Old Navy is hit and miss for me. The quality isn't consistent and the cuts of many of their pants and tops don't fit me well. But I do constantly rely on Old Navy for easy layering pieces, casual dresses, and sweaters. When I heard about the sale, I decided I could get a couple of things I've had my eye on. Here's what I ended up with:
This is the Wrap Front Dress. I've had this dress before in other colors and while the fabric is a bit thin, it is a true wrap so it's guaranteed to fit as you like it. It's a casual knit, but I think it's perfect for running errands or grabbing lunch with friends. If you like prints, it is also available here in a black print and a green print. With the sale yesterday, I snag it for about $19.
This is the Striped Boat-Neck Top in "red" stripe and navy stripe. The "red" looked more orange to me, and the reviews confirmed my suspicions but I don't have much orange so I went ahead with it. This top is currently marked down to $11 and with the discount code I only paid about $8 each.
A quick synopsis of my weekend:
Friday night my husband was working so I wandered around Marshall's and grabbed dinner with a good friend of mine. All I bought was this Lucky Brand Tote for $18:
I found it on ebay for $45 when I got home so I think that I did well. I might take it back because I don't really need another tote, but I loved the color and my friend was buying several things so I felt silly walking around the store with her and not buying anything. I guess I could always sell it on ebay and profit from my impulse buying, but I don't know if I have the time or energy to follow through. I'll give it a couple of days and see if my buyer's remorse gets any worse.
Saturday my husband and I made waffles when he got home from work and watched some Downton Abbey before he had to go back to work. I met my in-laws for dinner that evening and then watched movies at home with a friend. Exciting stuff!
Sunday we went to church when my husband got home, then we went bowling with my in-laws. I have broken my wrist several times so I don't participate but I don't mind watching them. They all really enjoy bowling (they have their own balls/shoes and bought me my own for Christmas several years ago) so I don't want to stop them from going just because I've got some bum joints. I ran to Starbucks later with a girlfriend to talk about her love life and then settled in for the evening with my husband watching another episode of Downton Abbey. We finished season 2 last night and I don't know when season 3 will be available so I'm concerned we might go into withdrawals. Seriously, go watch this show right now.
I still haven't located my camera but I fully intend to tear the house apart tonight looking for it. The weather was questionable this weekend so I didn't wear any of my new white pieces but hopefully I'll have the courage to rock them soon...
