Printed Banana Republic Wrap Dress

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Elaine

I got this dress when I was in Florida at the Banana Republic Factory store. That is always a stop off for me when in the US because they have a petites section. Little did I know that the BR Factory store near my work ALSO has a petites section LOL! I guess I can now try to fit in some lunch time shopping instead of waiting all year round to hit the BR factory store 😉

Shoes: Nine West size 7
This dress fits me quite well but I still wear a camisole underneath – it’s a wrap dress so I have to be careful about unintentional gaps. I also find that I need to be cautious about the bottom of the dress as it can split open quite high if I’m not paying attention. I’ll probably have to look for a black slip to solve both these issues.

I had seen Jean tweet a picture of Khatu and then later in the week saw her Mono Print post. Aren’t the dresses so similar?
This dress is perfectly work appropriate and I don’t think it needs much of anything to dress it up since the print is fairly bold already and there is so much contrast with black and white.

Any thoughts as to where I can find a black slip made for someone my height? (Can you even buy full length slips anymore?)

  • A quick reminder that Pride doesn’t stop after June. As I mentioned in my Pride post last year, I’m very aware of the privilege I hold as a White, cis, straight-passing queer woman. Celebrating Pride openly is not a risk to my safety. I can choose to whom I disclose my orientation and when. My identity is generally not seen as a threat or a negative thing. This is absolutely not the case for so many in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. ➡️ As companies move away from the “rainbow washing” of their branding for the month of June, please continue to
  • A moody day outside calls for some @givenchybeauty glamor! I’ve always been a fan of their Prisme Libre loose powder, and the newest addition to the Prisme Libre line is just as gorgeous. It delivers 24-hr matte finish, blurs imperfections, and contains skincare ingredients like capucine extract, annatto, and pink clay to purify and strengthen skin over time! Makeup with a side of skincare is a combo I can definitely get behind! Have you tried the Prisme Libre line from Givenchy? *products kindly gifted —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #torontopr #tbrcontributors #mytbrfave #givenchybeauty #luxurybeauty #foundation #skincaredaily #prismelibre #prismelibreskincaringmatte #skincaringmakeup #makeupessentials #makeupaddict #givenchycanada #magicdust
