Black & White Floral Skirt – It’s Banana!

I’m excited to be bringing you my second look with Stuttafords today, and it’s a look that has me going Bananas!

Lately, I’m all about skirts and Banana Republic has such amazing ones in beautiful black and white!

It doesn’t get better than this!

To be honest, I’ve never found high-low skirts to be very appealing. They are always too short in front and too long or again too short at the back and just look weird.

But then, along came this Banana Republic skirt and I’m totally obsessed with it!

It fits so beautifully and the cut is universally flattering. Plus it also has pockets – perfect for that street style look, and it can be worn in so many ways!

I decided to stick with black and white for this lookbook, but this skirt would also look amaze with a pair of cute sandals and a crop top, or a pair of lace up boots (yes, you heard me) and a denim shirt tucked in for a bit of an edgier look that’s still fun and feminine.

I’m wearing it with another great piece, also from Banana Republic – a gorgeous sheer black top that is once again, beautifully cut.

When I first saw it hanging on the rails, I was like, “hell no, that is asking for cleavage revealage”, but surprisingly, when I tried it on, it fits like it was made for me – perhaps it was? Ha!

And the bag…. This beaut is also from Banana Republic and it is totes-amazing!

It’s so roomy, you can literally tote everything you need with you everywhere. I even popped in some fresh blooms, because, why not?

So yeah, this is my very first touch of Banana Republic. Why, I don’t own every piece they’ve ever made, I will never know – their clothes are amazing!

But it’s not only the clothing that’s amazing, it’s the beautiful cut of each piece that makes this brand special. It’s one of the few brands that I’ve tried on in the fitting room and had a tough time  choosing – I loved every piece and I’m certainly saving to go back for more!
