We went deep undercover researching our new blog post on 1980s @bananarepublic, i.e, we went shopping! Check out our memories of shopping at the Banana Republic Safari and Travel Clothing Co, our excitement over the launch of BR Vintage, ways to style vintage BR pieces, and our musings on safari fashion in the 21st century. Also, in case you’re wondering, the Naturalist Dress and the Leather Walking Skirt have the perfect midi skirt length! More in stories!

The revival of 1980s Banana Republic designs has us running to our closet to style our 80s BR and Outback Red pieces and has us reminiscing about when going to the mall was the ultimate escape. The mall is our muse! Read more on our blog. #linkinbio #bananarepublic #vintagebananarepublictravelandsafari #vintagebananarepublic #80small #mallasmuse #fashionblog #genxstyle
