Ok, so I know it’s only November 1st, BUT I promise you the holidays will be here faster than you expect. It’s like this every year for me. I get excited about Halloween, then sad that it’s over and then somehow within seconds it’s already Thanksgiving. Y’all might remember my Banana Republic Collaboration back over the summer (you can click here), well I’m back with another collab! While I was in the store shopping I was also able to stock up on some more clothes. They had such amazing deals and I opened up a Banana card. I completely forgot there was one right down the road from me so this can be dangerous for my bank account!
Now that I’ve lost so much weight I have more confidence and I feel more comfortable in my own skin. Even though Banana Republic is great at having all different sizes, I felt like certain things didn’t look good on me because of my size. I’m happy to announce that I was able to fit into a size 4 the day I went shopping! I was so extremely excited. It was a good day for my self esteem that day.
I went shopping with my mom and we made it into a girl’s day out. Tomorrow’s outfit was actually picked out by my mom, she said that she could picture me in it so stay tuned because I purchased a lot of fun clothes from Banana and I cannot wait to show all them off. The fall collection is definitely my favorite. There was sooooo much to choose from and I love that their pieces are versatile. You can dress them up or down, for the office, or for a night out. For example this dress, you could easily put on a casual blazer or even a jean jacket with some flats and you’re ready for a casual date night. Or you can dress it up with this faux fur shawl. I’m going to be honest with y’all, this will probably be what I wear to my company holiday party. I love this look and it’s so comfortable. It covers up a lot, but I still feel sexy in it.
Ok, I can’t help it. Here’s a sneak peek to tomorrow’s outfit with Banana too!

OK, so I was at Banana Republic last weekend and picked up a few things including the dress, shoes and jewelry I wore to a wedding I was at last Saturday. I too opened a BR card and got some great deals on my store. That dress is gorgeous. They have it in gray and I want it. And girl we are the same size!
I need to buy the necklace and peplum raglan top and that dress in grey. I'd love to collaborate with Banana Republic, too. Their holiday collection is on fire.
P.S. Your best outfit of 2016, hands down!
