J. Crew Looks for Less

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of my “splurge or steal” posts featuring pieces similar in style to the popular J. Crew versions.  But with spring’s new arrivals out, I decided this was the perfect time to show how you can try out the trends for less (J. Crew styles on the left vs. budget-friendly styles on the right).  I just ordered the striped shirt below and am now seriously eyeing those lilac chinos!  Which is your favorite?

1) J. Crew Nolita Jacket– $128 // Old Navy Denim Jacket – $29.94
2) J. Crew Keeper Chambray Shirt – $78 // JCP Chambray Shirt – $28
3) J. Crew Colorblock Tee – $45 // JCP Colorblock Tee – $16
4) J. Crew Nora Flats – $138 // Mossimo Ona Flats – $19.99
5) J. Crew Toothpick Jeans – $135 // JCP Sophie Skinny Jeans – $27
6) J. Crew Scout Chinos – $75 // NY&Company Slim Slouch Chinos – $44.95

    very good post! I love the looks for less. J Crew isn't really in my budget. Your options are spot-on.

    I love it! Starred it in my Google Reader. I've actually never been to JCP, but this is good motivation!

    Best,

    I love these looks for less posts, as well. I actually found boat neck color block stripe shirts at Old Navy that aren't on their website – exactly like the one you posted. I got one where the top part is lilac and the bottom is navy and white striped. They were on sale, too, only $6.00! I felt like I got a great deal since I've been eyeing the JCrew one for a while but it was out of my price range.

    These are great finds! I love the Spring collection from JCrew but there is no way I can afford all of it!

    Love! They have a super soft, comfy chambray shirt at Target too!

    I love these, especially the striped shirt. JCrew shirts tend to fit rather unflatteringly, too, there's a good chance the JCP fit better!

    I love J.Crew but I've never bought something from there because it's just to darn expensive! Even when things go on "sale". But your looks for less items are a perfect match! Love it!

    Polka dots and stripes are definitely two of my weaknesses. Great picks!

    This is genius. JCrew is indeed overpriced since the style is preppy, casual. I love how Old Navy is a lower-end brand but has good basic pieces similar to Gap & Banana Republic. They're owned by the same company after all.
