Banana Republic

I spotted this ensemble in a Banana Republic pamphlet that was filed in the 'junk mail' pile at my house. Normally, I'm not a Banana Republic shopper, but the fact that Marissa Webb is now on board (who spent over 10 years at J. Crew) gave me reason to leaf through the pamphlet and then the above photo gave me reason enough to head to their website. I think that this is the simplest yet chicest outfits. It reminds me a lot of this outfit I wore in the early spring with these pants (Club Monaco's bringing them back again this season...they fit true to size!).  I totally plan on scooping up the grey marled sweater from BR to literally copy this outfit. Besides the fact that the pants are 'leather', it's really a very basic and classic outfit. I like that the leather makes it a bit edgier. 

I also love how they show the leather pants styled online. The look is relaxed and casual but still has a fashionable and put together look. Definitely the perfect weekend look. I'm excited for the things to come for Banana Republic. I feel like Marissa Webb is already starting to rub off! 
Both of these styles are super easy to achieve and affordable, too. Here's what you'll need:
button down shirt 

sneakers

grey sweater 

So what do you think of the look? Are you a Banana Republic shopper? Have a fabulous day!  Yours,
