Quick Share: White Peplum Top for $78 vs $10

I envy all of you who can rock a peplum top without looking like the number 8.  Unfortunately, I haven't found the right cut for my short-waisted self, but that doesn't keep me from admiring the pretty on Pinterest:

I think tops like this are such a pretty option for spring and summer, so I wanted to pass along a deal I found over the weekend:

white peplum top // j.crew vs jcp by cardiganjunkie featuring j crew shirts

Yes, the J.Crew version probably will last longer if you plan to wear your peplum top for years to come.  However, I can attest that the JCP version is decently thick and structured, and definitely worth $10 if you're looking to play around with the trend.  

P.S. JCP also offers a black ponte knit version by Liz Claiborne that goes for $20 right now and is a dead ringer for the black shade of the $78 J.Crew top.

P.P.S.  I got this cute green gingham shirt by Joe Fresh for $19 at JCP and am thrilled to report that it is cut in a way that will button over a large chest.  It's tough going out there, and always a treat to find an option for under $50.  Snap them up before they're gone!
