OOTD 3.7.10 {featuring Old Navy's $20 shawl collar cardi}


On Saturday I bought this cardi at Old Navy (promo'd to $20 from $26.50), so of course I wore it out for an early dinner on Sunday. (Mine is definitely ivory - marshmallow white is the closest color I see online but I don't know that that's it.)

I wanted a longer length ivory cardigan to replace a J Crew version that I have worn for the last year or two. On the way to the laundry room for some intense stain treatment for something on the arm, I noticed a hole in the back. So that was that. It was starting to look pretty worn after a couple of years' wear anyway - which really doesn't seem right for J Crew's pricing. The knit of this Old Navy cardigan is similar to the J Crew one I had. It is a thin knit - nice for Spring - and very soft and nicely woven and constructed. A good deal at $20 for sure. All the Smalls were gone, so I bought a Medium. You can see in the pics that it definitely has that boyfriend/grandpa cardi slouchy fit. If I get another color, I'll get it in my usual size. I've read reviews that say to even size down.

Old Navy also had scarves on sale for $8... and some pretty cute ones at that! I got this one:


Happy Tuesday!

  3. What a great deal on that cardigan! I am thinking of getting one in black or navy. How is it in terms of texture? Is it a very thin material?

    Love your TB wedges and the ON scarf is so cute!
