Giving and Thanking - Old Navy Style

As a member of the Old Navy Style Council via Crowdtap I get the opportunity to try a lot of awesome clothes for free. In return, I give my honest opinions about style, selection, fit, durability, sales team, etc. However, it's not like they just ship me a package with something in it. I get to actually enjoy the shopping experience. The best part? I don't have to do it alone!

Recently Old Navy sent a coupon for me and a friend to each enjoy a brand new dress. I was super pumped, as it was so close to Thanksgiving. My sister/best friend is my typical partner when it comes to shopping, therefore she always receives my extra coupons from the Old Navy Style Council.

We met at IHOP for brunch where we harassed the staff. (But everyone was laughing so I don't think our food was tampered with.) Just being near her makes my stomach hurt, we laugh so hard!

After brunch we ran across the street to Old Navy. As soon as we walked in, the dress display was right there. Thankfully there was quite a large selection of dresses. Seester was able to find quite a few in her size. Unfortunately, I was only able to find 3 in my size.

I kept having to pull her back in, because she kept getting distracted by boots (and everything else). The funniest twist, is that she found this black dress and really didn't care for it. It didn't have much hanger appeal. However, once she tried it on we knew she had to take it home. It was beautiful...the cut was perfect on her. She tried on my black boots with it and it was an awesome combination. I wound up with this little black & white striped number. I really loved the white & blue dress, but had no clue what shoes I could possibly wear with it. (and let's face it, the white ankle socks just don't work!)



In the end, we both wound up having a really fun day with new FREE dresses...and a ton of other stuff we "needed". She kept going back to the Old Navy boots like a moth to a flame, and dang they looked cute on her! She had tried on the ivory tunic sweater but thought it was too short to wear with leggings. We kept telling her to try the Rockstar Skinny cords but she swore she hated skinny jeans and would never own them. Once we finally convinced her to try them on, well...you can see the result for yourself. She's stunningly adorable! But most importantly, she knew that I was right. Needless to say, she's a skinny jean convert now!
