I am a bargain hunter. I cut coupons. I love sales. I shop around for the best prices.
(I feel like I’m in Shopaholics Anonymous!)
Case in point, I was returning an item at Kohl’s back in December and was browsing the clearance racks and found this beautiful jewel-collar oxford shirt from Elle. It was originally $50 and was marked down to 90% off! (And of course, I had a 15% off coupon on top of that!) Why can’t all deals be this good?!
Doesn’t it look really similar to this J.Crew Factory version? And guess how much the JCF version is…
It’s regularly $79.50 and on sale for $54.50. I think I got a pretty good deal on my dupe…plus I get more bang for my buck because I got sleeves haha!!
I love the look of an oxford shirt. Masculine and crisp and very business-like to me. But the jewel-collar really adds some feminine flair to it!
The only problem I noticed with these jewel-collar shirts is that the stones are so heavy that it makes the collar fall down- does anyone else have this problem or know how to remedy it?
How else would you wear a jewel-collar oxford shirt?

That’s really pretty and adds just the right amount of interest to the top. SO cute!
Thanks Alison! It doesn’t even need a necklace because the bling is right around the neckline!
Great deal Valerie. What a pretty top.

Thank you Agi! Can’t wait to remix it some more!
I love he Kohl’s dup, such a great jeweled collar shirt!
Thanks Ginny! I think it’d go well with the herringbone vest too- I’ll have to try that next!
This is so cute! I have seen this top and love it. Just adds enough extra for fun. Also love the color of your cardigan, very beautiful color on you!
Exactly- it almost eliminates the need for a necklace because the bling is right there! Thank you Rachel!
Hmmm…I’m not sure how to get the collar to stand up. Starch? It looks pretty though.
Great idea Sage- thank you!!
I think Whitney (Along the Lines of Style) has a similar one. Maybe she has some ideas on how to get the collar to stay standing. Otherwise starch is probably the answer. It’s a super cute find either way!
Oh I will have to ask her! Thanks Erin!!
That top is so cute! I can’t believe you only paid $5!
Thanks Lauren! Yeah I was stunned as well! For $5, I had to buy it!
what an incredible deal for such a great blouse! i love finding those 90% off gems on kohl’s clearance racks! i was pretty excited to find a floral blazer there one day for $10.20 and after using $10 kohls cash i only paid 20 cents out of pocket! hopefully you can find a way to get the collar to stand up straighter as it definitely deserves to be highlighted!
Thanks Heidi! Wow- you are a fantastic Kohl’s clearance shopper too! Can’t beat twenty cents!!
I got the same shirt a few weeks ago, mine was 10 at the time. I had both the blue and white in my hand and put the white back. I could kick myself for it cause I love this shirt. Mine does the same thing at the collar! Super cute look!
Love it- even $10 is a great deal! And the white would be super pretty too! How do you get yours to stay up? I tried starch and it didn’t do much, but maybe I didn’t use enough?
