sweater: DIY'ed blouse: thrifted jeans: gifted (American Eagle) hat: made by my sis purse: thrifted (Mossimo) boots: Call It Spring
A while ago I saw this J Crew sweater and immediately fell in love....and then barfed when I found out that it was eighty eight dollars. I mean seriously people that's cray cray! Who pays $88 dollars for a sweater? Whooooo!!!! So I decided that I was going to stick it to the man and make my own. And thus my heart sweater journey began. I searched all over the internet for a look alike but cheap sweater and ended up buying this sweater (their still in stock!) in the color camel for a whopping $9. Then I cut out a felt heart and stitched it to the sweater. Bammm $79 smackaroonies saved and one hecka cute sweater acquired. Sorry J Crew, I love you but a poor students got to do what a poor students got to do. Am I right or am I right people!

Yesss you are so right! I've been wanting to do the same thing, I love the sweater but there is no way I'm paying $88 for it!
Can you put a post up about how you put the heart on it?:)
I love your sweater. I have the same sweater (minus the heart) in many colors. I went crazy for them when they were $15. I also love your bag. =)
your right!! and i bet yours is cuter anyway!!!(:
you are SO AWESOME. the end.
This is adorable and you are so crafty! What an awesome idea :) Love the sweater by the way--You've inspired me!
I think I'd put hearts on the elbows too!
Right you are! I love your Faux Crew sweater! So cute! Especially over the gingham top and that hat is also so cute on you!
What an awesome (and simple!) DIY! I might have to steal this idea and try it myself. Love how you've styled it as well!

I love the sweater, but I especially love the hat. Does your sister have an online link to the pattern? I miss you!
You are my hero! Yay for poor college students!
The sweater and the shirt go well together. Nice combo.

You are too cute and I love the sweater!

Such a cute outfit! Love the sweater and the hat! :)
I really need to get some sewing skills. I'd love to be able to throw something together so easily. Love the color of the sweater!
that's awesome! and really cute :) I don't understand how people could buy things that are that expensive, unless they're like billionaires. It's just not possible for me.
