Hello! I hope you all are having a great weekend so far. It’s been a busy one for us as we’re getting ready for both kids to start back up at school this week and have also been busy entertaining a few guests at the house! But, I had to share a pretty amazing Banana Republic sale with 50% off regular-priced items at Banana Republic (use my exclusive code PQL86JJTQVV8 — I tried it multiple times without problems but if that doesn’t work use BRFAMILY for 40% off). My dressing room posts have been really well received and I love sharing them with you all, so I hope you can take advantage of this deal with Banana Republic!
For reference, I’m 5′ tall, about 108 lbs, and typically a size 0P / XSP in Banana Republic.

The cape coat is a style I’ve obsessed over for years now and have always struggled finding one that didn’t look like I was being swallowed in fabric. I was super excited to see this one from Banana Republic and true to their classic style and petite sizing, it fit perfectly! I love the open cape sleeves that drape over the arms and it adds such a chic update to the other classic trench details. The coat does have a slight A-line swing shape but it doesn’t feel oversized, and the belt is perfect for cinching in the waist too! The fabric is light to medium weight and has a water-resistant finish to it too, making it perfect for those rainy days! You can bet that this coat came home with me and I’m already anxious for the weather to cool down so I can wear it!

I love a good blazer as they’re ideal for dressing up otherwise casual looks and petite-friendly ones are so hard to find! I love the light blue color of this one as it would be great for summers and transitioning into fall. The sleeves are about bracelet length on me but would also look super cute cuffed with the stripe lining adding contrast. I personally prefer open blazers as I feel like it’s a more modern take on the traditional blazer. This one is actually a bit of a hybrid with its single button but still sleek lapel design. I actually had the hardest time debating on this blazer and if my workplace were a bit more professional, I probably would have taken it home!

Next up from the Banana Republic Sale are my favorite work pants of all time. Seriously, if you haven’t tried the Banana Republic Sloan pants, you need to! They are hands-down the best fitting work pant! Petite friendly, flattering from every angle, and are the perfect medium-weight thickness to hold you in without being uncomfortable. I already own a pair in red (see on me) and cobalt blue (see on me), and I would probably buy them in every color if I could! For petite sizing, the inseam is 26″ and just slightly too long on me — I actually have them cuffed under about 1″ in these pictures. I also have bigger thighs and have always struggled with finding pants that didn’t make them look enormous. While the Sloans do hug my thighs, I would actually say that they’re pretty slimming!
Stripe Tie-Front Shell – $54 $27
Top: Banana Republic Stripe Tie-Front Shell – wearing XS
Bottom: 1822 Step-Hem Jeans (similar – also own + prefer!)
Belt: Gucci Double G Buckle (medium width)
I love bow details and when you combine it with stripes, well, I just couldn’t help myself when it came to this top! This top is a great layering piece for work and is so cute worn on its own too for those hot summer days. The fabric is lightweight and has good stretch too!
Sloan-Fit Zipper Pocket Bi-Stretch Pant – $98 $49
Top: Forever 21 Satin Lace-Trim Tank (similar, similar)
Bottom: Banana Republic Sloan-Fit Zipper Pocket Bi-Stretch Pant – wearing 0P
Shoes: Sam Edelman ‘Raisa’ Bow Flat – run TTS
Earrings: Amazon Flower Hoops – on sale $10!
I had super high hopes for these pants as they are my favorite Sloan style but unfortunately the visible lining of the side pockets were a no-go on me. It’s likely only an issue as I have larger thighs so if you’re slimmer than I am, give them a shot!
Stripe Pleated-Bow Top – $88 $44
Top: Banana Republic Stripe Pleated Bow Top – wearing XSP
Bottom: 1822 Step-Hem Jeans (similar – also own + prefer!)
Belt: Gucci Double G Buckle (medium width)
Earrings: Amazon Flower Hoops – on sale $10!
Yes, back with the bows and stripes! The bow accent on this top is on the more oversized side but it’s super cute against a more muted color palette. This top has a more tailored fit with angled bust and back darts along with an invisible zipper that runs along the back. I found the top slimming and such a fun piece that would be great layered under a blazer for the office too!
Fluted Tie-Sleeve Pullover – $98 $49
Top: Banana Republic Fluted Tie-Sleeve Pullover – wearing XSP
Bottom: 1822 Step-Hem Jeans (similar – also own + prefer!)
Belt: Gucci Double G Buckle (medium width)

I love that the Banana Republic sale does trends like the bell sleeve and provides a style that’s still classic. This sweater pullover is super cute and I love the more relaxed casual fit. The fabric is the super soft Merino wool blend that Banana Republic is known for. The fluted sleeves are dramatic without being overdone and this top is a great option for something fun yet office-appropriate!
Fluted Pleat-Sleeve Sweater – $88 $44
Top: Banana Republic Fluted Pleat-Sleeve Sweater – wearing XSP
Bottom: 1822 Step-Hem Jeans (similar – also own + prefer!)
Belt: Gucci Double G Buckle (medium width)
Shoes: Sam Edelman ‘Raisa’ Bow Flat – run TTS
Earrings: Amazon Flower Hoops – on sale $10!
And one last final piece from the Banana Republic sale, of course another bell sleeve top! I love that this one has pleats and is a more slimming fit than the previous. The fabric is thicker but the white is completely opaque . This piece would be so cute paired with a pencil skirt or tailored pants as the fabric lays close to the skin.
A few other pieces I’m loving:
- Leopard Haircalf Belt – closet must-have!
- Bell-Sleeve Fit-And-Flare Dress
- Long-and-lean wool blazer
- Long-sleeve soft jersey cardigan
- Floral Square Scarf – gorgeous print!
