Mike & Chris: The look for less
Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Celebrities with Style, Steals and Deals
Mike & Chris has revolutionized the hoodie; their designs are amazing and are a hot item with both fashion lovers and celebrities. Their latest must have is the Baily Hoodie, which has been spotted on Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Rachel Bilson and featured in the pages of Vogue, Lucky, and InTouch. I have tried on this amazing little creation myself but I couldn't bring myself to fork over the $308. It's just too much for article of clothing that everyone will notice when you wear it 1,000 times. The first time you will get oodles of compliments, but once you hit the tenth time people will start talking about you behind your back. Just not worth it.
That being said, although I am anti-knock off girl, I can get behind paying $29.50 for this Mike & Chris inspired piece by Old Navy. This adorable babydoll coat is made out of a soft, warm fleece fabric that is a cotton/poly/ spandex blend. It's got the oversized buttons, box pleats, and side pockets just like the Mike & Chris version (without the price tag).
I can't speak for Old Navy quality because I don't wear Old Navy, but I do know that Mike & Chris is of exceptional quality. I own a few of their garments. If you want a disposable piece of clothing you might want to try this piece from Old Navy, and be sure to let me know how it goes.

Looks like maternity wear to me.
