I’m an avid thrifter, and I must admit it replaced my addiction to other condiments😂 I will say that pieces from BR stand the test of time and I seek out that BR label. Their classic styles never go away like fast fashion.
That’s a great tip about BR rewards and free alterations. As a petite , I almost always need hems, arms and length of jackets shortened😊
This is so much fun!!!!
It's always such a joy to hear from you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 😃💕
love these pants. way better than the wider ones.
Great video! I have never shopped Banana Republic, but looks like I need to start! I LOVE several of the pieces you’ve shown! And the alterations right there is such an added bonus! At barely 5’ 0” I would definitely need it.
And, since you mentioned your Talbot’s haul, you need to do another! They are showing some gorgeous pastels for winter in their new catalog! Lavenders and sea greens (not their name!) that are so unusual for winter but so fresh and inviting! I loved them immediately!
Thanks again! Love your channel!
I have not been
In a BR in years. I honestly will have to see if there is one in my area.
Could you get a few of their "capsule" pieces? like the button down shirt (perfect shirt), wide leg Italian pant, etc, items that aren't just for the "Fall/Winter" :)
Ohhh ok, lovely!! I didn’t realize BR was this size inclusive! Mind you, I just recently found out that Jean sizes 32 and 33 will fit me, I thought it was waist size like men’s jeans. That alpaca sweater looks sumptuous!
They are but J Crew is even more so, I think.
I’m going to check out some of these! Thanks!
I love the Whiskey colored Barrel pants, very sharp. Also, the cashmere sweaters are really beautiful & so many beautiful colors, hard to pick just 1. Btw, you look great in the barrel pants & they look sharp with the heels. Thanks for the video! I also like BR for its jewelry too.
I have a couple of their jewelry pieces on my Christmas wish list!
Beautiful - all of the items look so nice on you. The barrel leg chinos look amazing on you😊
I have really enjoyed your videos. Such helpful hinds on a plus size frame. I love the barrel leg chino pants. Thank you !
So glad you're enjoying my videos!
I didn’t know Banana Republic sold plus size clothing.
Wow great selections! Love your kitty too!
Thank you! 😊 She's a cutie and really wanted my attention, lol.
If you tell me you want to show me something from BR I instantly know I will love it! I have been shopping there forever and there has never been anything I don’t love and their stuff lasts forever. $1500 is an investment but it is worth every penny for quality and fit.
It really is, I always love their stuff and it lasts for ages!
Lovely video! I just got some of these pieces myself and it was nice to come across your video reviewing them
Thank you for this haul, I just ordered the navy blazer today 40% off cyber Monday. Looks amazing on you 🤩
I love your suggestions! Beautiful taste
Love this content!❤
I appreciate that you get right to the point and don’t joke around. You come across as very professional👏
I really love your tips,they give me inspiration and confidence that I can find clothes that suit me! Thank you❤❤❤
I'm so glad!
Thank you for checking out brands that make flattering clothing to put the best you in everyday life. I do agree sometimes $1,500 is not going to be for all but I can definitely see myself checking out the ones that most flatter me. I used to favor thrifting but my beliefs do not allow me to think I could come back with something extra spiritually speaking… I am more okay with accepting from the original owner of gently or well maintained clothes.
Lovely haul❤
You're most welcome!
Beautiful items. ❤❤❤❤ Going to start checking With BR.
Great job BR!
They've stepped it up, even though they've always been up there with their quality. 💕
Love Banana Republic clothes!❤
The BR and F is one of my faves, and I’ve easily spent that and more for this season. The quality is there in the majority of those items. Also, we need to find our comfort level in our clothes. I’m not the sloppy-length pants that are so in style now.
I stand in agreement- I absolutely love everything you tried on too. My husband is gonna be soooo mad at you!😉
In the past month, I have rediscovered Banana Republic, and must say, I feel terrible that I stopped shopping there for years because I associated them with being part of the Gap and Old Navy umbrella, which I only took issue with because they were faster fashion that wasn't particularly good and their prices rose more than I liked. Both BR and BR Factory have impressed me so much in my recent hauls. BR Factory has gorgeous thicker satin pants that came in 16P and they are so stunning and drapey. I also invested in multiple staple items at Athleta. I am in Texas, so I like their blazer and Brooklyn Heights pants that are relatively lightweight, but decently tailored.
I haven't had a chance to try BR factory, it's on the list though. 😉
Lovely, thanks
Thank you too!
You look gorgeous in everything. I’d want to keep it all too!
I just found out that they carry up to a twenty and I am so glad I found your review!
My favorite piece you tried on was the charcoal gray alpaca sweater. You should keep it and cherish it for years. I also would like to ask for some guidance on pant lengths. I am so confused right now as to what is current and what is flattering. Thanks as always. 😊
You look great! Wonderful picks!!!
I’m happy to see longer pants. I’m sick to death of shooter ankle pants. I love wen slacks break on the top of shoe but don’t drag on floor.
The barrel pants look great on you!
Thank you! I really like them.
THANK you
I love Banana Republic!
Beautiful selections!! My budget maybe broken but I look stylish. 😂
For the alpaca sweater cardigan, you mentioned using a debobbler. Any good recommendations that won’t ruin the garment?
I love the few BR pieces i have. I need more quality like this❤
I've been wanting to try this brand but wasn't sure because I'm an 18/20. Thank you!
Reconsider the chinos.
black dress looks good
Thank you!
I just realized that we use the same hangers. I love them. I need to pick up another pack at Walmart, I’ve been shopping a bit too much. 😂
I just grabbed more during Amazon Prime day for the same reason! 🤦🏻♀️😆
@@Oralia_Martinez 😁👍
I’m 5’10”. When I look at the length of items on you, I know they will generally be too short for me sadly. I was able to get tall version of some pants
Very beautiful you look so pretty . Can't afford that I can get similar clothing from target Walmart or whatever . I am happy you can afford this .
I also love to find treasure at places like Walmart or Target - and that happens a lot. I'll be bringing more affordable hauls and style tips soon! 😉
I am also a big fan of merino wool.
Banana has always been my go to
Same!
I;ve been looking for an Alpaca sweater to invest in. Was looking at Sezane but see now that BR has one. Have you ever tried Sezane?
Beautiful! I am so getting the ponte dress number 1. I wanted your wise advice - I recently presented a situation with a plantar fasciitis that is really bothering my feet. I am trying to keep my shoes as comfortable as possible . Last night a bought a pair of black loafers- but not a lot - do you think I would be able to pull them off in the office ? Any good ideas for your number 1 fan? I need to get better soon and continue wearing my beautiful cap toe shoes I got with your suggestions. Thanks so much in advance . ❤ Maria .
I just recently picked some loafers up. Stay tuned, I'm doing a shoe recommendations and how to style video this next week. 😉
1500$ should be a drop in the bucket for you if you can afford to spend 590$ on your Valentino belt!🤣
Nice pieces! Is the Merino wool itchy? And is there plenty of room in the upper arms of the blazer?
Also, how do you keep cat hair off your clothes? I go thru so many sticky rollers and I still have pieces coming out of the wash with cat hair on them! I only have one cat, but he shed a lot. I've tried the rubber paw shaped thing you put in the washer and I've tried the little balls you put in the dryer and nothing works!!!!
May I ask who you have styled for?
BR is not in my size range (working on it though). But they do have nice pieces.
Hello, please find more pieces in 3x/2x
of course you can't get quality stuff at walmart like BN
I’d like to know what size you got in the cashmere sweater? We are close to the same size and I really liked it and am thinking of ordering it! Thanks in advance.
Of course! I grabbed it in the XXL. 😉
Thank you so much!!
It looks lovely on you too
I love all of the beautiful knitwear but alas am allergic to all kinds of wool which really grieves me. The first dress you wore is stunning, I may try it on. I’m five feet nine inches and a size 22/24, so it’s always a gamble.
Thanks for all you do for us!
Btw I adore your Pussycat. I have four and always love to meet other pussycat ladies. Jo from England. Xxx
Thanks, she's a hoot! It depends on where you carry weight, if you have a slender waist, the 20 (or XXL) may work, since it has a bit of stretch.
Do you find their pants stretch out after a few hours of wear? I hate when that happens! I wish that could be noted in videos. You put the pants on and they fit great and after 2 hours at your desk they are way too big. :’(
No, they stay pretty true to size throughout the day.
Banana Republic doesn't carry true plus sizes, up to 20 is like extended regular size. Plus sizes do start at 14, but made for a more curvy body. Maybe Banana Republics can extend to 22-24. J.Crew has a better true to size plus/extended size for more curvy girls. Thanks tho.
I love Banana Republic, however I disagree with you in regards to the length of th pants. A pant should hit the top of your foot, otherwise it looks sloppy. It also cuts off your leg. Do your research and you will realize that is the appropriate way to wear a pair of pants.
I must disagree with you on the “appropriate” pant length. Some ladies look and feel better at different lengths. And isn’t that what this channel is about. Looking and feeling our best!
Thank you for this BR haul video. Very informative! Can you plz link the maroon top you’re wearing? I don’t see the link in the description. Thank you!
I quit watching when you said Banana Republic doesn’t carry petite plus. I watch your channel for petite plus. Regular never fits me. Never. I’m short everywhere.
