Look for Less: Polka Dot Sweater
I am a huge fan of polka dots, how about you?! I am especially excited to see dots popping up everywhere lately.
While browsing through J.Crew’s new look book I discovered THESE fun cashmere sweaters. I was particularly drawn to the neutral camel color…shocker!
J.Crew Cashmere polka-dot sweater in camel $268
I know cashmere is amazeballs, but if I am going to buy cashmere it would have to be an end-of-season clearance item in a solid color I could wear year after year.
This item with its white dots and price tag do not meet the criteria! Wouldn’t it be fun though paired with a collared shirt peaking out with jeans or a pencil skirt?
I was happy when I found THIS similar look at Old Navy.
Old Navy polka-dot sweater in carmel $24.94
I’m telling ya…Old Navy is great sometimes. With frequent discount codes, free shipping on orders of $50, and most items being able to return at a store, there is no extra cost to ordering online.
I ordered this sweater immediately and was very happy when it arrived to find it so soft and the perfect weight for autumn and for layering. I actually prefer the black polka dots to the white, I think it will be easier to match with my winter clothes.
Have you found any favorite polka dots for the fall yet?

Steal of a deal ~ cashmere lasts for years, unfortunately fashion/styles don’t!
Who wants to be ‘stuck’ in a ‘time warp’ with an expensive polka dot sweater anyway……..I agree with you, the black dots look better!
