Target vs. J Crew

I love J Crew, but these days the prices there are out of control. And this is where Target comes into play.

Exhibit A - J Crew, $$$$$.


Exhibit B - Target, $.


Now, if only I could decide which color to get.... I am thinking the black and brown will fade too much. The red is too much color. Too bad there is not a mustard color... I will probably end up with the grey.

I think I like the Target one better. Great find! Hmm...I might have to go to Tar-jay this week!!!

I will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for that cardigan the next time I am at target!

kolls said...

Oh Target, you never fail me!

J Crew's pricing are definitely OUT OF CONTROL! I did a whole post about it the other day!!! Very cute sweater from both places though.

I saw this at Target too, and thought it looked so cozy! I think I may have to pick it up too.

I saw this at Target the other day and it was very soft. Definitely worth buying.

Enjoy your week!

Isn't that remarkable? Fabulous find!

I agree that prices have become ridiculously high at
JCrew. Just this weekend a friend and I were there and we were laughing out loud at a t-shirt ON CLEARANCE for $49.00. ??? A t-shirt with a saying on it! Who is paying these prices for clothing--regular tees, pants, and sweaters?

Old Navy has a similar item for only $15, in case you wanted to keep your options open!

I actually prefer the longer styling of the one from Target!

Leeann @ Join the Gossip said...

Great find--the sweaters look identical!

Melissa said...

I love Target and have been shopping there a lot more than J.Crew in the past several months! I kind of want that sweater!

The Shabby Princess said...

Agreed on J. Crew prices these days! Sheesh! Great Target finds :)

RED said...

between the saving-for-wedding/house and JCrew's more obscene pricing - I'm ALL OVER Target and Old Navy this season. I think they are both cranking out lots of GREAT stuff, and it feels great to save some $$$ too!
Great find! I always default gray for whatever reason!
Oh and how about that game last night? KILLER. But I'm sure you're happy. I cried myself to sleep last night- ha!

Lipstick said...

Totally agree! I only buy J Crew from consignment stores!

ms. mindless said...

you know i have both and love both! i wish i had gotten the j crew version last season in navy as well as the gray! my roommate found a gorgeous steely blue gray one today at a target in the dc area!

Kate said...
