Dear Guru:

I am wondering if you know who makes the sweater she is wearing, from your blog, you seem to be super up on the sweater trends! I love this color , and cannot find any match on any website.

Thanks!
Michele

Dear Michele:

I cannot find out the designer behind this sweater, but I am willing to bet you that it costs a lot of money! Instead, I found these versions for less.

 

Mauve Cowl Sweater, $16.00 at www.dorothyperkins.com

Long Sleeve V-Neck Sweater, $38.00 at www.yesstyle.com

V-Neck Knit Top, $20.00 at www.sharesale.com

Pair your sweater with skinny jeans, a mini skirt, or shorts. Your options are limitless! Of course, you always have SJP to look up to.
