It’s incredible how fast the years go by and how many things you end up accumulating along the way. Before you know it you are the woman who lived in her shoe, surrounded by a mountain of clothes the size of Everest that you haven’t touched in 5 years. And let’s not even talk about the handbags that have claimed their own entire walking closet. With clothes taking up their own residence, how is that we still complain that we have nothing to wear? As we teetered on the edge of becoming that lady dwelling in her shoe, we knew that there had to be a solution to the madness.

I used to shop at Banana for all of my work attire back when I had a 9-5er because I knew the fit would always be on point, that their clothing would hold up and would be reasonably priced. Now that I am self employed, I don’t need the suits and work dresses that I once did but I still head into Banana for my wardrobe staples. The thing I love about Banana Republic is that they put a twist on the classics and keep their pieces updated and new without being overly trendy. I know if I invest in a piece from Banana that I will get tons of wear out of it and will have it for years to come. If you are looking for wardrobe staples that you will get your cost per wear out of, then Banana Republic is the place for you. This is also one of my go-to stores to buy holiday gifts because I know that if I give something from Banana that they will love it or they can easily exchange it for something that suits them better.
