30% off the Mad Men Collection at Banana Republic!
It’s really rare that Banana Republic actually puts their Mad Men Collection on sale, so if you’ve been eyeing a piece from the collection, it’s your lucky day! I actually snatched up this Peggy dress last time Banana had a sale, and I absolutely love it. The print is adorable, and it is so comfortable (it runs big, I would size down).

Striped Ponte Full Skirt Dress - $91, Banana Republic (code: BRSPRING30)
I certainly own way too many striped dresses already, and don’t need to buy this one for almost $100, but the ponte knit and the pockets are so appealing!

Daily Outfit: Go Irish!
I am all ready for a day on South Beach! I just bought these sateen shorts from Banana Republic and I love them, which is a miracle because shopping for shorts is the worst.

Hi there! I'm a faithful follower/subscriber to your blog, I love your style advice! Question - I'm looking for a reasonably-priced navy blazer; one that I could easily pair with skinny jeans or colored denim. Any idea? Would a good tailor help breathe new life into a lower-quality (cheaper) blazer? Thank you! Laura

Hey Laura! I have been looking for the same thing myself recently. I am wary of getting something too cheap (like a Forever 21 blazer) because I am worried it won’t have enough structure to it. Here are some options that I like:
Ponte Academy Blazer, $61.60 (with code GAPLIST) - I think this is a great look-for-less of J. Crew’s schoolboy blazer, although you just have to decide if ponte is the material you are looking for.
Double Breasted Blazer, $59, Mango
3/4 Sleeve Twill Blazer, $49, Dillard’s
Navy Double Breasted Blazer, $130, Banana Republic (the most expensive of the bunch, but also really good quality, and I love the gold buttons). Also if you look out for sales, I think you could definitely get this for under $100.

Navy Double Breasted Blazer, $104, Banana Republic (with code SPECIAL20)
If you love Kate Middleton’s navy Smythe Blazer (which retails for $695), you’ll love Banana Republic’s look-for-less version of this classic style.
If you’re looking for something even more budget-friendly, check out this Webster for Target blazer for only $35.
