I can't believe we're halfway into September and it'll officially be fall in a week. I am looking forward to sweater weather and wearing my cashmere pieces again. It's been awhile since I've shopped at Banana Republic and right now they are giving 40% off with code BRCARDPERK. This is for card holders only.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size Petite XS in Banana Republic. I also wear size 4/6 in Lululemon.
This Doman sleeve top caught my eye. I love the boxy drape and it's not too cropped, it hits right at my belly button. I do think the proportions are too big for my petite frame though. I don't think I can pull it off as well as the model on the website. That said, I love this shade of green. It's a very gray based green.
The fabric is thick heavy cotton-jersey, much heavier than I expected, but it is a fall piece. The fabric feels very soft and drapes well. Everything about this piece is high quality and I do think Banana Republic is worth checking out more often.
Next up, we have their Oversized Denim Shirt in Dark Rinse. It's very soft denim and mid-weight, perfect for fall season. The black denim has a slight sheen to it. It is very oversized. I'm wearing size XXS and the length is too long. When I placed my order the website did not have petite sizing for this particular piece, but as of this post, they are offering this top in petite! I placed another order for this in Petite XXS. I will post an update when I get it.

You can really see the sheen in this photo. It's definitely not dull.
I do love the details of this shirt. The split hem and the shorter front/longer back make an interesting piece that can be worn buttoned up or open. The sleeve are too long as usual but it looks great with the sleeves rolled up.
The back is too long and I'm hoping the petite version will be a little shorter. Banana Republic hasn't been this exciting, at least to me, in a long time. I'm going to see if there's anything else I want to try with their 40% off sale right now.
What do you think? Are they having a come back? They do have some cashmere pieces I want to check out. That's it for me! Hope you all have a fabulous Monday!

I think the long length of the shirt kind of works, for leggings type of tight bottoms (although you don’t wear leggings anymore) but I can see it kind of going together well.
ReplyDeleteHi AC! Agree, it would look great paired with leggings or skinny pants. I still have a couple of pairs of leggings left for just in case! =D
