Whether I’m looking for casual cool or extraordinarily chic styles, one of my favorite places to shop is Banana Republic. Admittedly, I am a BR Luxe cardholder because I shop with them that much. I am online or in-store at least once a week, eagerly awaiting new items or playing around with my shopping cart. I still remember the first thing I bought there in high school — a pair of olive green trousers that I kept for 15 years. I only gave them up because I was no longer a size zero. That’s the best thing about Banana Republic. I know I’ll find classic pieces that will last me for years to come. Your money is well spent there. And with fashion to fit most of life’s moments, it’s truly #YourLifeStyled.
#YourLifeStyled: The Perfect Dress
Sometimes when shopping at Banana Republic, I find unexpected items that turn into major fashion moments. When I wore this leopard print maxi to a Christmas party last month, everyone was gushing at how beautiful it looked. I knew it was a special piece when I tried it on. From every angle, it looked amazing on me. The fit was so flattering from the cinched waist to the flowing fabric and the gorgeous graphic animal print. I ordered it in a regular size and I’m normally a petite. So I was surprised to see just how well the length worked for me. Additionally, all 14 of the reviews online were stellar with titles like, “A Knock-Out”, “Winner!”, “Lost for Words”, and “This Dress is EVERYTHING!!!” I knew I had found a gem and I encourage all of you to give this dress a try.
#YourLifeStyled: The Versatile Clutch
Banana Republic truly is a one-stop shop for your fashion needs. I have more jewelry in my case from them than I can count, including a 10-year-old pavé crystal flower ring that still gets mad compliments. I also have several bags from them, including this Large Stripe Zip Pouch. Their handbags are always well crafted. This one is 25% off right now. It’s the perfect addition to my collection because I am a sucker for stripes. Plus it packs a punch with a simple and casual look. Wear it on it’s own as a clutch, or keep it in a larger tote to separate your items. Leave your tote at work, and carry this clutch with you for a night out.
A Lifelong Fan
Most of my friends are equally as enthusiastic about Banana Republic as I am. At least a few of them worked there in college. And I usually happen to run into someone I know in the store. I truly feel at home when I’m shopping there. Let’s just say it’s one of my happy places where everything feels familiar and I know I’ll always find something I love.

I’ll have to admit, I haven’t shopped at Banana in a while, but when I recently went in, I was so shocked to see how much it has changed. Their style has become more modern, edgy, and also still maintains the classy feel as they always have. this leopard dress is stunning and such a winner indeed. the everyday clutch is also fun for year round and i love the blues. thanks for sharing these amazing br pieces. xoxo, Christine

Yup my opinion of Banana has definitely changed over the years. I used to consider it more of a work separates place, kind of like Ann Taylor. But these days they have great pieces to mix and match for casual everyday to office and night out style. And there’s some edgier pieces for those of us that are more fashion forward.
Love both looks but that leopard print dress is amazing. Happy New Year!

That animal print dress is stunning!!! I love animal print and it will NEVER go out of style. And I love maxis! It’s so awesome to see that you can dress it up for all seasons. PS that clutch is so unique! I love stripes too and a nice blend of blue is always an extra star for me. I actually haven’t shopped in BR before but seeing this definitely makes me want to pay a visit.

That’s one of the few stores from the US we don’t have here in Europe and it makes me gutted as I love their stuff. That leopard on you is just amazing (and yes, I do have a thing for leopard prints, haha).

I’ve actually never worn banana republic’s clothes before, but I heard they’re brand is great for finding things to wear for the office. My image of banana republic was that the style was always more on the conservative side but your leopard print dress looks amazing. I’ll definitely need to check out the store next time.

They do have good office attire, but their brand has become so much more. There’s a lot of classic pieces you can mix and match with your wardrobe. And they’re such good quality that you’ll wear them for years to come. They also implement a lot of trends in each collection like this season, ruffles and bell sleeves, so you know you’re getting fun pieces with high quality.
Great outfits. I love your leopard maxi dress. It look incredible on you and a total keeper
