I am all about pieces that serve multiple purposes and are affordable. It’s hard for me to buy anything for a single serve use. When Banana Republic sent me these chic pants, I knew they would be the perfect work to weekend piece. Their slim fit and dark color make them super versatile. I paired them with this pleated peplum tank with an asymmetrical hem (obsessed!), a classic heeled sandal, and my all time favorite leather moto jacket (on sale for $60!!!) for a weekend look. I actually wore this exact outfit with a blazer and slides for my first day back to work. Changing up the shoes and outwear made for such an easy transition.
Let’s talk affordability. My jacket is on sale for only $60. My tank is $70. The pants and heels are just over $100. I rarely buy anything over $50-$75 if I am being honest with you. Banana Republic is always running great sales. Just last week everything on their site was 40% off, making everything in this look $70 or under. For the quality of the pieces, that just cannot be beat.
So what about you? What things do you look for when shopping?

The pleated peplum top is so pretty, and paired with the moto jacket, it’s so chic, feminine and edgy at the same time!

Love the mix of an edgy jacket with a peplum top! Such a great way to utilize pieces.
I adore the way you’ve styled these pants for a weekend look and the way you’ve styled them for the office sounds great, too, proving just how versatile they are. I have that jacket in green and love it so much, I agree it’s amazing and for the price, even better! Speaking of price, that’s part of what I look for when shopping. I love to find a great deal and usually hit up the sale section first upon entering a store, especially in my favorites like BR, when I know the quality is fantastic and you can find some great deals, too! Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you’re having a great start to your week so far!

Love this jacket and it is such a great price right now. I love a good bargain but I also love to splurge on staple pieces (that is my problem)!
