Reviews: Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Loft and White House Black Market

Outfits|May 5, 2014
Banana Republic Lemon Print Fit and Flare Dress
Dress: Banana Republic – size 00P (buy here or skirt version)
Measurements of 00P: shoulders 11″, armpits 14″ waist 12″, length 33″
I adore this dress! It fits me perfectly w/out any alterations. The dress is fully lined but appears to be wrinkle prone (98% cotton). Would recommend. 
Banana Republic petite gingham shirt
Banana Republic Gingham – size 00P (buy here)

Finally a petite gingham shirt that fits! It’s fitted plus non-iron and the sleeves are slim. I saw b/w in the store but navy is available online. Ican finally retire my ill fitting boys gingham shirts! Woo hoo! Would recommend.

White House Black Market Pink Tweed Jacket
White House Tweed Jacket – size 00 regular (buy here)
BR Factory Striped Dress and Chainlink Skirt

Left: BR Factory navy striped flare dress {style #949214-00-1} $55 after 50% off, Right: Chain link skirt {style #949587-00-1} $35 after 50% off
Both of these items are super cute, they didn’t have a 00P in the striped dress so I’m trying on a 0P which was loose and big in the waist/chest. 00P should fit perfectly. The chain link skirt is slightly roomy but super cute. Both are unlined. Would recommend. 

BR Factory Navy Polka Dot Skirt
BR Factory navy polka dot jacquard skirt {style #949588-00-1} – $35 after 50% off
I didn’t get to try this on but it looks promising and is fully lined.
BR Factory Striped Cotton Dress
BR Factory b/w striped slub dress – size XXSP {949515-00-1)

This comes with a matching sash but I took it off and think it looks better w/out it. On sale for $16. Super comfortable and fits well. Would recommend.
Tip: If you have a AAA membership, use it to get an extra 10% off your purchases. This is not combinable with paper or email coupons but is stackable on store promotions. 

Loft Factory Floppy Hats
Loft factory floppy hats {style #322548 + 322552} – on sale for $14.99 

If you don’t have a factory near you, Ann Taylor has a a similar dot bow straw hat. If you need a striped floppy hat, Target has an identical one here.Ann Taylor Factory Polka Dot Shift Dress

Ann Taylor factory {style #339261} – size 00P (on sale for $40)

This runs big and will need the waist and sides slimmed. It reminds me of my F21 navy polka dot dress but w/out sleeves. The material is well made and the dots are textured. Fully lined and would recommend.

  10. Hi there, I think your website could be having internet browser compatibility problems.
    When I look at your site in Safari, it looks fine however,
    if opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping issues.

    I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other than that,
    fantastic website!
