Old Navy is a hit or miss for me. I like it for my girls’ basics like jeans , tees, etc. especially when they have a great sale but I don’t always find stuff for me personally. I stopped by after lunch last week to see what’s new and actually picked up a few items that spoke to me, but not the items I thought I would like.
Passed on these:
- I saw a bunch of Spring dresses at the front of the store that caught my attention; I like eyelet material so the display of eyelet dresses in several colors drew me in. Regular price $35, currently on sale for $25. All their dresses are currently on sale here. I tried on the navy in 6 but the fit was off. It was weird around the bust area and the back made my butt look flat (not flattering). So it was a no go.
- I also tried on a paisley shift dress in small that was ok; I actually liked the print a lot but the polyester material was so-so. I like the way it hung on me but I wasn’t in love with it so I passed.
- The anchor print chambray shirt was disappointing; I really wanted to like it but I wished the chambray shade was darker. The anchor print is impercetible against the light or faded material.
Grabbed these:
- Unexpectedly, what I did like a lot was the ankle Diva pants in black ($30). They have it available in many colors and fun prints. It’s similar to the J.Crew Minnie but these actually fit me better. I find that I’m between sizes in the Minnie: the 6 is too big and the 4 is too small so I’ve always hesitated getting it again; I do have it in gray in 6 that I need to have taken in. So the Old Navy dup is a nice alternative.
- Lastly, they had a bunch of clearance items that got me – I’m always a sucker for basics like tees and these were an amazing deal. The striped yellow/navy ruffled tee was $4.99 in store and the short sleeved henleys were $6.
Now I need to make room in my closet for these Spring purchases….and it’s not even officially Spring yet.
Dear Boo and Lulu 
Thank you for the reviews! I’ve been at ON, but not too long to try some nice spring clothes, so sad about the anchor shirt :-(, I had great expectations…oh well, you save me some $ 🙂
@andrea…thanks for the note…I wanted so badly to like the anchor shirt but you’re right, I saved some $$ I can spend on some other Spring find. Enjoy your weekend!
