Banana Republic's Biggest Sale Only Comes Twice a Year—Here's What I'm Buying
If, like me, you begin shopping for fall long before the season has officially commenced, then you get it. It's the most fun time to add versatile items to your closet. Fortunately for us enthusiasts, this moment aligns perfectly with Banana Republic's biggest and best sale of the year.
That's right—it's friends and family time at BR, which means 40% off purchases between now and September 26, plus free two- to three-day shipping when you spend $200 or more with code BRSHIP. It will take about three pieces to get you over that free-shipping threshold, so don't worry about filling your cart to the brim.
Keep scrolling for all the items I'm eyeing from Banana Republic's semi-annual Friends and Family sale, including silk skirts, chic tops, and the cargo pants of my dreams.
