Inspired by...ALC Lottie Sweater

ALC's fair isle Lottie sweater looks super cozy for fall, and retails for $691 at Matches.

If you love the look, but want something a little more budget friendly, I found two inspired by options. The first is from J Crew and retails for $148, the second is from Gap and retails for $49.95 (and comes in two other colors - I prefer this blue shown below, and it's definitely my favorite over both the ALC and J Crew versions!).

Inspired by...ALC [Reader Request]

Reader Sally wrote in after spotting this ALC dress on a recent How I Met Your Mother episode (The Stinson Missile Crisis - worn by Robin). This dress originally retailed for $239 at Barneys but is sold out online. She wondered if maybe I could find something more budget friendly, and possibly long sleeved since the temps are getting cooler. (HIMYM photo credit)




Imagine my happiness when I spotted this long sleeve black and blue striped maxi (sweater) dress at Old Navy. It retails for $46.94 and if you want to add a slit like Robin's, check with your tailor and see if they can hook you up.

ALC Turtleneck Dress

Inspired by...ALC

ALC's striped boatneck tee retails for $124 at Barneys New York.


New York and Company's Mariner tee retails for a much lower $14.97 (down from $29.95), although it's more of an inspired by option since it has some shoulder embellishment that the original doesn't have (it would also be a good option for this Jennifer Love Hewitt Look 4 Less I featured earlier in the week - thanks Carol!). You can click on the photo below if you're interested in purchasing.
