions and situations.
So HAPPY F21 has this!
Forever 21, because it has a longer fit=)
Awesome sweater <3
Great find! I even prefer how the forever 21 model is wearing hers! Happy Sunday!
Love the f21! Very affordable!
I would also appreciate if you could vote for a good cause?

F21 - and I love it with that dress..
Oh I love the forever 21 one! It is long and makes a great statement!
I am a total J. Crew addict ... am going to have to splurge on this one!

Honestly? Can't tell the diff. Amazing, Erika!

love the look of this! i think i'd go for j.crew just because im a sucker for merino wool!
oh. easy. forever 21. because it's longer and a lot cheaper.
hope you're having a good weekend
take care
xx
i'd save and get the f21 one, it looks so cozy!
great finds - but im in love with the F21 one!!
Gorgeous sweater. I like a steal, but unfortunately I cannot pass up a great J. Crew sweater.
Both of these are nice, but maybe just because of the way it's styled, I prefer the look of the Forever 21. Wow, never thought I'd prefer Forever 21 over something else!

I like the J Crew one better so I think I would wait for it to go on sale ;)
Forever 21 really has such great items....nice find again!! Have a great week!!
Thank Goodness for Forever 21!
Both are totally cute! But in all honesty, I would actually consider shelling out for the J Crew one because I love the ribbing along the bottom. I think it gives a more defined shape than the Forever 21 sweater. Great find, though!!

Amazing find! It's so similar to the J. Crew version, you can hardly tell the difference!
xx
I love both of them. They look so cozy! I'm definitely gonna save and go with the Forever 21 version though! :)
Great F21 find - it's a chic style at the always lovely F21 price!
Oh gosh. I'm so glad that neither option has a little tie belt. The dusters of the late 90s and early 2000s need to stay dead.
Love these! They look so comfortable. The Forever21 one is so pretty.
Erika I saw the sweater at Target that you were talking about the other day, so cute! I actually bought a gray pullover one from the same collection and think they are great to knock about in. I will say that J Crew cashmere is wonderful and if you can get it on sale it is worth the price!

Sometimes cheap is cheap! I would have to feel the difference before I thought about buying the cheaper one!
Forever 21 hun, luv it! Hope you had a lovely wknd xx
I love them both. So stylish!
Ƹ̵̡Óś̵̨̄Ć·
Have to say I do like the Forever 21 one...however...lol I already own the J Crew one and I love it! oopps
Cheers to Forever 21 all the way!!!

Oh I love both of these! I think I would go for the F21 item, since they look so similar.
Aaack I am so full of WANT. Sadly, the only F21 store in my country is an hour's plane ride away :(
