Budget Buster vs. Stylish Substitute

Although I do these posts few and far between, I saw this one today and got a leeeeetle excited, because I kinda like the cheaper version better. Yay!


Budget Buster:


Free People Stripe Sweater, $138
Stylish Substitute:

Forever 21 Striped Stud Trim Cardigan, $32

I think I like F21's version better because of the studs and the length, but Free People's color is much better. Well, the price is really what would do it for me, since I would gladly pay $100 less for the F21 version!

No OOTD today. It's so cold they closed schools, which means I'm wrapped up in a sweater and jeans. Not very exciting. Let's hope the weather getss a teense warmer.

Also, GO HORNS!!! (Texas vs. Alabama tonight 7 pm CST. I'll be watching it with bells on. Eating Buffalo Wild Wings. Yum.)

  3. I love the forever 21 version. Thanks for this great find.
    My sister lives in Dallas too and she says everyone was freaking out because of the ice. I lived in TX most of my life so when I moved to Indiana for graduate school I thought classes would be canceled during my first snow showers, but no, I had to go to class. It was the first time in my life that I ever saw that much snow.

  5. I like the f21 version also but I've seen it in store and it's made with rabbit hair...which means tons of shedding! It was the only reason I didn't buy it!
