The Look for Less: Marcus Lupfer Sequin Lips Sweater


Marcus Lupfur lips sweater look for less

Lips seem to be a recurring theme today: Earlier I found these lip print sweaters, and now I've stumbled upon two sequinned lip sweaters. The splurge is by Marcus Lupfer, who designs luxe lightweight sweaters with signature graphic motifs like the "lips" shown above. But it hardly seems worth paying nearly $500 for something that's probably a fleeting trend. I say go for the steal at H&M! Pair with skinnies and pointy toe pumps for a cheeky look. Kiss, kiss.

Splurge vs Save: Lips Sweater

Alice + Olivia's pout embroidered cardigan is $220.80 (down from $368) at Saks Fifth Avenue, while a similar look for less is just $24 at The Limited! I think I prefer the budget version in red and camel even more than the original (see below!)
