Banana Republic cowl neck sweater-saved by Chic n Cheap Living

Designer Thursday – Banana Republic (charity donation and 30% off until Nov 15)

November 12, 2009

Banana Republic (BR) was the “cool” store in high school. We graduated from GAP and the guys would wear those BR map or rhino lizard t-shirts and the girls would get cute sweaters.
BR was my go-to store for work apparel as well – it’s decently constructed, cute, and ALWAYS goes on sale!

I moved away from BR the last couple of years when I discovered NYC sample sales (hello Nanette Lepore!)  But they have remained a mainstay and I love how they’ve seamlessly linked sister companies like Piperlime.  Coolest of all is their charitable tie-ins.  From Nov.12 – 15, buy anything from any GAP/BR store through the GAP Give and Get Program, get 30% off your in-store purchase, and 5% of your purchase amount goes to a selected charity.  Nice!  If you can’t access this discount, let me know and I’ll e-mail it to you!

Here are some favorite items:
Cowl-neck sweater dress – looking good even in the cold and at less than $100!

Marled funnel neck sweater coat at $152 is so deliciously snuggly looking!

I’m really loving some of the jewelry lately – how kick butt would this layered pearl and chain necklace (only $48) look with just a white t-shirt?

Finally these looped chain earrings are pure California sunshine and only $36.
What, chains on ballet flats (the portia chained flat at $98) – kinda like me, sweet and a little funky. 🙂
Happy shopping!

    i got the 30% off email too!

    I think our high school must have been behind yours because we did Old Navy in jr high and then graduated to Gap in high school. oh brand loyalty… 🙂

    Oh, Banana Republic will always hold a special place in my heart because a lot of my fiance’s undershirts come from there — they are soft like no other! I have no idea what they make those shirt out of, but it is heavenly. LOVE the sweater dress.
