I've always had a thing for shoes. Blame it on my genes.
My mom is full-on Filipina. Never mind that she only has about 10 pairs of shoes and I have maybe, um, ten times that. As far as I know, Imelda Marcos is no relation.
Shoes are my passion, my vice. I don't just love 'em on my feet, either. I have shoe necklaces, tanks covered in mini high heels and a T-shirts with shoes. So when I saw Anthro's Imelda cardigan over at Respect the Shoes, I had to have it. Kinda. It's $98.
I did what any good shopper on a budget would do: hunted for a cheaper alternative. Forever XXI has a pretty decent $14 cardi (Product Code: 2072161062).
It's a little thick for spring, but seems well-made. Since it's Forever XXI, I opted to be safe and order a medium. I can't decide if the mix-n-match buttons look cute or cheap, but it's got shoes on it and it was under $20. How can I complain?

Thanks for the shout out! I love shoesies too. Anything with shoesies. But BF told me that I can wear the shoesies on my feet but nowhere else.
i love shoes too.thanks for finding the cheaper alternative,because anthros cardi is pretty pricey.
Anthro's is a bit frenetic, for lack of a better word. Sometimes they go a little overboard with the patterns. I like the F21 version, the buttons are cute!
Cute cardigan! It's a great colour. :)

I had purchased the Anthro version but returned it for a variety of reasons, one being i found it loud. I like this version. I wonder if a L would fit me. I'm tempted to order, because going into the F21 at Tucson Mall makes me want to hide. The tinny noise coming from the speakers scares me.
j - that tucson mall store is enough to trigger seizures. it's soooo loud, overstuffed, overloaded. i think i could have gone with my usual size - small - so i think you could do it. i didn't see it in either f21 store. OH, and i saw your review! i felt like such an insider: i *know* her! i read her blog!:)
