Thrifty Thursday: J. Crew Maritime-Stripe Blazer on a Budget

Darlings, in the left corner savor the sauciness that is J. Crew’s magnificent Maritime Stripe-Blazer; in the right feast your eyes upon Forever 21’s fabulous Striped French Terry Blazer.

While the Forever 21 piece is made up primarily of polyester, whereas the J. Crew gem is constructed entirely out of heavyweight slub cotton; for a mere $22.80, as opposed to the $118.00 necessary to take its Crew cousin home, it is the ideal way for the frugalista to add a smattering of sailor style to her wardrobe – at a price that allows one to scoop up both chic color combos (Cream/Black and Navy/White)!

So mes chéris, what are you up to today? Will your AmEx take a beating with a splurge, or will you stay safe and thrifty with a frugal buy?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to J. Crew and Forever 21 for the pictures.
