hits and misses from Old Navy
I went shopping last weekend.
I had to return some items which included two pair of jeans from Old Navy.
I know, I KNOW, everyone had very sound advice regarding jeans, but I wanted to start at the bottom and work my way up. (I do, however, truly appreciate all the fabulous information my jeans-query dug up! The only jeans that I will probably NOT try are the Not Your Daughter's Jeans jeans as I do not have the immediate need for a form-changing pair of jeans.)
Anyway!
Here I've been singing the praises of Old Navy jeans to anyone who asks me and it turns out that they do NOT make a jean that I can wear. Or, more accurately, I can wear some of their jeans but should not.
Everything at Old Navy was $10, $15 and $20 last weekend (and probably this week too) and I got a couple of things.
But there were some dangerous options available too...I'm just sayin -
Do you see this?
NO ONE can wear this.
No one we KNOW IRL, that is.
Do not be fooled into thinking you could throw a shrug on over this and slip on a pair of heels and sit out by the pool.
That isn't your life. (Unless you are a Real Housewife Of Wherever, in which case you should call me.)
And this?
An abomination.
Walk AWAY.
10 year old girls can wear this AND they had better slip a shrug on over it.
But this, on the other hand...
This could be a handy little thing to own.
Add a scarf, cute shoes and a chunky bracelet...then TAKE OFF THE BRACELET, YOU HAVE TOO MANY ACCESSORIES ON.
And this:
A wee bit short for me, but for you? Terrific!
Business casual!
Khaki! THE color of spring. (Not for me, of course, my color of spring is griege!)
Finally - the denim skirt I've been seeking! $15! ( I know it says $20 - IGNORE THAT.)
I'm planning on switching out my Old Navy brown cord skirt for this one which means I'll be wearing it at least once a week. Maybe more!
My little splurge? This.
But not in white, you silly...in GRAY.

I bought a slim stretch shirt instead.
PS. I did not win my little contest. Big sigh...

You know me, I should be the one dressing O.N.L.Y. in black, yet I LOVE colours.
Go figure.

Jeans: Nordstrom does a nice brand called Kut from the Kloth. They have them in the Point of View section. They are modern, but not for teeny-boppers. Maybe give them a try-on? Roughly $65.00-ish? Can't recall exact price, but I have a pair and may have purchased them during an anniversary sale.

Happy shopping, bb!
I would take off the scarf and leave on the chunky bracelet.
I have a weird body. My waist is too small for my hips. Or the opposite. Jeans never fit me.
