Banana Republic: Cropped Sweater Tank, Linen Vee – Life is Short…Buy the Shoes

I don’t know why I continue to try on cropped shirts. Like Wide-Leg Cropped Pants, they fit me weird and I don’t think I’ll ever find the right one to get into the trend. I’ve even paired both for you. Take a look below…

~ Cropped Sweater Tank, Mint, Small ~

I liked the color of this sweater tank but I had to adjust to get a decent pic of this with me wearing it. This is pretty cropped, at least on me. I think, though a Medium might have given a touch more length, it would have looked really wide and boxy on me. The model image shows this as a layering piece over a long-sleeve shirt. Layering is not an option in Summer for me, unless it’s a cover-up over a swimsuit. I do still like this sweater though. It’s a little thick, for a Spring/Summer item but if you get the White or Marled Heather it will transition well into Fall and even early Winter, depending on your climate.

Yep, the two together don’t work either.

~ Linen Vee, Gray, Medium ~

Either this color sold out online or it’s darker online. I really liked it though and would have bought it had there been a promo at the time I was shopping. It’s on promo now taking 40% off with BRSUMMER. All the basic colors are available to choose from. I wear Linen Tees all Summer long and replace mine every few years. I just ordered some from Loft. I’ll review those when they come in.
