Old Navy Weekend Report


First off, ON had a great promotion going on when I was in on Saturday morning... I don't know how long they are doing this: Buy a green reusable tote for $1 and you get 10% off your entire in-store purchase.  If you are a cardholder, you get the tote free and anything you can stuff in it is 20% off.  I don't have the card, so I paid $1 and got my 10% discount.  I love this promotion!  Now I won't be bringing home all those ON plastic bags!

I saw the Drawstring Linen Pants on a rack and thought I'd just give them a try - I didn't think they'd be very flattering but I've been wanting a pair of linen wider leg pants for summer.  I put them on, and loved them!  Big surprise here!  So these went in the tote in color "Coffee Grounds".  (Why couldn't it just be "Coffee"... coffee grounds brings up images of what you throw in the garbage...  I'm all for creativity, but sometimes I don't get the ON color names!)  

So then I tried on the Gauzy Cross-Front Babydoll.  Oh my, oh my.  These are c-u-t-e cute.  I liked them so much that I bought two colors:  white and green.  I thought they were $15 but that sign was for the shorts below them (that print is so small!) but even when they rang up $19.50 I still bought two.  That's how much I liked them.  They have a double layer of fabric so they aren't too sheer.

Next... the tee table.  I tried on the Slub Knit Nature Graphic Tee in Heather Gray (now that color name makes sense!) and also the Slub Knit Sea Graphic Tee in Ash Heather (I would call it Oatmeal).  The coral print is fabulous, but I do love me some coral!  The knit almost looks/feels like it has a little linen in it.  The website says both tees are 100% cotton - My gray dragonfly tee does say that on the tee, but the coral one says it is 70% cotton, 30% polyester.  They feel the same to me.  These are $14.50 but again I was willing to pay full price since I really, really liked them.

My last stop was the cami table, where they had the V Neck Layering Camis on promotion for $5.00 (regularly $8.50).  I picked up "Dark Sea Blue" (Navy) and "Bright White".  Can always use these!

I'll be posting Polyvores and IRLs as I work everything into my wardrobe!

  3. I recently found you on the web. Thanks for your great ideas - you have have a great eye and I've loved looking at clothes. Question. Do the linen pants run true to size? Thank you!

  4. Jill - me too! I have a Target one too though I should have about 5 with how much I buy there at a time!
    mrs.anketell - me too! Can't wait to wear these :)
    Harvill - thanks so much!! I would say they are pretty TTS... you could possibly size down as the legs are wider and it is a relaxed fit... I usually wear a 28 in jeans and am between 4 and 6 in pants. I bought 4s in J Crew's cafe capris and cocktail capris. These ON linen pants are also a 4 but fit a bit looser than the capris. Also, I am 5' 4 1/2" tall and the regular length is good for me - can wear with flats up to maybe 2" heel. Hope this helps!
