You can always count on Banana Republic to run a good promo every week. They are putting more of their new arrivals as BR Picks which are normally excluded from promos but I have found that maybe once a month they are included as well. I had time on my hands, empty nest does that, and Banana had a tiered promo at that time. Spend a certain amount and get an set amount off.

~ Ruched Gray Jersey Skirt, also in Black, size Medium ~

I loved this skirt as soon as I put it on. I could have walked out wearing it. Unless your office is very casual I would stick to wearing this on the weekend. It’s a great little skirt to throw on with a cute casual top and some flats or booties and still be very comfortable for the day. This is a little stretchy and the Medium fit me well. I brought this home with me. 

~ Perforated Faux-Leather Pencil Skirt, size 6 ~

I loved this skirt as well. This is very form-fitting in the size 6 but there was not a size 8 to try on. If I needed this, I would have bought this size and Spanx-ed it. I thought this was real leather as it felt similar to the leather skirts I tried on below. Only when I looked at the price did I realize this was faux-leather. 
~ Leather Fit-and-Flare Skirt, Black (also Burgundy), size 8 ~
This was a little snug in the fitted area of the skirt but otherwise felt TTS. The leather was luxe and gorgeous, even in the black. This is available in Burgundy online and I’m sure it is even more beautiful in that color. I’d still stick with the size 8 in this skirt. 

Another great leather skirt that BR did very well. The pleats start a little lower on the waist so I don’t feel they make the hips look any wider. The pleats are all the way around. It looks like this is sold out online but I know I’ve seen this in a couple of my stores. I wish BR would keep the link available even if an items sells out since there is a “store search” feature. 

Here are a few more of my skirt pics from Banana Republic, including a beautiful Burgundy Midi Skirt (tall ladies!).
