The disappointment that is Milly + Banana Republic

(To me)

The most important thing 
(besides how beautiful it is) 
in a inexpensive retailer and fashion designer collaboration is the price point.  

Affordability.

$140 for a summer mini-dress isn't affordability 

and that's just what Milly for Banana Republic has given us.  

I am a huge fan of Milly. 

I love everything it represents 

(bright colors, floral patterns, and fun ladylike fashion)

However, (to me) this collaboration was a total disappointment.

The shorts were very J. Crew-ish, the dresses were odd patterns, the accessories were very cheap looking and the overall vibe wasn't half as great as last year's Trina Turk for Banana Republic collab.  

(which I loved!)

I do like this dress and only because it is an exact replica of last season's 

Milly Color Block Maxi 

(which happened to be my best friend Amy's graduation party dress!)

Milly Bari Colorblock Maxi $485 (sold out)

Milly + Banana Republic Colorblock Maxi $165
