Elizabeth & James Sequined Sweatshirt

This sweatshirt is WAY overpriced. Almost $450 for a sweatshirt is kind of ridiculous but that doesn't mean I don't like it. I just can't buy it. I love this style of sweatshirt. They are usually super comfy and casual but rhis one is definitely not meant to be worn with sweatpants. I would pair it with jeans for a dinner with friends.

What do you think?

You can buy it through ShopBop.com for $445

I do love the Elizabeth and James stuff, agree they're wa-ay overpriced, but the styles are great!

I saw this in Saks the other day and was swooning over it! Don't worry - it will go on sale like everything else. Patience, my dear. :)

I'm guessing sometimes it's about the quality of the sweatshirt and the materials. Sometimes 450 is a fair pric. In my eyes at least.

Pop Champagne said...

mmm it's more than I can afford for a shirt, haha, besides I had a sequin shirt like that and the sequins come off afer a few wears! though for $450 it better not come off as easily as my shirt!

When I first saw that shirt, I swore it was like 50 - 100 dollars tops. But $540 is kinda crazy. But it is a very nice, sparkly shirt...just not nice enough for that price though. Lol!

mcQueenBeep* said...

Seriously? 30 bucks would be EXPENSIVE for that! So ridiculous. It's pretty but so not worth it.

LyddieGal said...

Very adorable, but that price tag is insane! DIY anyone?

Jasmira Flower said...

Nice sweater, but this price? Moreover, from an old sweater with sequins or crystals, no such miracle can conjure up ...

It's so funny you posted this. We interviewed a fashionista on my site who is so fab, she is wearing this very shirt, but in black. The way she styled it is simply amazing, check it out @

Fatiha Faulzi said...

Hmmm... it may be overpriced but perhaps the quality and material made up for it?

I love that it has sequins, although I think I would prefer a slouchier fit myself.
It is cute though - perhaps it will go on sale and still be available in your size :)
