Permalink Closed


I've had a tremedous time trying to find the perfect black/ivory striped sweater and I bought this C&C cashmere black/ivory striped sweater for $144 earlier this season. I it and have gotten so many compliments on it that I know I will be absolutely heartbroken when it's worn out.

Dare Devil Cashmere - Black/Cream

Well, J. Crew also has a really nice looking black/ivory sweater where the scale of the stripe is slightly smaller but still large enough...the stripes match properly at the arms and all.



Would it be silly to get this one too? It's $42 for a wool/cashmere sweater so I am loving the price but I can just see BF going..."that sweater is exactly the same"

If you love it and would wear it out, then buy it. I must own 50 cream blouses. I love all of them. And even though DH thinks they all look the same, it is one of my favorite items to buy.

I say go for it!

P.S - Love the C&C one too!

i think i tried the jcrew sweater on before, and it's a bit short in the body (thus making me look wider than i actually am). as a disclaimer, though: i have a long torso

that said, i might get it in a different color, not necessarily another black/ivory one...

With so many options out there for cute sweaters, I probably wouldn't buy one so similar.  If it comes in a different color then I definitely would go for it!

I think you should get another colorway in the JCrew, or get another of the same C & C if you want a replacement.  I don't think you should get another black/white striped one unles you'll love and wear it as much as the original.  They look the same to me.

If you get the JCrew one, go with the black/gray combo.

thanks girls for all your opinions! I decided against it...you girls are right, it's basically the same and kind of silly to own when they're not so different.
