Dolls, to the left we have 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Silk Ruffle Tank, the very same won worn by Kelly Ripa just last year; to the right we have Victoria’s Secret’s Tiered Silk Georgette Shell.While the versatile Victoria’s Secret offering is slightly less sheer than the 3.1 Phillip Lim piece, and features tiers as opposed to ruffles; for a mere $48.00 apiece, as opposed to the $275.00 asking price of the Lim lovely it is every bit as perfect. And the real clincher…it’s available in five fabulous hues – citronella, bright royal, black, very berry, and floral. Why not splurge and buy them all?!
Will 3.1 Phillip Lim tempt you into being a big spender, or will Victoria’s Secret inspire you to save?
Fashionably yours!

I love this hue -- so sunny and bright and perfect for this time of year! Doesn't it make you want to smile? Great choices!
ReplyDeleteThe Lim one is an AMAZING quality so the price might be worth it, but you really can't beat the price on the VS one. Hmmm, let me think...
Big spender. Victoria's Secret stuff is always bad quality in my experience. I always have to send stuff back. xo

yellow never looked so lovely. and perfect for our soon to be summer season! a brilliant fashion find, as always :)
ReplyDeletexo,
sylvie of silver lining
I loved the VS one. think I'd choose it with any doubt! xo
ReplyDeleteThe steal definitely! What a pretty top...my fave color :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the previous commenter, I severed my relationship with Victoria Secret a long time ago. The bad quality,as well as their horrible return policy for their online items is enough to have me running in the arms of the Phillip Lim piece!
ReplyDeleteThis top is gorgeous! I love the bright yellow color and all the feminine ruffles. I'd definite save on this and go with the VS top! What a great deal!

Victoria's, please! I love all the colors they come in. Very bright yet sexy. I love how you come up with all these things.
ReplyDeleteFabulous find! I am so in love with all things yellow right now. :)
ReplyDeleteXx
What a fabulous find. Since they are both silk I would definitely go for the thrifty version, also because the VS one is available in several colours (but, I have to say, the yellow is beautiful!)
ReplyDeleteI have to say I have a great relationship with Victoria's Secret. And they have a great return policy. Free shipping. They are great for plain (no logo) key pieces. Yellow is lovely. perfect to brighten up a rainy day.
ReplyDeleteI love ruffles! This top is really beautiful, especially for summer!
ReplyDeleteMelanie@Unravelled Threads
Lovely top... the ruffles are so sweet and the color is so summery. You know me, I'd choose the VS version.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day Erika! xoxo
So summery and cute, I think it's Victoria's for me!! :) xx
ReplyDeletei like the VS one, actually :D
ReplyDeletei'm really loving yellow this season. such a pop.
love ya!!

love these tops! i have a similar one (peach colored) from jcrew!
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow but am not sure how it would look on my fair skin, so definitely the VS one for me!

Ah, the color is absolutely adorable. I would prefer the Phillip Lim one but hey, I'm broke! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the top :)
ReplyDeletexoxo Sootjeelina <3
I like everything about the VS better - shell vs tank, tiers vs ruffles, and less sheer. I'll take 2 please.
ReplyDeleteSteal!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that top is so pretty and summery!! I love it. Sometimes I have trouble with VS sizes... And they have a terrible return policy. But it looks totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection!
Victoria's Secret is my saving grace for finding the latest fashions for cheap. But like Lisa above, I have problems with sizing (and quality)sometimes
ReplyDeletemaybe its just the pictures, but i like the pop of yellow from victorias secret better!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Stephanie
I'm gonna have to give in and go for the 3.1 Phillip Lim tank. It's just too perfect!
ReplyDeleteErika, I LOVE this shirt! The colour is so beautiful, and it is perfect for summer. Victoria's Secret's version is just fine with me, so I'm going with the cheaper on this one! Have a wonderful Thursday, Love. ♥

ReplyDeleteProbably Vickys. I have never gotten anything from there except bra's and undies, this top is soo cute :)
ReplyDeleteThe VS one is really cute as well :D I'll choose that one!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love both tops! The yellow color with the ruffles is so lovely. Perfect for summer.

I like the Victoria Secret's one better, I must say. I have been looking for something like this for a long time so thanks for this post! :)
ReplyDeleteVS no doubt! I love that color :)
ReplyDeleteI just ordered something very similar from Forver21.com!!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the victoria secret one better lol
ReplyDeleteand yay for yellow!
Even though the 3.1 Phillip Lim top is gorgeous, I actually like the Victoria's Secret tank better. It's so cheery yet chic!
ReplyDeleteWith such a bright color, the VS version would work out just fine. I prefer to splurge on more classic pieces.
ReplyDeleteso love the ruffles. just right...for that summer splurge..well, at VS.
ReplyDeleteGo Victoria's Secret - that top is lovely!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the look, but i dread victoria's secret's customer service
ReplyDeleteanother amazing find! it might just be the photography but i'm loving the victoria's secret version :)
ReplyDeleteLove the VS one and love bright yellow for summer! xoxoxo Erika! (p.s. I think of you almost every morning when I straighten my hair!)
ReplyDeleteI've never bought anything from Victoria's Secret. But this one seems lovely! I don't have $275 so I will pick the VS one haha.
ReplyDeleteLoving the blog

Yellow ruffle tops are so pretty. I prefer the Victoria Secret one: it looks more adorable.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cute, love the Victoria Secret one!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the yellow color!
ReplyDeleteVS - great color but you may not wear it forever so spend a little, save a lot on this one! (-:
ReplyDeleteI need to save so I'm lovin' the Victoria's Secret one:)
ReplyDeleteThey both look fairly similar but I've heard Vickie's clothes aren't great quality SO I'll go with the big spender.
ReplyDeleteI love VS collections! They're perfect casual wear! So affordable too!
ReplyDeletewell by those photos id definitely pick the vs one- its gorgeous. i love yellow!
ReplyDeletexx ediot
Very pretty. The yellow is exquisite, I'd love to see all the other VS colors too! Hope you have a great weekend Erika!
ReplyDeletexo Mary Jo

ReplyDeleteOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!
ReplyDeletegonna go get it NOW!

Very cute, I love bright yellow in the summer. And definitely save on this one.
ReplyDeleteI will have to go with the expensive one because that is a shade of yellow that suits me. The other one makes me look all shades of wrong. haha
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable and the color just screams SUMMER! I think I am inspired to save. The Victoria's Secret number is just as cute.
