Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Banana Republic’s Leaf-Print Top

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend. We've liked this lovely cowl-necked, scoop-necked top since we saw it — it's a fun, happy, pretty thing that would look great with gray trousers and a white cardi, or beneath a black suit (maybe accented with sapphire jewelry). It's machine-washable, it's opaque, and it's on part of Banana Republic's latest markdowns (yet the green is still available in lots of sizes). It's now $29.99 (was $39). Women: Leaf-print top – Spearmint
