Looks can be deceiving: Banana Republic's zigzag crochet top

If I had to guess, I'd say this top, made of a lightweight knit with a crocheted zigzag border and cutouts, was in the $200-and-up range. The details are so refined (not to mention so cool and original) and come together beautifully, in a way that to me connotes expensive. Happily, I couldn't have been more wrong: Its actual price-$64-is way less than I'd have thought, and it's also particularly easy to track down at Banana Republic. It comes in a brilliant red and also in turquoise, though I like it best in this deep, goes-with-anything brownish black "carob chip" color.
