Double-Take

Since so many of you wrote & told me how much you appreciated last week’s “look for less” post, I decided to do another one…again specifically focusing on J. Crew styles that I found affordable similar versions of.  I completely believe in certain investment items if they are things you know you will wear over and over again and will get your money’s worth.  That being said, sometimes finding wallet-friendly pieces is a great way to try out a trend without regretting it later when styles change.




1) J. Crew Peter Pan Collar Tee – $65 / Forever 21 Collared Sweater – $15.50 (I bought this one!)
2) J. Crew Tippi Sweater – $79.50 / Forever 21 Essential Sweater – $15.80 (more colors available)
3) J. Crew Martina Suede Wedges – $228 / Forever 21 Almond Toe Wedges – $24.80 (also in burgundy)
5) J. Crew Silk Colorblock Pants – $128 / Worthington Tuxedo Ankle Pants – $25 (comes in tall too!)

    Loving the alternatives! So similar, though I'm sure a little different in person. That purple sweater is great though and last week while in NY I saw someone wearing the tuxedo pants. SHe was from Saks and I'm sure hers were pricey however I actually like your more affordable fitted version… if I could pull them off!

    How did you make this picture with the different items and text? What program did you use? I'm starting my own blog and I'm asking for advice from some of my favorite bloggers!

    Thanks in advance!
