OOTD: 10 July 12, Trina Turk for Banana Republic

I found out about the Trina Turk for Banana Republic collection through Pinterest. I initially thought I would like that pink and orange dress (I didn't. It was totally feh.) but I was good and did not take the Gilt "preview" sale bait, as I got sucked into that before and then ended up with things I couldn't return and had little resale value. sadface

So I picked up the turquoise blouse, which I guess sold out pretty quickly, and then I was on the fence about the patterns. I typically do polka dots and stripes but I really liked the colors. Luckily, the collection had plenty of availability in-store so I was able to get the blouse without the eBay price gouging!

I wore it with basic black pants and my elephant pendant for work, but it also worked nicely with some dressier jeans.
