I'm 20 yrs old...and I have recently decided to change my style and started shopping for more sophisticated, sleek, classic clothing. I am tired of wearing abercrombie and hollister, and my mom has informed me that i need some "normal" clothes like a nice suit, some skirts, different nice pants, fitted sweaters, colorful jackets and blazers and lots of jewelry. So i went to banana to see what i can find....and i found SO MUCH! It is my new favorite store! I bought so many nice skirts and sweaters and shirts from there and I am just in love with their style. It's so classy and feminine. Too bad everything is really expensive at first, but I know they have great sales. I just got back $130 from price adjustments. Anyway, their new spring clothes are out and I seriously want to buy it all. Gorgeous coats and skirts and shoes!! So much to buy...but not enough money! Just thought I'd share!
BR's Spring line is definitely pretty, I have my eye on several things. I would also suggest checking out other stores such as H&M and Club Monaco if you have them in your area. You'll find similiarly sophisticated and more polished clothes.
BR is a great store. Just keep an eye on the items you like b/c they don't take that long to go on sale. I got a skirt over the weekend that was regularly $98 for $30.
