Sunday Steals: Joie Celia Poncho Sweater for Less

Dolls, in the left corner we have Joie’s très chic Celia Poncho Sweater; in the right corner we have ModCloth’s luscious Long Flight Sweater.

Though ModCloth’s magnificent creation is quite a bit thinner, and constructed out of a mix of polyester and cotton, as opposed to the cashmere of the Joie treasure; for just $42.00, in comparison to the $274.00 price tag of its couture cousin, it is every bit as capable of helping one to create that effortlessly chic style we all strive for – at a price that is oh-so alluring for the frugalista!

Your turn loves…will you be thrifty or suckered into putting on your spendthrift cap?


Fashionably yours!


Thanks to Shopbop and ModCloth for the pictures.

  3. I am seriously loving this and I love the Modcloth one like none other. I think sweater capes are on the list for all French Women Wannabes (aka me).

  4. I don't think I'd mind having it thinner. Especially, if you work inside. It would be great to have at the office. I'd go for ModCloth.

  20. For this I have to say ModCloth wins. It just looks softer.

  21. Anything comes from ModCloth is always a big fat "yes"

  22. I actually just got a cowl neck sweater just like this from Forever21 for $24.00! Whohoo

  23. I might look for it in a brighter colour since my closet has too much grey and black. But I love the silhouette

    ReplyDelete
  24. For this one I love the more expensive Joie's one, it's stunning! I love ModCloth too but the Joie's is so beautiful

  25. g l a m o u r !!! das modell.

    thanks.

  26. I think it's a great idea to get the Modcloth version and then if you wear the hell out of it take the plunge and invest in the Joie top. I love everything Joie does too.

  27. Like this jumper, it is perfect for fall.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm liking the Joie one more (cashmere!) I'd spend $274 for it :D

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ahh, my friend has THE biggest obsession with ModCloth. Maybe I should show her this shirt?

    (Then I could steal it from her? I'm brilliant, I know.)

  32. It's raining here and I am wanting that (the cheaper version) with every inch of my body.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Its Good but not soooooooooo.... I didn't like, good there must be something which should be so so...

    ReplyDelete
  34. God I love Modclothing... I wish I could own everything in their store!

    ReplyDelete
  35. I think I would go the Joie way, both cute but again, I think Fall clothes are investments and that's a good price for a quality item for years to come!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh, I love this poncho, very sweet! :)
    I wait for you on my blog! Have a nice day!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I am always looking for sweaters in the perfect shade of greige. Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love the ModCloth one. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Take care.

    ReplyDelete
  39. These are both such glamorous pieces! But I don't think I can turn my back to cashmere... I'd love to be wearing it right now!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I happen to like the ModCloth version much better, though I'm sure the Joie poncho feels luxurious!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Although I'm sure the cashmere of the Joie version is amazing, I think I like the ModCloth one better!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Aah, LOVE this! It's like you read my mind:) Hope you enjoyed the weekend!

  43. I don't think I would rock either (my tiny frame coupled with my short stature would be swallowed up) but I bet that cashmere feels amazing. If I were to buy something like this, I feel as thought I would wear it more for outerwear anyway versus all day inside.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Really affordable! Can't tell the difference between the two and I must admit in some of the comparisons you post, I can.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Modcloth is my best choice. It looks comfortable and fresh to wear. I like also its color. Thanks and keep it up!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ohhh tough one. I always adore cashmere and this joie creation is divine, but I am also swooning over the ModCloth version!!
