From our friends at thefind.com:
I love Banana Republic, mostly when I’m looking for some stylish yet professional outfits that can take me from work to happy hour (and still manage to be dressed to impressed for both!), but I would often find myself wishing that the brand would step it up just a bit more from its redundant dress shirts, tailored pants and blazers, and silky blouses. That’s where BR Monogram comes in! Now, the BR Monogram collection isn’t new (it launched about 2 years ago), but Banana Republic’s slightly-more-upscale special collection boutique is going strong with new spring pieces that add a little something extra to the typical stylish workplace fare. For spring, Monogram boasts a bevy of long flowing maxidresses, shorter cocktail dresses (perfect for a spring or summer wedding), and plenty of pretty florals and silky fabrics. It’s less office and more special occasion, plus the pieces are made with more quality fabrics and tailoring than classic Banana Republic, making them worth the higher price point if you like what you see!
