Banana Republic Mad Men Collection: Gingham Crop Pants

…g other than my dirty moving/cleaning attire. I always look forward to the Banana Republic Mad Men collections because the retailer has a little fun and gets a little cheeky. This time around it’s mod ’60s prints and silhouettes, my favorite of which is these gingham crop pants.

Fit Review Friday – Banana Republic Summer Items

…Republic. As per usual, you can find my measurements for comparison here. Banana Republic Drapey Trench // Size petite xxs $198 First up, this great trench!

Petite XXS at Banana Republic!

…Republic website. A new size is popping up, and it’s tiny! When I called a Banana Republic representative, she told me they are doing a “test run” on a new petite size XXS to see how it sells.

She also told me the BR petites are selling very very well, which is a positive sign that BR will continue to expand their petite line. Petite Kaleidesco…

Banana Republic Petite Silk Camp Shirt

…ze 35 With a few Rewards Cards burning holes in my wallet, I wandered into Banana Republic not expecting to find much. The petite offerings at my local store is pitiful, so it’s rare that I find something worthwhile. Then I saw this little silk shirt hanging on the rack, and along with a few other button downs (I’m on a button down kick lately), headed to the fitting room. Silk shirts are an item that usually leaves much to be desired. Silk is usu…

Review: Banana Republic Shirred Top (PXXS) and Textured Jacket (P00)

…ping on my Banana Card. First up, the shirred top in size Petite XXS: Top: Banana Republic Shirred Top, size PXXS This top is actually pretty cute, and I was surprised to find it has a small metal washer sewn into the fabric at the neckline to help it drape correctly. Nice attention to detail BR! The fabric is nice and soft, but from past experiences, I know it’s also prone to pilling. I’m not too keen on the purple color, but the black might be p…

Review – Banana Republic Seersucker Shorts

…iful ways. Sneaking off to the mall a few weekends ago, I wandered through Banana Republic despite being unimpressed with their offerings in a while. I’m a tough cookie to impress when it comes to summer clothes. I like fitted silhouettes, saturated colors, and quirky menswear inspirations, all of which are noticeably absent on summer shelves full of floaty fabrics and soft colors. So when these seersucker shorts caught my eye, I got really excite…

…sual, you can find my measurements for comparison here. On to the reviews… Banana Republic Petite Trench Dress // Size Petite 00 This is technically a dress, but it piqued my interest for it’s possibilities as a drapey trench. The fabric is a super soft modal and the color is a slightly faded soft green, which I thought would make it a versatile piece if I could successfully wear it open as a trench. Fully snapped (it has snaps instead of buttons)…
