Happy Fashion Friday!!
Today’s Topic: My Recent Old Navy Finds
Yesterday, I mentioned that I made a few impromptu purchases at Old Navy. I originally only had intentions of running in to grab a couple of their 2 for $5.00 flip flops.
I practically live in these flip flops all summer long, and my few pairs from last year are ready to be retired.
Well, as soon as I entered the store, I was immediately bombarded with tons of ridiculously cute clothes. Crap. This was not good.
Old Navy is usually a hit or miss store for me, but I have noticed that I tend to have much better luck with their spring/summer clothes, rather than their fall/winter clothes. This is a good thing…summer clothes are usually cheaper!
So once I made my rounds through the store and attempted not to grab one of everything, I headed to the dressing room to see what damage could be done.
Outfit #1: Navy Blue Print Tank ($8.50) + Embroidered Gauze Skirt ($26.50)
I definitely picked up the tank, but as much as I loved the skirt, I decided to pass on it. Maybe next time…
Outfit #2: Crochet-Trim Top in Coral ($19.94) + Khaki Shorts ($22.94)
I immediately fell in love with this tank not only for the color, but for the comfort. I ended up getting the shorts too because it’s pretty rare that I can find a pair of shorts these days that aren’t riding up my butt cheeks.
I can’t seem to find this particular pair online, but they’re light, 100% cotton, and came in a couple different colors in the store.
Outfit #3: Floral Embellished Tank in White ($14.94) + Rolled-Up Poplin Cargo Capris ($29.50)
I’m always looking for white tanks that have a little “extra” to them, and I really liked the simple embellishments on this one.
I also absolutely fell in love with these cargo capris (wow, talk about comfortable!) but alas, they did not have them in my size (those you see above would have fallen off had a taken a few too many steps.
**If anyone happens to find them in a size small, in this color, I would be more than happy to reimburse you for them if you pick them up for me.
Outfit #4: Braided-Trim Jersey Sundress in Tropical Undertow ($19.50)
I adore sundresses in the summertime. They’re so easy to throw on and probably the easiest way to try to beat the heat. This particular dress caught my eye for the dropped elastic waistband, which gives it a bit of structure while still staying easy-breezy.
The damage: 1 pair shorts, 3 tank tops (I didn’t purchase the white patterned one you see pictured left), 2 basic flip flops, Double Buckle T-Strap Sandles in Bronze, and 1 sundress.
Thanks to a 10% off coupon and a $25.00 gift card, I snagged all this for just over $64.00.
Unless you’re name is Jay and you’re reading this…in that case, I got it all for free. Mmmkay?
I’ve been trying really hard to go easy on the extra spending lately, but I found all of these purchases absolutely essential. You’ll see why soon enough.
Question for the Afternoon:
What are some of your favorite summer wardrobe staples?

Old Navy is my favorite! I got a great Groupon deal I wanted to share with you but I don’t think its available anymore :(
Courtney says
It’s not…I missed out on it. So bummed :(
Alicia says
Very cute! I love everything!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Completely agree about Old Navy being hit or miss. I usually hate their winter stuff but the summer stuff is cheap and cute! I hear ya on the shorts, I don’t know how people wear half the shorts out there now! Don’t we sound so old?
Cute purchases :)
Courtney says
I feel old every time I go shopping for shorts now!!
Kathryn says
I just bought that exact same coral tank top! I wore it to take my nursing state boards test and passed – maybe that shirt is good luck ;) haha! You look so cute in all your new clothing!
Tiffany says
Such cute stuff! And great job on paring down your purchases… that can be really hard to do. :) I love their spring/summer clothes too. Decent quality, pretty embellishments and inexpensive! I have a $20 gift card (thanks Groupon!) and I’m really looking forward to spending it!
Liv @ The Salty n' Sweet says
Necessary because you’re going on vacation?!?!
I love the blue top and the white tank. Old Navy is definitely hit or miss, but it looks like you got a hit :) Cheap stuff too!!
Lindsey @ Cardio Pizza says
SUCH cute finds! I’m the same way with Old Navy – hit or miss! Looks like you had mostly hits, that’s for sure. I love the shorts and the tank top! My favorite place to shop for good deals is Gap Outlet and Banana Republic Outlet…they have great summer stuff out!! :)
Tina @ Faith Fitness Fun says
I love old navy for cute, comfy, casual gear too. And I always find better things in their summer/spring collections. You make me want to go shopping!
Melissa says
Sundresses! I am positively addicted to them! Most of mine are from the Victoria’s Secret catalogue and I love every single one! :)
Jess@atasteofconfidence says
I love those cargo pants too. Can you get them online?
Courtney says
They only had XXL in that color :(
janae @hungryrunnergirl.com says
How do you look so so amazing in every single color. LOVED THIS!!! Okay, coral was made for you!!! I need to go to Old Navy now:) LOVE YOU!!
Courtney says
Thanks, Janae! Go get ’em! ;)
Laura @ LauraLikesDesign says
I feel as thought Old Navy is hit or miss too. I also feel like their sizing is a little…off? Their clothing seems to fit me awkwardly–a lot of things feel boxy or something?
My summer staples are Nike tempo shorts, tanks, and sundresses.
Sarah says
That skirt!!! Ahhh love the embroidery. Just got a gorgeous lace skirt from anthro yesterday (blogged about it today!)
And those flippy flops are the biggest steal in the world. I LOVE LOVE them!
Jordan P @ food, sweat, and beers says
Ah, I just got the groupon (or living social or whatever) for Old Navy. Looks like I know where I’ll be stopping after work. (but seriously. Thanks for the reminder to stop there after work.)
Courtney says
I do what I can ;)
Lisa says
I feel like I have a billion pairs of old navy flip flops! & I have the same shorts from old navy that I’m actually wearing right now! ha :)
Lindsay@LivingLindsay says
Every single thing looks amazing on you!! You have a great sense of style. I love those capris – stinks they didn’t have them in your size. I love the color. My fave color combo in the summer is that color with white – so classic. Great finds!!
Claire says
Way to get some great deals, Court! I like everything you picked out!
ellalinea says
Thx for the great refferal to old navy! I’m collecting all the names of cool stores I have to visit when in the US..
And everything is so cheap there, I better start saving.. :D :)
Summertime wardrobe stables: Shorts ( white/ beige/ jeans), a lot of basic sundresses which I can pimp up with some accesories, white sandals, camel sandals with a small heel, long necklaces, a white bikini..
I usually stay within these colours: white/grey/beige/pink/camel and sometimes a fun print
ellalinea says
referral sorry :)
Jen M. says
You are so darling! I bought that coral tank in one of the other colors they had, soooo cute AND comfy!
Laura J. says
Old Navy is always hit or miss with me too– love what you got tho!! Very cute and all that for $64 sounds like a great deal to me :)
Holly says
I can get the capris for you — I tried those on when I was in the other day & really liked them…but I didn’t buy them yet, was debating between those & some shorts I saw at another store…although I might go & get the capris too ;) Just let me know!!
& I got those coral top in white– great minds think alike ;) I think we are Old Navy twins!
Oh, I’m bummed because the do NOT have that cute tank at my store- it is adorable though- looks super cute on you! :)
Courtney says
Great minds DO think alike! I actually have someone checking for me over the weekend, but if they’re unsuccessful, I’ll be sure to let you know! Thanks for offering :)
tina @ vanillandspice says
I love the coral top! It looks really nice on you.
Courtney says
Thanks!
Khushboo says
I love your finds, although they make me wanna go shopping kinda bad! Hope you find those cargos in a S, they look great! It’s so irritating when u find something that really suits you yet it’s a size too big…bittersweet much??
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
LOVE the tanks and the coral looks especially flattering on you!
Mac says
Love the coral tank top! I can’t wait to get a pay check I can go splurge on!
Trisha says
I just got home from Old Navy! Goodness…I had to make myself leave empty handed. Tons of cute stuff!
Honey @ Honey, What's Cooking says

Courtney says
Thank You!! :)
Kristin says
I love that coral colored tank top!! I have been really wanting to get out and do some shopping especially since I got my tax return back, I don’t want to spend a ton but I really want to get some work out clothes, a new pair of tennis shoes and some clothes for spring/summer. What’s even better is we payed everything off except two loans so I think a small shopping trip is in order!!
