Thank you readers for all of your comments. Congratulations to Tracy Morrison, cherrysizeoneaol@aol.com, and Rebekah Courneya! Happy shopping!

 

 

It’s time to switch out your summer sundresses for cozy wraps and chunky knits. Fall fashion is all-a-buzz and in stores now. I caught up with Colleen Burns and Monica Dahl from Minnesota based Christopher & Banks to hear about all of the  fall must-haves from Christopher & Banks.

Never shopped at Christopher & Banks? Expect clothing for women in petites, misses and plus sizes. Christopher & Banks is for the woman caught between the back-to-school crush and the glamour of Fall Fashion Week. These are women who don’t want to look like their daughters, and don’t want to look like their grandmothers. Christopher & Banks has affordable and fashionable clothes for all women.

    Adore new cardigans and scarfs, can never have too many and so versatile for the MN weather.

    I would love to grab some jackets and long sweaters, for myself and my mother. She’s 60, but stays in fashion, has a cute slender shape, but gets chilly during the day at the office. I’d wear the jacket as a layering piece to enhance any basic T in the fall of MN, as would my mother, and accessorize it with a skinny belt underneath if the mood suits me. Also, a must have tall boot or shootie, with either boot cut pants or skinny jeans. With the longer cardy’s, I’d layer a belt over the top of it to provide a waist, with a straight cut jean or skinny jeans, with my signature fall tall boots or shooties/booties. My mom would likely layer it with a shell short sleeve T or crisp button-down shirt. We’re both into the longer necklaces in the fall/winter season- something with a lot of interest, but not too much as we are both smaller women and don’t want to be over-powered by accessories. I am quite the shopper, so I want this more to take my mom on a spree since she rarely shops for herself (and I mean RARELY!) Thanks for the chance!!

    I love the second clothing combination! As a professional and teacher of an all girl’s classroom, my students tend to get excited about fashion and like to see what I wear to school every day!  I’d love to wear this look because it is perfect for fall and yet still pops with color. I love the necklace length too!

    I would choose the third combination.  You can never have too many cardigans.  For me, it’s nice to have something that is versatile and can either be dressed up or down.

    The cardigan in photo 3 is stunning! I love the chunky necklace, too. Perfect combination!

    I am a dedicated customer to CJ Banks…No matter where I go around the country I check out CJBanks website to see if one is in the area I will be in.  I remember going to PA on a vacation and took my husbands aunt to the shop in Altoona, PA.  she had never been in the shop and not even her daughters and my mom was also along and I now have everyone as shoppers at Christopher & Bank stores.  I love the idea that I can mix & match to have so many outfits with just a few pieces….Thank you…

    All 3 looks are great for the cool fall weather.  Look 3 is my favorite, can pair a fly-away cardi with anything; I hope it comes in more colors too!  I would definitely spend some of the $300 gift card on the bottoms, with the new great fits.  Can’t wait to shop til I drop!  sbran@lemarscomm.net

    As a petite, the short crop jacket in look one would be perfect for my shape.  I would style it with a fantastic pair of black slim  pants and some great metal jewelry==and of course fabulous shoes!  I just celebrated the college graduation of one child and the marriage of another, meaning I am done putting all my effort toward my kids and can finally shop for myself-what better way to celebrate that than a shopping spree.  I am also a full time teacher and am going to a national teachers conference in Nashville in December and the $300 gift card would go a long way to filling up my suitcase with just what I need for the day and evening events. sciteach49@gmail.com
