How to Make an Outfit Your Own with Banana Republic

December 26, 2016

I’m excited to be talking about how to make an outfit your own with Banana Republic today. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Banana Republic a couple times in the past. One of the fun parts about this collaboration is that they send me two items of their choosing. This is unlike most of my other partnerships where I pick the items. It always gives me an opportunity to get outside of my normal and really make an outfit my own.

Banana Republic sent this pretty dot flutter sleeve peplum top and feminine floral pink scarf. Polka dots and brighter shades of pink are not things I usually pick on my own. It was fun to get this package because I really do love both items. Since they are a little girlier than what I would normally select, I added my favorite leather moto jacket and dark jeans to stay true to my own style. I really loved how the outfit turned out which just goes to show we should step out of our comfort zones sometimes. So what about you: do you ever buy things a little outside your usual and challenge yourself to style them?

Be sure to check out Banana today because everything is 40% off with the sale items being an additional 60% off! That makes my top only $47. Gotta love those holiday deals.

    I love how you’ve styled the pieces with the black leather jacket, which now I want after I’ve been seeing you rock in some of your outfits! I have it in green, but now I’m thinking I need it in black, too, haha! Anyway, the scarf is absolutely beautiful and pairs perfectly with the polka dotted top; I love mixing florals and polka dots, they’re such a great combination! Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! Oh, and Happy belated birthday to Russ; I remember you mentioning it was his birthday on Christmas Day and Ivy’s initial due date?! How can I forget!? Haha!

    You are so perfect! I love that feminine printed scarf paired with an ultra chic, yet tough moto jacket! You’re rocking this! xo -L

    Clearly Banana Republic wants it to be spring already with those pieces! I do love the polka dots and the black leather jacket is always a good go-to for adding a bit of toughness to a look.

    Great look Amy – how fun they picked the items – it’s kind of like a styling challenge! I love that you edged up the feminine florals and polkadots look with the leather jacket. Perfection.
