Summer Upgrade Thanks to Old Navy and Crowdtap

It's finally starting to feel like summer, and what better way to kick off summer than with new gear?!! As a member of the Old Navy Style Council, I receive a lot of opportunities for new gear. Usually there are two coupons: 1 for me and 1 for a friend. (Which is SUPER awesome!) The only thing better than shopping for free clothes, is shopping for free clothes with a friend! So, you can only imagine my excitement when I received the "Old Navy Upgrade" hosted party through Crowdtap. (That's right, NOT a "sample share" but a "hosted party"!)

Check it out...I'm going shopping with THREE friends!!

Not only did I get to go shopping with ONE friend, I was able to invite THREE!! But, it doesn't stop there! Old Navy usually gives a coupon for one outfit. This time it was for a full outfit plus accessories: Swim Suit, Flip Flops, Beach Bag and Beach Towel. We are talking, total beach upgrade for Summer 2013!!

I cannot thank Old Navy and Crowdtap enough for this awesome day. I was joined by my little sister (as always!), my "old friend" Jodie and my "new friend" Billie. The 4 of us had a great time goofing off all over the store. Of course, we did a LOT more shopping than just our free items! We all found suits that we loved and more importantly, that fit our unique sizes and shapes. I can't wait to wear my new, cute little blue striped bikini on our family vacation in a few weeks!

Of course, there was some good-natured drama over the flip flops and who was getting what. For some reason, no one wanted to have the same thing as everyone else. lol I put my foot down (no pun intended) and opted for the pink/purple hombre flip flops because the colors were too cute to pass up! Old Navy's "basic flip flop" has really come a long way! There are so many fun color combinations available...literally something for everyone!

Yea...check out those purple/pink hombre flip flops...too cute not to own!

I'm still amazed and in shock by how much free swag we all received from the Old Navy Style Council. Here is a copy of my receipt for my free items only. Multiply this times 4 and that's $265.52 worth of stuff for my friends and I in one shopping trip. Again, thank you Old Navy. This was an awesome treat to kick off the summer! We were all so excited, we were Tweeting & posting to Instagram while taking silly pics & having fun. It was definitely a shopping trip I won't soon forget!
