Is this worth the money?

littlebean · Kate Spade

It's not really my thing, but I can *totally* see how someone else could be in love with it -- and it's so unique that as long as it's under $100, I think the answer is a tentative yes. Do you know what material it is made out of?

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

I love it and have had my eye on it for awhile. I have been disappointed by anthro quality, though, so many times that I would look at it in person if you can or get someone on here near an anthro to do so. Unfortunately, the closest anthro to me is 3.5 hours away.

erin · Chanel

i love it, ayo! i think you could get a lot of wear out of that in spring/summer so i say "yes!"

needsfashionadvice · Kate Spade

I really really like it! My only concern with it is that it's so distinct and different that you couldn't wear it that often. KWIM?

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

I haven't seen it in person yet, but I am also in love with it. I am of the opinion that a good cardi can last forever so $98 is a good price. I am planning on buying it as soon as I am allowed to buy myself a treat.

kenzie · Chanel

Definitely! It's cute and it seems so you.

member · Hermes

I've seen it IRL and it's adorable. While I do think it's worth full price (since I'm Anthro obsessed and buy a lot from there full price), I can guarantee it will more than likely go on sale. I've found that pretty much everything there does go on sale - for half price.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

Its not my style but totally unique and could really be the one piece that makes an outfit so I do think it is worth the $98 if you think the material will hold up.

Elle · Hermes

I

it, too Ayo! I can't pay $98 for anything right now so I'll have to see if I can get it on sale, but for such a distinctive piece I think it's worth it.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

So cute and so you! I think it's worth it. I paid $118 for a cardi from there recently and love it!

Kitty · Hermes

I just realized it's purple (looks gray on my screen)!! Even better!

It's really cute!

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

Provisional yes because I agree about a good cardi lasting forever but I would have to know the material to say yes, definitely.

Lilykind · Hermes

Per the website, the cardi appears to be 100% cotton.

My only concern is the one blue circle that could look strange depending on chest size. Definitely try on IRL if you can.

esquiress · Marc Jacobs

honestly that's kind of a lot for just cotton...

Kitty · Hermes

Saw it today and it's REALLY short. It's more like a cropped cardigan. I guess it would be cute over a dress or something, but I think it would be hard to work with separates.

IRL I thought it was more gray than purple, put it is on the shorter side, you would definetely need to wear something with it. I don't think it is as good of quality as it looks in the picture, but its still VERY cute! Its very different, I just worry if the flowers would kind of wilt, or become sort of 2-D and flat. You know? I would say stalk it, and wait for it to go on sale (it just depends if a lot of people buy it for the price, if they don't they'll reduce it) Stuff is marked down on Tuesdays.
