Banana Republic Chambray. Not my favorite, but I can get it for free. It's either that or a bunch of clothes from Old Navy for my little girl.

Old navy clothes for the girl. The fabric + detailing give off a weird Workwear x Military x Ivy mashup vibe, and not in a good way.

If you have a BR gift card, maybe kop loafer socks or tees from BR or Purcells/Chucks from Gap?

Yeah, if it was a straight workwear type chambray, I'd get it in a second. I haven't seen anything from BR to get excited about in ages. I thought about Purcells from Gap, but I'll probably just head to the Old Navy girl's section

I'll check BR first, just in case there happens to be something interesting.

I have been looking at this shirt for a month now, but I still haven't made up my mind. What are your opinions?

i have seen the Khaki in person. they look even better in real. It is just that the fit is too generous for me.

I liked it when I was picking some things up from the store a while ago. Told myself I'd get it later or something- kind of remember the price point not making sense for what it was. If it's on sale, grab it.

I haven't tried it on. How does APC shirt usually fit? I usually wear small size shirt, so I guess I should order small size as well on this one right?
