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!

ReplyDeleteI am strangely drawn to this sweater! I'd get the F21 version. Very cozy looking!
ReplyDeleteI have to go with the Forever 21 jacket,only because they are so simaler!
ReplyDeleteLove the f21 one! You have such a good eye!
ReplyDeleteF21 FTW!!
ReplyDeleteLove cardigans in the winter months. I'll save, and take a few please :)
ReplyDeleteI think I may have to go for the F21 version because it looks more casual.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteWow! I admire how you find these cheaper alternatives, I wouldn't be able.
ReplyDeleteBtw, thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, I really appreciate it

F21 one looks fab!

I like the J. Crew sweater. However, they both look great!!

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

Honestly? Can't tell the diff. Amazing, Erika!
ReplyDeletewhat a great deal! i'd definatley get the forever21 version! =)
ReplyDeletehttp://pinkchampagnefashion.blogspot.com/
love the look of this! i think i'd go for j.crew just because im a sucker for merino wool!
ReplyDeleteoh. easy. forever 21. because it's longer and a lot cheaper.
ReplyDeletehope you're having a good weekend
take care
xx
i'd save and get the f21 one, it looks so cozy!
ReplyDeletegreat finds - but im in love with the F21 one!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sweater. I like a steal, but unfortunately I cannot pass up a great J. Crew sweater.
ReplyDeleteBoth 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 ;)
ReplyDeleteForever 21 really has such great items....nice find again!! Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteThank Goodness for Forever 21!
ReplyDeleteBoth 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!!
ReplyDeletebeautyonthebrain.blogspot.com
Amazing find! It's so similar to the J. Crew version, you can hardly tell the difference!
ReplyDeletexx
I love both of them. They look so cozy! I'm definitely gonna save and go with the Forever 21 version though! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat F21 find - it's a chic style at the always lovely F21 price!
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteLove these! They look so comfortable. The Forever21 one is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteErika 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!
ReplyDeletexo Mary Jo
Sometimes cheap is cheap! I would have to feel the difference before I thought about buying the cheaper one!
ReplyDeleteForever 21 hun, luv it! Hope you had a lovely wknd xx
ReplyDeleteI love them both. So stylish!
ReplyDeleteƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Have to say I do like the Forever 21 one...however...lol I already own the J Crew one and I love it! oopps
ReplyDeleteCheers 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.
ReplyDeleteAaack I am so full of WANT. Sadly, the only F21 store in my country is an hour's plane ride away :(
