Early Spring at Banana Republic!

The temps are a little milder this week and it already has me wishing Spring was here!  Well, maybe I am more just wishing I was prepping for a little vacation somewhere sunny (which, sadly, I am not).

Fortunately, I brightened my spirits anyway with 40% off a pair of the most perfect and happy pants I have seen in years.  With a tone-on-tone textured pattern (this photo does NOT do it justice) they are so unique and fresh!  Usually I only see such detailed and textured crops at J.Crew these days (with an inexplicably rising & unjustifiable price tag) but cheers to Banana Republic for offering up some wearable & affordable sunshine with these textured pants in "butternut" yellow!  I plan on wearing mine as soon as the sun is out in April, along with a classic white tee, denim jacket, and this gorgeous white & yellow necklace I also just ordered.  That outfit is going to be impossible to wear without smiling.

Extra happiness is courtesy of the 40% off I got on both items today thanks to a one-day sale (Jan 9th) you can enjoy both online & in the Stores!   Any 2 items are 40% off!  Plus there's an additional 25% off sale items.   My total purchase today for the pants & necklace was under $100 before taxes, so with the lovely gift cards I scored at Christmas, I am still proud to say I haven't spent a dime on anything but groceries since Boxing Day!  Wish me luck as I continue to try and keep that up...especially when I'm in NYC in Feb!
