Congratulations to yesterday's winner of the Scarf-A-Day Giveaway (#5), Sungirl!

***************************
J Crew's Roxie ruffle cardigan (25858) runs XS - XL and the color is called natural. It's in the final sale section for $59.99. It's a J Crew Collection item.
Here is another ruffled cardi I tried on at J Crew. It looks just like the Roxie, but this one has a style# of 27772. I didn't pay attention to the neck tag, so I don't know if it said Collection or not like the Roxie.
Size S - Fug.
Moving right along...
* Anthropologie - One After Another cardi - If you want more bounce in your flounce. Looks like another one we saw at J Crew. I'm not saying Anthro vendors are copying. Just remarking on similarities.
* Asos - BLACK Petal Shrug - Who is the fugliest of them all? Are they trying to out-do J Crew or what. And the model is like...really...really?
* Charlotte Russe has knocked off J Crew's Lilli cardi. Check it out Charlotte Russe's version here. I've seen it in-person and it's not bad. I think it could look cute layered underneath something else. Yep -- as in 2 cardigans worn together, one over that one. Or maybe under a shorter length blazer like the J Crew or Gap schoolboy. What I like about the Charlotte Russe version is that the chiffon isn't so precious. I would feel fine washing it and if it didn't hold up for more than a couple wears, my feelings wouldn't be hurt.
* Nordstrom - Sweet Pea by Stacy Frati ruffle cardigan - Reminds me of Anthro's Spilling Ruffles cardigan, but with more volume in the ruffles. The chianti is that nice rich magenta shade I love about Anthro's.
Thanks for visiting!

Yes, agreed on that J.Crew sweater. Fug. I saw it on the rack and couldn't bear to even try it on, so you are brave.
ReplyDeleteI like that Sweet Pea cardi though, in the chianti and olive! Good price too.
Passing on this. It looks like the underlying cardigan part is fine, the ruffles are just way too much. I am having a bit of ruffle overload.
ReplyDeleteUgh! I'm sick to death of the re-created, re-creations.
ReplyDeleteI saw that on the sale rack and didn't even bother to pull it out. I am sick to say that I walked into J.Crew Saturday and walked back out in record speed. NOTHING that sang out to me. Sad!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, Gigi, your scarf giveaway posts inspired me and I purchased 3 new scarves. All longer ones similar to your giveaway scarves. Now I need a tutorial on all the ways of wearing them because as excited as I am to receive them, I don't know what to do with them!
