Inspired by...J Crew - *Updated 11/25/09*

See bottom of post for update.

When I was in J Crew yesterday, one of the girls working had the cutest black and white sweater on. Turns out it was this J Crew long marled cardigan that retails for $128.


This cardigan from Forever 21 is double breasted and slightly shorter, but it definitely reminds me of the J Crew version above. It retails for $22.80 and you can click on the photo below to purchase (don't forget to use code F21FRIENDS for free shipping through tonight at 11:59 PST).



*Update - 11/25/09* - American Eagle also has a similar shawl collar marled cardigan, which is lighter and shorter than the J Crew version but still a good inspired by option. It also comes in a few other colors and is currently on sale for $39.95 (use code 76845734 tomorrow - it's good for Thanksgiving Day ONLY and get free shipping plus 25% off on any order).
