I am not going to lie, I wasn’t always a fan of Old Navy until lately. I really feel like they have stepped up their game in both style and quality (even if it is only one stitch). A LONG time ago (aka in high school) I used to work for GAP during the Christmas season. During orientation, they educated us on the quality of each of their brands. Old Navy has one stitch, GAP has two stitches, and Banana Republic has three stitches. There is no way I would have known this otherwise.

However, Old Navy has been my go-to lately for both style and price, especially as I am transitioning my wardrobe to a more casual look that’s also toddler friendly. They come in “Tall” which is a life savor for me, as well and most everything is machine washable. I also feel like they are mimicking j.crew/j.crew factory a lot lately, too, which just makes my heart happy. I can find everything for my family at Old Navy. For anyone who is expecting, their maternity section is great. I wore almost all of my maternity clothes from Old Navy.

Here is a round up of my favorites from Old Navy for this Spring!

Women’s Gauze Eyelet Top

I just love the simplicity of this shirt. It would look great with shorts, denim and skinny pants this Spring/Summer. You cannot beat the price, either.

Twill Shorts 5″

I don’t typically wear shorts, but now that I am a SAHM, I feel like I will. Since I am tall, I need a bit longer length in my shorts. I love the colors these shorts come in, too.

The Pixie Ankle Pants

I bought these a few years ago in several colors, and still love them. They wash well (I hang dry all of my pants), and they are a universally flattering fit. I would buy these in several colors this year again.

Cropped Trench Coats

These are so chic for a quick, light layer in those earlier Spring months. It makes a simple outfit look very put together in an instant.

Floral Shift Dress

I never thought I would like an all floral dress, but this navy/pink shift dress is really cute. It would look great with booties, sandals or even boots and a lightweight sweater in the fall. A definite buy for me. I love the 3/4 sleeves, too. Air conditioning can get too cold sometimes!

Convertible Maxi Tube Dress

Love, love this maxi dress. I wore a lot of maxi dresses while pregnant, and they are the MOST comfortable dress in the world. I would wear a cardigan during the day, and bare shoulders for the evenings (except, I always take a pashmina/wrap with me at night during the Spring/Summer…just in case it is too cold inside!)

Faux Leather Capri Sandals

I wear flip flops all of time, and since they get worn out pretty much by the end of each Summer, I don’t mind spending $12.94 on these sandals. They come in several colors, and are simple. Can you tell I like the “classics?”

Hope you checkout Old Navy this Spring/Summer. They really have some good deals on some cute clothes.

Have a happy day!

T.G.I.F! I hope y’all have a great weekend planned.

Spring seems to be on everyone’s mind these days, including mine! Only 14 more days and counting down, so I have pulled together a few things I wouldn’t mind adding to my closet/house this Spring! Happy browsing/shopping!

Sole Society Koa Sandals

I love the fringe detail on these sandals. I could see them paired with pretty much anything this Spring/Summer. Since I am trying to add more flats to my shoe collection, these are on the top of my list!

 J. Crew Martie Pant

These pants are just my style. Old habits die hard. I wore the maternity “Minnie” pant while I was expecting. I am 5’10, so I cannot wear crop pants in the Spring/Summer…they just look plain silly on me, and/or like I was getting dressed in the dark. So, my love for the skinny pant continues. I will still wear the occasional wide leg, but the skinny pants are the best fit for me. Another classic!

J.Crew Factory Scalloped Trim Dress

This dress is timeless. I love the scalloped trim. This dress would look great for church or a date night out! I could also see it with a cardigan, tights & boots in the fall, too.

Handpicked Envelope Monogram Clutch (Tan)

This clutch is perfect for a night out or a quick errand. I carry a diaper bag all of the time now, but I could see this clutch inside of my diaper bag or worn on its own. It’s the perfect tan color. Very versatile. You have a ton of happy colors to pick from for your monogram as well.

 J.Crew Gem Pearl Earrings

I adore pearls, and these are begging to be added to my pearl collection. Just gorgeous for day or night.

J. Crew Fringe Tassel Earrings

These are definitely more modern than I typically go for, but I love the hunter green tassels mixed with the pastel gems. This season, I have two items on my wish list that are a bit more trendy, than classic. Sometimes I surprise myself, and this is one of those times! How often does this happen to you?

 Kirkland’s Boxwood Easter Bunny Wreath

How adorable is this? Now that we have our little twinkle toes, decorating for each holiday gets more and more fun! I would love to add this to our dining room (over a mirror). So cute. Now, if Kirkland’s can just get more in stock!

What’s on your Spring wish list?

In college, I used to wear classic button down oxford shirts all of the time. I would get them on sale at the outlets. I would typically pair these shirts with my citizen jeans, pointy toe heels, pearls & a classic trench coat. Sometimes you would find me in the Sperry Topsider boat shoes, with my jeans rolled up (oh yes, I did…and occasionally I would pop my collar, too). Now that I am not working in an office anymore, I am finding myself gravitating towards this style once again. The other day, I bought a pin stripe shirt, and I am hooked…again! The price is incredibly reasonable, too. I am trying to switch my “career wardrobe” into a more “mom wardrobe.” I still LOVE to dress up, hence one of the main reasons I started this blog, after all fashion is one of my favorite past times. However, with a little one that’s very close to walking, it’s hard to justify wearing “dry clean only” clothing or even wearing high heels on a daily basis anymore. It’s simply not realistic. I can never truly give up my dressier style, but I am learning to take it to a more casual level. This shirt fits the bill. I love the fact that you can pair this shirt with jeans, skirts, shorts or dressy pants. It is definitely a shirt that can be dressed up or down. You can never go wrong with a classic.

Happy February! Can you believe it’s already February?  Time flies by when you’re having fun, but when you have a little one, I am finding it flies by even faster. Does anyone else feel this way? With that said, I am ready for Spring now, and it’s not that far away. Thank goodness.

Let’s talk about this dress. I typically wear neutrals and accessorize with pops of color; however, today I was inspired to wear just the opposite! Maybe because it’s the first week of February and I have pink and red on my mind? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the fact that I love the color pink. Either way, this drop waist dress is timeless. To be honest, I had my eye on it for about a year (I was expecting when I first saw it at jcrew.com – and there was no way it was going to fit at the time- hence I never ordered it). Luckily for me, I found it at jcrew factory this year, and let’s just say Santa was good to me.

This dress fits like a shift dress, but is a bit more girly. You can dress this up with pumps for a date night or be more casual with booties during the day. I also like the fact that it has 3/4 sleeves. This means “versatility,” and to me that is a win win. I love it when statement pieces can transition from season to season. Either way, a dress like this is a perfect style staple to add to your closet.
