Delight in Banana Republic

I'm spoiled because there is a BP outlet where I grew up. I didn't shop there much in high school (even though I worked next door at GAP and got a discount) but now I am a big fan. It's just so grown-up. So when I need to pretend I am a professional, I get inspiration from BP.


Today I am loving this sheath dress:


I love the look with heels, or even tall boots. Either way, it works. I would probably use a skinny belt to polish the look off- place it at the smallest point of the waist and voila. Extra-slimming. Check out the dresses featured currently at BP for varying body types. It'll give you great ideas of what you should look for depending on your shape.



My only qualm-- all the dresses are modeled by girls of identical shape. Seriously? Why not show a real representative of that body type?
