Happy Friday! Have I mentioned how much I am loving Banana Republic's fall collection? I'm really impressed with the direction they have taken lately. It reminds me of their golden era in the 90s and 2000s. They've gone back to using high quality fabrics and the designs have been very on trend without being too trendy. I love that they've brought back some of their heritage pieces. Last week at the store, the Corduroy Insulated Bomber Jacket caught my eye.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XSS/XS in Banana Republic. I also wear size 4/6 and XS/S in Lululemon.
One thing I will note, a lot of their items are not available in petite sizing. They do offer size XXS which sometimes can work. For this jacket I am wearing size XS. The length of the jacket is perfect. It has a boxy fit, but it still works on my petite frame.
The corduroy is super soft and has a nice hand feel. I also love the pockets! The jacket has a zip front with snap closures. Price is $250 but I was able to get it with the 30% off promo they had going on. BR has sales pretty often, similar to Athleta. If it's not on sale now, just wait a bit.
The inside lining was the thing that made me pull the trigger. It is so soft and filled with extra insulation. I can't wait for the temperature to drop some more so I can wear this out! I did place an order for two more items. I have the Herringbone Jaquard Sailor Sweater and the Heritage Suede Jacket (most likely returning because it's going to be too big on my frame but I am dying to see it in person).
That's it for me! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
