Banana Republic

Banana Republic or the Row?!

Simple + stylish ways to restyle old faves into new outfits. For those who want to shop their closet, but crave fresh, elevated everyday outfits. Mama’s here! But keep keep this our little secret. Shop your closet!

I love to find beautiful pieces that I’ll wear and rewear for years, but I’m actually not a big fan of the online shopping experience unless it is from a trusted advisor or resource. So, I dip into my closet to skip the middle man and put together a new look with what I already own.

If I had to pick one tip, it would be this one! It always works. Just like white denim in winter always work. Give it a try and let me know.

Personal style does not have to be complex or time consuming. But it does need to be beautiful and enjoyable.

Top 10 “statement staples” that will long live in my closet! These finds from some favorite affordable brands carried me through the winter and solved the “what to wear?!” dilemma over and over. I’ll lean on them for years to come.

Comment TEN and I’ll send them to your DM.

👀 My message might not go through unless you’re following me due to privacy settings, so tap follow. 🤍

1. The suede and gold @madewell belt that turns burning jeans into a cool girl uniform.

2. My @janewin_jewelry chunky chain necklace with rotating cast of charms.

3. The silky but not pajama thin @aritzia pants.

4. The $50 leopard knit jacket I turned into my winter personality.

5. Those structured silk pants from @reformation in both ivory and navy were huge “how did I live without these” life savers.

6. The elevated “wear everyday” ribbed shirt from @madewell

7. A $90 copper colored long sleeve silk dress from @mango that I’ll pair with strappy sandals for summer!

8. The only denim I wear thanks to button fly heaven via @madewell

9. A stack of $20 matching leggings and sports top sets that made winter workouts more fun.

10. The brocade @tuckernuck vest in my favorite chartreuse color.

💥🤍

Boden stripes! Many on sale.

The top fits more snug than I expected! I am in an XS and am usually a size 2 or 0. Do *not* size down. True to size!

For a 5 PM dinner in a strip mall… Here, I sported a chartreuse tasseled gladiator vested top (🧐) over disco ball sparkled cuffed, pleated and creased trousers (🤓), with an emerald satin evening bag and wool cardigan.

For…. A 5 PM dinner date in a restaurant next to the grocery store on a week day.

It was actually a fabulous date with my husband at our favorite locals restaurant, where I had a perfect crisp rosé with the most delicious baked salmon I’ve ever tried. Ever! I was so glad to be dolled up for what was to me a very special and festive two hours out!

Gotta get those thrills where you can! For me, getting gussied up for rather average experiences has not only put a pep on my step, but it’s become somewhat a of an inside joke among me, myself, and I. I sincerely smile and giggle at myself to see how far I can take it.
