Bargain Friday’s TPS Report: Banana Republic’s Puff-Sleeve Sweater
This post may contain affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
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 don't know why we haven't noticed this sweater before at Banana Republic, because it's the exact kind of thing that we stock up on and then wear until it's falling apart. It's a cotton/nylon sweater with slightly poufed sleeves — on sale!
The blue is down to $25, but there are other colors marked to $35: black, coral, and “chocolate bunny” (a dirty khaki color). They look great on top of a white blouse, and are divine beneath a suit. They're on sale at Banana Republic. Women: Puff-sleeve sweater – Bella blue
Some of our favorite short-sleeved sweater tees include cashmere ones from Quince ($45!), Ann Taylor, Theory, J.Crew,* and Boden. (* plus sizes too!) For other materials, try Tuckernuck (cashmere/silk), J.Crew Factory (100% cotton), and Amazon (viscose/poly). Nordstrom and Anthropologie both have a huge selection of sweater tees, also! (All of the ones below come in white and black, as well as other colors!)

they also have a friends and family sale this weekend! 30% off!
I just bought this on Sunday and wore it to work yesterday! It’s a great top in a beautiful blue!
I have this top in 4 colors, including that blue and the “chocolate bunny” — I love them! They are on sale in the store for $24.99 — all colors. And when I went to Banana Republic, they were holding a 20% off all sale items promotion, so I got them for $20. Great deal (even at $25)!
