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?
Loving that sweater dress! I enjoy BR for basics and their jewelry is always fun, too!
I bought those flats a fews ago and I love them. Highly recommended!
these are some amazing pieces! and at a discount and good cause:)
these discounts are the best because they go to a good cause 🙂 I am planning to add more sweaters to my work collection
These are perfect! You always find such great stuff…and for a cause?! LOVE IT.
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.
I am so in love with that sweater. Fab find!
