Classy Chic - My Fave Style

Ok lovelies, so I was reading through my blog and realized that I haven't been doing nearly the number of posts I used to do with pictures of my outfit. That was one of the main things I wanted to blog about...not for me, but just b/c I find looking at how people put outfits together fascinating, and it always inspires me to put new outfits together when I see unusual combinations...guess I just figured other people may feel the same.

Anywho, yesterday I wore an almost 100% Banana Republic outfit. I am so loving this store and its style in my post-college, semi-professional life. BR usually features classic lines with a modern twist...right up my alley these days.



I shopped BR's sale last week and found this fab white, tuxedo style shirt with loose ties, which are fun tied up or worn loosely. I also got a merino wool sweater in gray, which I paired with the tuxedo shirt for my semi-dressy/semi-casual Monday work outfit. I also have on BR jeans and vintage Ferragamo, patent leather, black, peep-toe pumps to give the outfit a little kick...hehe...kick...get it?

Hey Anon,

I couldn't find that exact shirt...you may have better luck at a brick & mortar store. But, if you're more of an online shopper, here are a couple similar tops:
ruffle pleat front top (click)
crochet trip top (click)
Classic tuxedo top (click)
Dot-print tie-neck top (same as my white shirt but brown with white polka dots)

I highly recommend trying a store if you can...they always have more stuff than the web site, plus you can have them call other stores to try to locate the item...they've very helpful!

HTH,

:) D

I do love me some BR too. I love their jewelry the most. I am coveting the grey "pearl" necklace with the brooch and the white "pearl" necklace with black ribbons and brooch.

I got some really lovely pieces from them over time. really BR and Club Monaco are great places for affordable (esp. after sales) and quality knits.

yes! that's why i love them...quality! and when you find a good sale, it just sweetens the deal!
