8 Surprisingly Fashionable Finds from Old Navy
I'll be honest. I've only ventured into Old Navy a few times. It's mostly the atmosphere of the store that drives me nuts -- I don't do well with chaotic shopping situations. I've actually purchased a lot of their clothing at thrift stores often mistaking it for vintage. Here's the thing: Old Navy does a really great job of replicating really sweet prints and textiles. I was pleasantly surprised, upon my latest visit to their website, to find that the fabric content of their clothing is really great, too. Many shorts and dresses are made of 100% cotton. They also do a stellar job with their plus-size line. Mix up some of these inexpensive (starting at $12.94) pieces with some of your vintage favorites, and you'll be looking super sharp this summer!
