Is it Time to Take a Second Look at Banana Republic?

As I was walking through the mall the other day, I found myself reflexively slowing down as I passed the Banana Republic store. I was drawn by the bright colors and all the shiny little things I saw displayed in the store’s windows. That may not seem remarkable, but you see, I had kind of discarded Banana Republic. I’m not sure when it happened, but the store sort of dropped off of my radar at some point. So, when I noticed their intriguing wares, I decided to take a little look inside. What I found were several beautiful summer pieces (like the dresses above), and lots of stunning jewelry.
What stores have you rediscovered lately?
