Best Places To Find Sweaters Under $100
Let's face it: it gets cold, very cold in Pittsburgh and sweaters are a way of life here from October until at least March. You can head to the mall for a new piece for your cold weather wardrobe or you can head to one of Pittsburgh's many independent boutiques to load up on cute sweaters that not everyone else will have. Don't worry about blowing your budget. "Boutique" doesn't automatically mean, "break the bank."

If there is one piece you absolutely have to have this winter, it is a soft, oversized sweater. Sure, a petite cardigan or a tissue-weight cashmere turtleneck each create a sleek silhouette that will keep you warm, but wrapping yourself up in a long, thick sweater is what you need to get through those cold winter days. A duster sweater is just what the doctor ordered. Dress it up with some slim trouser pants or dress it down with some boyfriend-fit jeans. The Picket Fence has the preppy looks you need and with sweaters like this one priced at just $88, this shop will become one of your favorite places to frequent when you are craving something new for your wardrobe.
