Lovers, on the left we have Trina Turk’s mesmerizing Marl Cardigan in Ecru; to the right you will find Remain’s Naomi Waffle Knit Cardigan in Oatmeal Heather.While the Remain piece is a slightly darker shade than the tantalizing Turk version; for just $39.90, as opposed to the $198.00 required to take Marl home, it is just as much of a fall staple as its higher priced counterpart, and leaves enough cash left over to allow the frugal fashionista to take home all three fabulous fall shades (army green, charcoal heather, and oatmeal heather)!
Are you having a tightwad moment darlings, or are you plagued with a craving to splurge?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to Piperlime and Nordstrom for the pictures.

I love layering, especially in New England winters. So I'll take a couple of the Remains, please :)
ReplyDeleteI actually like the Remain one better.
ReplyDeleteI like the darker one better!! Yeahh for really good looking knock offs! =)
ReplyDeleteI love the Remain version of the sweater. It looks slightly more comfortable. I hope you're having a good morning.
ReplyDeleteThe Remain piece is just perfect! I always find that I go the cheaper route on clothes to splurge on the shoes and accessories :)
ReplyDeleteI like them both! At an in-between price point, there's a similar one on Shopbop called MINKPINK Cocoon Shawl cardi for $72!
ReplyDeleteYa know... I actually like the darker color! I guess I'm going tightwad today :)
ReplyDeleteI would probably decide based on material. If both were wool, I"d go for Remain, but if only the Turk one was (and the Remain was acrylic etc.), I'd probably splurge since knits are such an investment. But thankfully I already have something in this style (except in gray), so I guess I'm sorted!
ReplyDeleteI love the darker one! gorgeous cardi! xo
ReplyDeleteThis is so "I'm off to rehearsal" material. Paired with a high bun and skinny jeans I would be set!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll be a tight wad :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love chunky knits right now. Tightwad this time; it's so chic!

Love it!! <3
ReplyDeleteThe Trina Turk is great, but I think I'd go with the less expensive version because I love the sleeves. Both are great though.

Def the cheaper- this look so cozy!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I love sweaters like this. And I'll go tightwad on it, because my cats have the tendency to pull loops out with their nails.

ReplyDeleteI'd go for the cheaper because you might want them in different colors, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the Remain. What a great price!
ReplyDeleteOooooh very chic and cozy find, darling!

Just read the interview you did with Dancing Branflakes. Great answers.
ReplyDeleteA. I really like the Remain.
ReplyDeleteB. THANKYOU for the boot advice. I'm totally looking for something like the Ralph Lauren's. Maybe a little more mountainy, but not too much. I feel so much closer. You are the BEST!
C. LOVED your interview at Dancing Branflakes!!

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty sweater! Nordstrom always has high quality.
ReplyDeleteI definitely like Remain best because of the colour.
ReplyDeletei'm gonna have to be a tight wad since the holiday season is coming up! gotta save for xmas gifts!!
ReplyDeleteAww so pretty! I wonder where I can buy these in my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteAnywaaaay, I think I'd go cheap. The color looks beautiful. :)
That looks like the most comfortable sweater in the world. I seriously want to sleep in it. Give me the cheaper version please, I'm sure it is just as cozy.
ReplyDeleteGreat fashion swap! The remain one is super cute

I need one (both of these). I'm looking for perfect cardi inspiration and this is it! I definitely prefer the Trina Turk one.
ReplyDeleteOhh I don't know which one I would pick here because I love them both! Guess it would depend on my budget :) I love chunky sweaters!
ReplyDeleteOh I absolutely LOVE this find - I would definitely go for the cheaper option!!
ReplyDeleteRemain! It looks better on the body, although the Trina Turk has a nicer colour.
