Hope you all had a nice weekend! It's so hot here that I have been living in my linen pieces. Linen shorts, linen tops, and linen button-ups. I have a handful of linen pieces from Athleta and a few from Banana Republic. Between the two brands, Banana Republic has some of the nicest linen I've ever felt.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS or PXS in Banana Republic and Athleta.

I normally wear hoodies all the time, but now that it is summer, it's too hot for a hoodie. In its place I like to wear a button-up to throw over my summer outfit. I am loving The Everyday Linen Shirt. The linen is super soft and lightweight. I like to wear it over a tank or tee. I'm wearing size XS and the fit is true to size. I love the Natural color and White. Both colors will go with any outfit. I would have bought both except the retail price is $95. It's not terrible, but I am going to wait for a sale. Both colors are saved in my cart and ready to go! Banana Republic also has a short sleeve cropped version that I am interested in as well. I really like the stripes version as it adds a little bit of fun and flair.

That's it for me! Keeping it short and sweet. Have a fabulous Monday! Stay cool.

Have you ever checked out Quince linen items? Very affordable and very good quality for the price. Same with their cashmere.
ReplyDeleteHi there, I have looked at their website but cannot tell if the returns are free or not. Are you familiar with BR and Quince linen? Curious to see if anyone has a comparison. I've read some reviews and they seem very hit or miss.
DeleteUnfortunately I don't shop at Banana anymore! Too many good and affordable things on Quince. lol The returns/exchanges on Quince are free for up to 365 days, in unwashed/worn condition with tags still attached.
DeleteGood to know! I may give it a shot and see since the returns are free. There is one shirt I am interested in, but the cut doesn't look very petite friendly.
DeleteI've watched youtube reviews of Quince items for petites - some things work, some don't. Sometimes Quince offers 3 different lengths for pants, which is really nice.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sending! I will have to watch it later, but good to know BR is better. I have tried J.Crew's linen and wasn't as impressed.
