Save or Splurge: Universal Thread vs. Madewell

Target has done it again. It wasn't enough that they were taking all our money with their Hearth and Hand collection or their Joy Lab althleisure brand we were loving last fall. Now with their newest line, Universal Thread they are diversifying their fashion with a denim focused line that we are loving. Looking through the collection, I knew I liked pieces and that some looked oddly familiar. And then I realized why I like it so much; because they look just like my second favorite store, Madewell. So similar in fact, many of the pieces are almost exact replicas. We've rounded up our favorite Madewell inspired looks from the Universal Thread collection and ask should we save or splurge?
