Gingham and Stripes

There was a period of a couple years when I didn’t even set foot into an Old Navy. I had a couple of disappointing visits and kind of wrote the store off, but no more. They initially intrigued me with that cute owl sweater I bought, and now they’re kind of winning me over with their nearly-identical-to-J.Crew button downs.

Sure, the fit is not quite as perfect as it is with J.Crew, but the style is spot on. And when I can walk out of a store with a shirt dress and button down for about $15? No complaints from this girl.

From now on I’m definitely keeping Old Navy on my radar.

Are you a fan of Old Navy?

    I love this whole look! And I agree, there are some times when Old Navy really gets it right. I’m going to need to go soon!

    $15 works for me! I haven’t been in Old Navy in years for the same reasons, but this past winter has really made me rethink that! You look amazing! I love the way you styled the striped dress! And I want those shoes!!!

    I haven’t been to Old Navy in a long time now that you bring it up! Love the mixed patterns and those shoes make your legs look extra long- don’t you just love nude toned shoes for that?

    Since I spend most of my time in business casual and business clothing, I don’t like to spend a ton on casual clothes, but I want to stay on trend within my classic style parameters. Old Navy totally helps me do that! And it’s even better when I can find some outfits that are work-appropriate as well. Needless to say, I’m a huge fan.

    I love them for kids clothes, but it wasn’t until this past year that I started looking in the womens section for myself. I love this look, its really pretty!! Have a great weekend!

    I love Old Navy! I have great luck there, especially since I am in the process of losing weight and don’t want to spend a lot on investment pieces until I am a more permanent size. They really are the best for basic layering pieces – tanks and tees. And their active wear is awesome too!

    Never thought gingham ans stripes could work… you proved me wrong! You look absolutley gorgeous. The necklace is quite unexpected in a good way. You have impecabble style.

    All the best,

    I am definitely a fan of Old Navy! My favorite thing about them, is finding something on sale, taking it to the check-out and finding out that it’s even more on-sale. That really just doesn’t happen anywhere else. Cute outfit! So glad I stumbled across your blog!
