Splurge or Steal: The Animal on My Chest Edition {Intarsia Trend}

Maybe you've noticed the influx of Intarsia Animal sweaters lately?
Foxes, Birds, French Bulldogs, Horses and yes, even Tigers.
I sort of love this novelty sweater approach...although I think it's a trend that will run it's course in under 2 years. I prefer to spend small $ on trends and save the $$$ for classic pieces both in my home design projects and my wardrobe. I'm predicting that home decor will follow this animal novelty trend and we'll be seeing a lot of fox pillows like this one from Pottery Barn and tons of other Intarsia inspired home decor items throughout 2014!
