This weekend, I was packing to leave for Montana, when I realized something: I don’t own but three work blouses. Given the glacial speed of Helena, Montana’s only dry cleaners with Saturday hours, three blouses was not going to get it done. So in a pinch, my best in-person shopping option in Spokane was Banana Republic.
Like many retailers, Banana has pivoted to loungewear to accommodate the tastes of people trying to dress in a pandemic. But, with a little searching, I was able to find a few tops that will coordinate with other business attire that I already own. Many of these pieces also come in petite and tall and run from XXS to XXL.
There’s a delicate ruffle on the neck of this top that looks nice under a crewneck cardigan.
The photo of this top does not do it justice. There are white dots on a sheer black material and little velvet dots as well. And it is a special, special blouse for work or day-to-night.
This tie neck top is only available in petite online, but it’s available in stores in misses as well. Just a nice, simple basic.
In person, the fabric on this half-placket top is a heavy, opaque Tencel. It has a thickness to it that surprised me, since so many things are extra thin today.
I picked an animal print top, shocking! Or not at all. It’s a fun alternative to dots.
Short, Dolman sleeves are a nice alternative to sleeveless. This top gives you a little more coverage without the bulk.
