I love spotting look-a-like items and finding that J.Crew is the better value.

Lately, I have been eyeing up this striped tee.

Look at the two versions: one is from Alice + Olivia and the other is from J.Crew. The price difference is $313!


Alice + Olivia Samantha Silk Sequin-Striped Tee, $385.00

While they do say that imitation is flattery, it seems that all fashion styles are borrowed here and there. Target and J.Crew seem to have done the same. Which came first? Not sure. But it sure is the same look for less.

Target or J.Crew?Target or J.Crew?

J.Crew Penelope Mary Jane, $235.00 or Mossimo Vester Mary Jane, $24.99

Have you found other same looks for less while browsing through other retailers’ websites?
