Happy Friday! This week has been stressful to say the least. I came back from my week long vacation without doing any work and had 100 emails waiting for me. Then on Wednesday I had to go to the dentist to get my first crown because I cracked my tooth eating something. For the life of me I cannot remember what it was that cracked my tooth. All I remember is the shooting pain in my mouth. On top of that it's been freezing here in Atlanta the past couple of days, but now it's back to 60s and low 70s, which is perfect. I cannot wait to wear these two pieces from Banana Republic.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 and typically wear size XS/PXS in Banana Republic.
Herringbone Jaquard Sailor Sweater Size XXS

This sweater caught my eye immediately. I love the buttons and the oversized collar. I'm wearing size XXS and I think it's the perfect fit with room to layer a button up shirt underneath. I would definitely recommend a layer underneath because the sweater is slightly itchy. It's a blend of merino wool, cotton, nylon, and alpaca.
Here are some more photos without the button up shirt underneath. I think it looks great on its own, but it is slightly itchy.
Herringbone Jaquard Sailor Sweater Size XXS
The herringbone adds texture and there is some blue undertones which I love. It's so subtle but you can see it in the below photo. I think it looks very unique.
Okay, I am going to be honest, I really love suede this fall season! When I saw this suede jacket I was immediately interested, but it wasn't until I felt the suede in person that I had to have it. The suede feels silky. It's so soft and moves with you.
Heritage Suede Jacket Size XS
It's meant to be oversized, and for the most part, I love it except for the sleeves. They're really long and very wide. I did cuff the sleeves and the design is simple enough that I can get them hemmed and I think I will, eventually.
I'm wearing size XS. I wish the XXS was available, but that size has been sold out for months and I could only find an XS. The length hits mid thigh. It's roomy enough that I can easily wear my thickest sweaters underneath and it wouldn't be a problem.
The color is a gorgeous shade of camel. The color is nicely saturated. Banana Republic really hit it out of the park with this jacket. The quality is top tier. The suede is in a league all by itself. It's not heavy at all, it's on the thinner side and drapes so well.
The pockets are nice and deep. When you think this jacket cannot get any better, the inside lining is just beautiful. All the little details that went into this jacket is why I love Banana Republic again! It is a bit too big for me, but I don't think I can make myself return it. I may eventually get the sleeves hemmed, but for now I'll wear it as it is.
What do you think of these two pieces? Let me know if you have a favorite suede jacket. That's it for me, hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

So sorry about your tooth! I also cracked a tooth while eating and the pain was incredible. I couldn't even smile while talking to people. The sweater is adorable, but I've given away every itchy sweater I've bought because I don't reach for them, so I told myself I can't make that mistake anymore!
ReplyDeleteHi there! OMG I was shocked at how painful it was. I'm feeling better now, but I am hoping when I go back for the permanent crown it won't be as invasive.
DeleteI know, I fear that might be the case with me, but because I have already planned out with button ups I can wear the sweater with, I am hoping I will reach for it every so often!
