Some Madewell Inspiration

Madewell is definitely inspiring. I've never actually worn Madewell, or even been to a Madewell! It's still too big for me... sad! Anyway, even if it doesn't fit, it can still be amazing outfit inspiration.

Ok, so here's my inspiration:

It reminds me of an artist. I think it's a buttons! Right now I'm wearing a boyfriend cardigan with big buttons and pockets. I'm sensing a pattern. Oh, and also I'm wearing colorful skinnies. No wonder I like this outfit!

Oh yeah, I'm doing the entire outfit from Forever 21! I'll compare the prices.

Cardigan:

This is a pretty similar cardi. It's a bit darker, but it's close enough, right?

Madewell cardi: $178.00
Forever 21: $29.90

Shirt:

I cheated. This shirt is from Zara. I couldn't find a shirt similar enough, so I caved.

Madewell: $68.00
Forever 21 Zara $49.90

Jeans:

Madewell: $98.50
Forever 21: $24.80

Scarf:

This is the one part of this outfit I don't agree with. I think maybe a green scarf would be better. Or red, or yellow, or gray, but a tiny, plum scarf was not working.

From Madewell, I suggest this:

From Forever 21:

Madewell: $39.50 when it's not on sale
Forever 21: $6.50

Total:

Madewell: $384.00 (!)
Forever 21: $111.10

Wow. I guess Forever 21/Zara is probably a promising choice when it comes to prices! Madewell has a much higher quality, but it's pretty expensive. Which is a better value? I think Madewell is cuter, but I'd have to see it in person to decide if it's worth it!

Btw, because it's Thanksgiving break, my posts should be more regular. But towards the end of the week, they will probably be few and far between. Next week (the week after Thanksgiving) is a busy week, but I can work something out. Hopefully.
