Tightwad Tuesday: KAiN Label Side Drape Pocket Tank for Less

Darlings, in the left corner we have KAiN Label’s luscious Side Drape Pocket Tank – the very same one gracing the form of both Lindsay Lohan and Twilight’s Dakota Fanning; in the right corner we have NYC Boutique’s blissful The Shark Bite Tank.

Though the NYC Boutique beauty is crafted out of a poly rayon/spandex blend, whereas the KAiN Label lovely is constructed out of a mix of silk and modal; for just $22.95, as opposed to the $94.00 asking price of the Side Drape Pocket Tank, it is every bit as enticing to one’s summer wardrobe – and utterly ideal for satiating the frugal fashionista’s craving for something fabulous!

Is today the day for you to please the big spender within; or will you play it cool and be thrifty?


Fashionably yours!

  2. $94??? They also have a shirt similar in Express for 20 something. I'll be going for the cheaper one this time!

  3. This is a tough one! I love them both, but the Kain tank is so thin and drapes really nicely. I might go for that one! Crazy, right? Either way, they're both great! Hope you had a nice weekend.

  4. I have to go with Kain. It feels so good against my skin. The only downside is the dry cleaning! x

  12. KAiN?
    sounds like Indonesian language, means fabric in english
    do you know this brand made in what country?

  13. I have a similar tank from F21 and bought a similar dress from ASOS!! Love the cut of this tank - perfect for layering over leggings <3

    Hope you had a wonderful 4th darling!

  15. These are both gorgeous, but I do like the KAiN a little better. It seems to have a touch of sheerness to it that I really love!

    ReplyDelete
  16. In this heatwave? Cool and thrifty, I'd splurge on two :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. If I wore that I'd look really hippy.

    ReplyDelete
  18. OMG. I love the top love love love

    ReplyDelete
  19. I like the style of KAiN but like the material of NYC better. : )

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think I'll be thrifty today - the NYC boutique one looks more wearable :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. 22.95 anyday! What a great deal :) I wish those kinds of tops fit me better, I have one with sripes that I have yet to pair with something cute :P

  26. I really like the style of this top. I'd take the cheap one, though!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oooh, there's nothing in it! The cheapie looks almost identical so I'll go with that. Cute with skinny jeans and chunky heels, I bet! :) x

    ReplyDelete
  28. The left one is see trough.That's the only reason I would choose the NYC B one.In fact,not the only.The right one is also cheaper. ;)
    Hope you're ok!

    ReplyDelete
  29. i'd be thrifty - the nyc boutique one looks great!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love both of them. The NYC is the one I definitely prefer: the colour is so much better.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I like the NYC much better! No doubt.

  35. They are both so chic but I would go with the less expensive one this time

    ReplyDelete
  36. While I like the sheerness of the KAiN tank, as always thrifty > pricy (I should come up with a cool catchphrase for that one!), so I'd have to go with the NYC Boutique!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  37. I'd go cheap and buy at least three :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. They are both fabulous, but I might be tempted to fork out a bit more for the nice material. Actually, I want them both!
    (Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Erika - stupid blogger seems to have swallowed it, but perhaps it will reappear. I'm sure you had your comment struggles too today.) xoxo

  40. How did you know I am loving the drapey look this summer? You always know what I need to see.

    ReplyDelete
  41. THis top is perfection for the summer!! It is so flowy!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I love them both... the other one because of the price and the other because of the material. Tough choices. Happy Tuesday! xoxo

  43. I LOVE the less expensive one -- so cute, and the pocket is fab.

  44. I love tanks like these! I've missed your frugal finds, Erika :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love these. Both are soooo cute! Good picks!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Loving the tank top, sooo incredibly perfect for this heat wave we're experiencing!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Thrifty for shore! It's a dead ringer for the more expensive one. Cute tanks!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I like the less expensive one as the fabric is a bit thicker - love my Kain tees but sometimes i think they are "too" thin (-:

    P.S. Following you on twitter now (-:

    ReplyDelete
  49. Honestly, I'm not sure if I would be able to pull off the look at all! But if I did, it would have to be with the NYC Boutique one. I don't like uber-sheer tops.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I love the color so much more in the pricey one . . . but not enough to pay $100 for a tank top! :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. oh I looove these tops! I just love the draping and the cut. So simple and yet so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  52. copycat all over...I would take the cheaper one, 100 bucks for a shirt.haha

    ReplyDelete
  53. I really like none of them.. :S But I like the NYC version better.

    XOXO

  56. I love thanks like that! But I know an ever cheaper one at the H&M! I'm going to buy it very soon I think

    ReplyDelete
  57. For 22.50? I would def get that one!!! It looks just as special as the expensive one!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Erika! My mouth dropped as soon as I saw this... I JUST (seriously!) ordered a Kain Label V-Neck Tee. What on earth are the chances?! So, eventhough it's not totally identical to this one you've featured here we are definitely on the same page!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. so simple yet very cool. interesting find.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Now that's inspiring! Great find.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Both are really cool. I like the KAiN one better, but you can't beat the steal price!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Thrifty for sure! Silk is not an easy fabric in the Texas heat!

    ReplyDelete
  63. L O V E both these- and also a similar top ive seen from wang.. such a great top that you can dress up and down depending on what you pair it with..

    ReplyDelete
  64. I like both, but the KAiN is toooo sheer. Why pay a lot for something that doesn't wear on its own?
