Spring Refresh with Old Navy

Among my girlfriends, I am infamously known for my Old Navy finds. Every new season [spring is coming up], I always end up picking up staples and basics, as well as a few *pop* pieces.

Where did my love for Old Navy begin? I blame my mother, who would drag me there every summer to pick out new school year outfits.

While it’s still cold, snowy, and icy in Connecticut, the extra sunlight, mild temperatures, and lack of inspiration in my closet have once again sent me to Old Navy.

For work, I’m in desperate need of tailored blouses, versatile cardigans, and chino pants that actually fit my lower half [pretty sure I’ve gone through a 3rd puberty this year]!

For nights and weekends, I want pops of my favorite colors, pieces I can layer and mix-and-match, and–as always–comfort.

Old Navy satisfies all of my wants and needs… and my credit card isn’t yelling at me either!

Below is my try-on I snapped recently. Sadly, a lot of new pieces are not on sale [yet], but compared to many other stores, the prices are too good to pass up. And I’ll certainly alert you all when a new sale arrives.

Polka dot blouse [XS] | Super skinny ankle raw hem jeans [2R]

This top is comfortable and super cute with the polka dots! Though I didn’t purchase, I need to incorporate more dots into my wardrobe–way more playful than stripes.

I wore these jeans throughout the try-on. I didn’t purchase these either, but may order them in a petite! They’re stretchy and sit above my hips. I’ve gotten a few pairs of Old Navy jeans, and while they’re not the highest of quality, they’re very comfortable and I don’t feel bad ripping or stretching them.

 

Striped blouse [S] | Super skinny ankle raw hem jeans

Will be ordering this blouse! Perfect for work or casual, this blouse is soft and bright. I’m wearing a size small, but I feel that an extra-small will be more flattering [note my awkward sideways stance to make it not look as boxy].

 

Floral blouse [XS] | Super skinny ankle raw hem jeans

Love this pop of blue and floral!

 

Striped twill blouse [XS] | Super skinny ankle raw hem jeans

This cute puff-sleeve top clasps in the front. You can wear clasped or undone, like I did above to show off my necklace.

 

Long-line sweater [XS] | Striped twill blouse [XS] | Super skinny ankle raw hem jeans

Finally embracing the duster cardigan trend. This long-line sweater is soft! Opted not to purchase since I’m trying to transition heavy sweaters out of my closet for the spring, but would definitely buy this for fall.

 

Striped twill blouse | [XS]  Super-long sweater [XS] | Super skinny ankle raw hem jeans

Bought this duster sweater instead because of its softness and lightness. Great cover up for the office and meetings, but you won’t sweat if you get warm.

 

Wrap top [XS] | Super skinny ankle raw hem jeans

Excited to finally embrace the wrap top trend! This is going to be my new go-to top, I’m calling it already. So flattering, light, soft, and the stripes add dimension.

 

Soft-spun tee [XS] | Super skinny ankle raw hem jeans

Did not purchase this tee, but oh man is it soft! Also comes in navy stripes, which I might have preferred. That said, I have too many long-sleeve tops, so I exercised self-restraint. 🙂

 

Striped flutter-sleeve top [XS] | LOFT skinny jeans

Glad this top caught my eye before checking out. I love a subtle flutter sleeve and I’m on a serious stripes kick for spring.

Full disclosure: I only tried on one pair of pants that were cute [see them in the background of the last photo], but didn’t fit correctly. Trying on regular pants in store is usually a miss for me. I’ll post when I find a good pair!

xx, Shannon
