I'm so suggestible, you guys. I posted a pic of a striped top I tried on at Banana Republic a few weeks ago and reader Ally was all, "You should get that" so the minute it went on sale, I totally did:
It’s the French Terry Balloon-Sleeve Couture Sweatshirt and it’s $35 right now! That’s a fair price for this top because even though it's technically a sweatshirt it's really just a very nice French terry top with crazy sleeves. So nice! I’m trying really hard to not buy it in the grey color as well.
It's hard to tell but the stripe is a very dark navy, not black. BR has a lot of really cute striped tops right now (and also one or two that made me do a Kermit face.) This one is cute and flirty and this one with the boatneck is a straight classic. I also like this little striped tee with the ruffle hem though I don't know that I could pull it off.
Lucy stopped by to say hello. Isn't she getting big? She likes my shiny black jeans which are the Madewell High Riser Coated Skinny aka my favorite jeans ever. I wear them way too much but I love how they kinda look like leather. If you don't want to pay Madewell prices Gap has a nicely discounted pair of black coated jeans and H&M has a suuuuper cute pair with zip detailing.
Looks good from the back! I mean, it says it right up there on the masthead. Duh. Details:
I'm not wearing much jewelry today - just a Madewell necklace from a few years back. This Treasure Pendant necklace has a similar vibe and I like the Curvelink pendant as well. Such good minimal styles.
My bag is an old MBMJ Globetrotter Kirsten which occasionally shows up on eBay - this one in red looks pretty good. For other options, there's a cute blue MJ nylon hobo at Nordstrom Rack and check out this blue leather Liebeskind satchel! I also really love this blue suede saddle bag from French Connection. Gorgeous.
That's it for today! Please stop making me buy stuff, you guys. It's really mean and I would never do that to you. J/K
It's a relief to see that the power of suggestion works both ways... Waiting on that BR boucle sweatershirt thing you posted on Friday. Hope it's as good as your cute striped shirt here!
ReplyDeleteI hope it works for you!
DeleteI mean, pretty much all of your suggested stuff has been spot on, so I expect nothing less than successs (loove that pixi double cleanse). Don't think you get kickbacks if I purchase through ebates / coupon cabin, tho?
ReplyDeleteI don't actually know! But I'm really glad you like my suggestions - the Pixi Double Cleanse is so freaking good, isn't it?
DeleteLol, right back at you! It really looks fantastic on you. I'm eyeing it, too, though they don't have the stripe version on the Canadian site. How's the sizing?
ReplyDeleteTrue to size. I am wearing a small which is what I usually get in tops from Banana. I'm sorry the striped version isn't on the site - maybe you can find it in store?
