Cuddle Up, Damsels

The wind is quite literally howling right outside my window as I write this, which makes this Lust vs. Must post highly appropriate. I've never understood the whole "don't wear white after labor day" rule because I think wearing a white chunky sweater and hat is one of the cutest winter ensembles there is! And while I own quite a few cozy knits, I've still been eying this gorgeous White + Warren Cashmere Shaker Bateau Neck:

I would cozy up like no one has ever cozied before if I owned this sweater. Just look at it! All seductive with its slouchy self and 100% cashmere. I'd hate it if I didn't love it.

...and I might actually hate it a little seeing that it's $330.

But while crying into my poly-blend knits and trolling the web seeking solace, I found this:

It may not be 100% cashmere, but it's more than 10x less money at only $29.99. I'm loving the boat necks on both sweaters, and while I prefer the fabric, swing and sleeves of the White + Warren, I'm def digging the price of this AE sweater more.

What say you? Do you want the lust or do you prefer the must?
