Sorry for the iPhone poor quality pic, ladies. J Crew has two sweaters I've been coveting (one with very simple, medium-size graphic polka dots; the other a simple heart motif. Both pricey. Both wool.
Wool (and cashmere) and I are NOT friends, so most Crew sweaters are off limits for me, even as layering pieces.
Enter Old Navy with some extremely similar designs, in cotton. Here's a pic of one with the Crew catalog inset for comparison. There are multiple color combos in both the heart and polka dot designs, as well as striped versions. Hard to think about sweaters in this AZ heat, but these are also lightweight, an added bonus in my neck of the woods, even in winter.
The price difference was considerable, as you might expect. $90 for Crew; $19 (with discount) for ON. I also seem to recall this heart design being offered last year at
J Crew (a designer version, maybe?) for a whole lot more.
