should i get this??

greca · BCBG

ooh, that's a pretty sweater- I can totally see it w/skinny jeans and cool boots...sorry to be an enabler...

BUT- maybe you can wait a while and see if it goes on sale or you can find it cheaper elsewhere? Free People is a pretty popular brand, so it may pop up somewhere else for less or w/a better code...I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Metric · Gucci

It is a really really beautiful sweater. And paying over $100 isn't unusual for a nice sweater, imo.

Buuuut...I get paranoid about having too much cc debt so I say pay that off first, then get the sweater.

luckylily · Gucci

Do you know what the fabric content is? A lot of Free People sweaters are acrylic. For that price, you should be getting a natural fiber, IMO.

It is really cute tho!

Cortney1982 · Chanel

If you can't pay your credit card bill in full within 2 months, then no. I do like it though!

Tashina · Kate Spade

i love it. and if the quality is good, than i would say it is worth the money.

kmd · Kate Spade

That sweater looks like it's worth every penny, if you ask me. It's gorg. If you join the luvcharlie mailing list, you'll get good codes pretty frequently.

Oh, and if a sweater starts to pill, just get a sweater shaver- they work beautifully.

Karina · Chanel

i really really love it. i would get it.

Hermes

I love that! I want one too!

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

That's on my fall list too. I lurve it. Free People stuff is usually pretty nice so I think the price is pretty reasonable.

Kel · Coach

That sweater is so pretty. If you feel uneasy about the price, wait a little while to see if it goes on sale.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

Love it and now I want it

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I love it! As long as its at least mostly a natural fiber I'd go for it... I think it would be something I'd grab pretty often in Fall/Winter.

subwolley · Kate Spade

The sweater is really cute. The site says it's made of Acrylic/Nylon/Wool.

Kelly · Hermes

I love it. It is a little bit pricey, but it also looks so snuggly, comfy, and cute - if I had it, I know I'd pull it out *all the time*...get it!

cc · Marc Jacobs

I love it but according to the Free People website the fabric content is 63% Acrylic / 22% nylon / 15% wool. I would probably wait for a better code or hope that it goes on sale soon. Or if you are worried about it selling out, maybe order it from somewhere with a big window for returns and if you love it in person and think the price is justified, only keep it if you pay off your credit card in that time period.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I would wait to see if it went on sale or popped up somewhere else for less. I know nordies, macy's, loehmans, and urban outfitters sells free people among other places. I have found current season free people at loehmans for less than it was selling at macy's so just check around.

Collette · Chanel

Ohhh I want that sweater now!

Lilykind · Hermes

Honestly, a sweater made of nearly two thirds acrylic AND is 85% not natural fibers shouldn't cost more than $50...and $50 is pushing it. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as mean, but I think the price is absolutely ridiculous and REGARDLESS of how cute the sweater is (because it is a really cute sweater) it's made of crappy material. I swear the sweater looks like it's pilling on the model!

That said, if you are near a Loehmann's they frequently get in-season Free People stuff for like 50-75% off retail so I think it would be worth a look there.

Vanessa · Kate Spade

While I think it's a gorgeous sweater, I think you should wait at least a few weeks.
Over the years I've forced myself to not shop too early for spring or fall (with the exception of Nordies' anniversary sale where I buy the occasional fall item) because by the time the weather is right, either something better has come out, or the item went on sale, or a fabulous code is out. Bonus if you wait, is your cc will be closer to paid off :)
My 2 cents...
