I’ve ordered a few things here and there from Banana Republic lately. Though I returned everything but one item in this post I thought I’d share the IRLs in case any of you are interested in them. My previous reviews are {here}.
Banana Republic Chambray Shift Dress, size 6 – This dress just fit and I’d feel better in a size 8. I material felt nice and soft, very Chambray and not denim-like. I wanted to exchange this for an 8 but feared that it wouldn’t be available online when I sent it back. Non of my 4 stores have received this yet so I just returned it outright.
Exposed zipper…
The Hampton Pant is my new favorite pant. These are the Hampton Fit Crop in a Regular 6 Short. I love that there are different inseams (Regular, Short, Long) and Petite sizing for these pants. The color is Flirty Pink. They fit amazingly well and though I liked these I have a pair of Cafe’ Capri in the same shade I still haven’t worn so they were returned. I also have the Emerald Print Crop in 6 Regular that I still need to wear.
I saw the Gold-Button Blazer in Cocoon in the store back in January but my size was not available. I ordered a size 8 when it was 50% off. Unfortunately I don’t think even a 10 Petite would work for me. I didn’t like where the buttons hit, way too low. The sleeves were crazy long as well. This was just ill-fitting all over so I returned it.
Though I didn’t keep the dress, I really did like it. And the pants are a definite love! I will be trying more colors as they come out.
What have you tried at Banana Republic lately?
I can't even remember the last time I step foot in Banana Republic. I generally shop in J.Crew (of course) but I've been mixing in more Gap lately.
Oh, please reconsider that chambray dress. It just looks fabulous on you!!!! It would look really cute with your new navy TB sandals too. 🙂
Fshnonmymind – It's on promo right now with another 40% off so I re-ordered it in the size 8. Hopefully that one will work!
AudreyBella – that picture of you on the left up top is just beautiful!
Thanks Wendy! It was my "Big Hair Don't Care" day.
I agree with Wendy! Your outfits look great (as always) but you hair is looking particularly lovely! Longer hair really suits you!
Thanks for the reviews! I love those pink pants, the fit looks great. I saw the dress on Gigi's blog and ordered it in two sizes to try. My regular size just fit, but I ended up going up a size in it and had more breathing room (literally!). I really like it, now if only it were warm enough to wear it!
