It has been months since I walked into my local Banana Republic (and it feels like forever since I have blogged about fashion too). Between trying not to shop very much and not loving Banana’s summer wares, a lot of time has passed. But alas, fall is around the corner and Banana is one of my favorite fall and winter stops. Their sweaters, coats and jackets are always gorgeous and rich. This fall lineup does not disappoint.

Sticking to budget, I left empty-handed but will be watching for the first round of fall goodies to go on sale. I have (kind of) learned to be patient as things go on sale pretty quickly there.

The skinny cords in navy caught my eye right as I walked in. In navy they look like a great pair of jeans but with a small, cool weather twist. I’m loving them in this plum too, though I already have a pair of plum J-Brand skinny jeans from last winter.

Not sure if the “Outfits We Love” section of the Banana website is new but it’s really helpful to get an at-a-glance overview of fall looks. I love the blog-esque layout of the page. Very smart.

The simple blazers are a smart transition from office to weekend and offer a lot of layering options. One in gray and one in navy is pretty much all you need. The blouses with a big, soft bow tie detail are also so chic. Adore!

What fall looks are you coveting right now?
