Online Shopping at Old Navy

I find myself doing more and more shopping online these days. It may be because it’s becoming more common, but for me it’s almost a necessity. Between school drop offs, sports practice, games, PTO, exercise, nap schedule, laundry, cooking and cleaning who has time! Now don’t get me wrong I love a leisurely stroll through Target with Starbucks in hand as much as the next momma. I just don’t always have time.

I recently ordered a few things from Old Navy. I love old navy, the price point is fantastic, they keep up with styles and trends, they lean a bit conservative in their lengths and cuts which fit my style to a tee. One big benefit for me is when I shop online I can order Tall versions of their everyday styles. This is such a great option for me. I’m not super tall, but at 5’ 10’’, a lot of standard dresses and jeans just are not sized right for me. Old Navy gives me the option to have cute on trend styles, that fit for a reasonable price. Win!  One other thing I love about retailers like Target & Old Navy, I can order online and return to store... which relieves a huge headache!

I had a great experience at my local old navy today. I needed to return two items. Another of my order I’m on the fence about, it’s a bit tighter than I would like, so I wanted to order the next size up in Tall. Did you know if you order in store to be delivered to your house their is no shipping costs... it doesn’t matter how small your order.  Today, the dress I wanted in the next size up was on sale for $7.99. They are shipping it to me for free! I love when stores are customer centric.

Here are some stock photos of the pieces I decided to keep from Old Navy.


I already have a pair of these pull on rockstar jeans in a different wash & detail. I love them they are flattering and very comfortable. They have a paneled waistband that holds that area in. They are a ‘look for less’ version of the Spanx jeans. I ordered the Spanx jeans on Black Friday. I was so excited... if I’m being honest I didn’t LOVE them. If I’m going to pay $100+ for jeans... I need to love them. I ended up returning them. I know this is heresy in the blogging world... but they just weren’t right for me. These are a good alternative for less than a 1/3 of the price. I ordered the tall version of these. It’s a real win for me to order online and a very wallet friendly price point.

I saw this tee shirt dress and had to have it. Simple black with classic lines is right up my alley. I ordered this dress in Tall. A lot of my height is in my legs, I find it difficult to find dresses that are appropriate and practical length for me. I need something I can pick up my kiddo in with showing my tush to the world.  And let’s just be honest, I’m not 25 any more. When the dress arrived I could wait to try it, I ordered my usual size and it’s a bit trimmer cut than I expected. It fit, but I was concerned that it might shrink. I had to return a few other things in store, so while I was there I had them order the next size up and ship it to my house. Bonus, it was even more on sale! Long story short, I ended up keeping the larger size. I plan to pair it with leopard accessories to jazz it up a bit. I ended up paying under $10 for this dress!!!!

These motto jeggings are so cute, comfy and flattering! They are high waisted and hold the mummy tummy in. The motto details give them an edge and a fancier look for everyday wear. They are thick enough that I didn’t have to worry about panty lines. Winner. These are going in my regular rotation immediately!!!

Motherhood

Motherhood has the unique ability to expose our deepest weaknesses as well as highlight personal substance you never knew was there. In the trenches of the days of no sleep, spit up covered shirts and endless dirty diapers you discover the deepest part of who you are. One thing I have learned in the last almost 10 years of motherhood, is that knowing who I am is vital to my success. As Americans, I see great fear in understanding one’s own weaknesses. I know the opposite to be true. I see strength in your own full self discovery. We see women that look a certain way and are wearing certain things and we think that we have to imitate that to establish our identity. I see women everyday who are stretched to the brink, trying to do it all. As mothers, it’s important to relay to our children that weaknesses are a part of who we are, we are not defined by those rather we are defined by our strengths. When we truly know who we are, we can feel more comfortable making choices t...

Valentines Snack Mix

This snack mix is so easy & versatile for any holiday or activity. This is a super kid pleaser. The variety I made is nut free, there is a peanut allergy in my daughters class.  I started with popcorn & pretzels as my base. I popped my popcorn on the stovetop, you could just as easily use pre-bagged popcorn (Smartpop) or microwave popcorn.  I used 8 cups of popcorn and 3 cups of pretzels. Mix in a large bowl. Next, melt your vanilla coating chocolate. Follow the melting instructions on the package.  I dyed mine pink for the occasion.  Once the coating candy is melted and the right color, pour it over your mix. Stir constantly until is all incorporated. Spread out on parchment or wax paper. I used valentines sprinkles next... this is optional... but too cute to pass up! Next, I did the chocolate covered pretzels. I used the remainder of the bag of pretzels.  Same process as before, but using chocolate. Sometimes this is referred t...

Monday Must Have - - - Closet Clothing Dividers for Kids

Mom's Take back your morning!!!! If you are like me and have multiple school age children, mornings can be stressful and time consuming.  The fight about clothes and hurrying to get dressed in the morning can be endless and infuriating.  I envy those of you whose children wear uniforms to school.  But regardless of if they wear everyday clothes or uniforms this method is priceless. This also allows momma to see if everything they need for the week is clean and ready.  I also hang practice clothes or jersey's with the day of the week of the game etc. I started this when my oldest was in preschool.  It allows us organization and frees our mornings up.  When I started doing this, I used a hanging sweater organizer.  This was a good fit for the closet at the time and it worked for our space.  Now, my oldest two children share a room and closet, so this method works better for us. I ordered colorful set of clothing organizers from Amazon . ...
