Old Navy Sample Share: Summer Shorts!

Same Intro Info as before, incase you missed my Sample Share: Jeans post:  "I belong to an online group called Crowdtap.  Please read more information about it here: Crowdtap  One of the great things about it, you give your opinion, answer questions, participate in discussions, and then you raise money for charities.  I picked the Nature Conservatory.  There are about 5 options, all good choices of course!  :)
Another perk is participating in targeted discussions, some of my faves are to talk about Old Navy products.  I was recently approved to join an Old Navy Sample Share, basically I was mailed a coupon, 1 for me 1 for a friend, for a FREE pair of JEANS!!!  And so I/we headed to Old Navy to do some shopping!"

So same thing applies, except this was for Old Navy Summer Shorts Sample Share!  The coupon was for 1 pair of Shorts or Bermudas for you, and 1 for a friend!

If you read the fine print on the coupons, you found out early- no capris!  Bummer because they looked so cute in the store!  Not that I really need anymore capris, but they are so comfortable to wear!

I'm not a big fan of short shorts, even tho I found these ultra cute neon shorts: TEAL!  Not going to lie, I wanted them! However, I don't wear anything that short anymore!  If they had been in the Bermudas, I would have been all over it!

My Bermuda choice
As it was, I purchased the Bermudas in the dark wash:
I also liked the lighter wash with some wear and tear, however they turned out to fit too snugly in the thigh, even in 2 different sizes.

I'm on the fence about how much I like the rolled cuff.  As a DIY-er I'm considering releasing the cuff and ironing down, maybe cutting a short slit on the outer edge at my knee.  Or it might be fun to add a little bling or embroidery to the cuff.  Oh the options!  If I do decided to add or change something, I will be sure to post it here.

Another nice feature of these Bermudas is that the back pocket isn't overly flashy.  Which means, DIY it or leave it alone??  This would be a nice place for some simple embroidery stitches!





My sister was out of town on vacation when I needed to go shopping.  So my Mother and I went shopping, with the best of intentions to find her a great pair.  I think we succeeded!  She can pull off a bright colored pair of shorts!

Now, lets talk about some of the fun options I tried on but didn't buy!  First of all, they have some really pretty patterns and prints right now!  My only thought (besides 'oh pretty!') was, "How do I wear this?"  I loved the bright neons and the brighter patterns, such diversity!

I tried on this Black and Grey Floral that seemed wayyy too boxy on me!  Of all the patterns, I thought this would be easy to match colors with.  Then of course there is the Green and Teal Floral that has the boldest colors that really stood out!  

One of these days I am buying a white pair of shorts or Bermudas, what a clean look to have!  Unfortunately, for some of us it would only be clean a few short hours!!  And lastly I will leave you with this short and sweet pair of Caspian Sea Blue.  Theres something romantic about all of that dark floral and lavender and purple!

Now that I have shared all this with you, head over to Old Navy stores and check out all these styles in person!  If you can't believe I got these shorts for FREE check out www.Crowdtap.com and become a member and make a difference with your opinions!!

Crowdtap Old Navy Bundle Up Bash!!!

I've enjoyed another Old Navy party!!!  Same info as before:  "I belong to an online group called Crowdtap.  Please read more information about it here: Crowdtap  One of the great things about it, you give your opinion, answer questions, participate in discussions, and then you raise money for charities.  I picked the Nature Conservatory.  There are about 5 options, all good choices of course!  :)

This one was for a Women's Winter Pant, Winter Sweater, and Winter Accessory!  AND I got to invite 3 friends with me :)  I invited my sister, Liz, my coworker Marchelle, and her daughter Toni.  It was a good time :)
me with the new jeans and new shirt!


We met early on Sunday December 11th at Old Navy.  None of us were all that awake yet (mostly me...not a morning person at all!), but we still made it work to check out everything in the store and try on some fun stuff!


Liz




We started out in the jeans section, they have some nice selections now!  Colored jeans, I found some pretty reds!  Too bad none my size.  I ended up buying a (super soft) pair of blue Rockstar Super Skinny jeans!  I already have a pair in black that I love to wear, and these looked super cute!  I didn't even realize what they were when I picked them up!  These are great for wearing with boots or flats, so thats what I am doing this winter!  Now I have 3 pairs (of ON jeans) that look great with my boots :)


This is my sister in a nice red sweater and black cords!  Very nice. I didn't even know there were corduroys at Old Navy.
Marchelle




Marchelle's daughters




This is my friend playing around with the cart.  I thought it looked funny.   Now she just looks crazy :-P


Her daughters joined us for the day.  Her little girl is all dressed up in the cutest pink jacket!  And some nice fleece hat and scarf!






Her oldest daughter and I tried on the same sweater.  We both agreed the grey version looks the best!
Marchelle bought the teal sweater






Liz got this whole comfy outfit :)
I guess I don't have any other photos with me.  Oh well, this is my sister -->
in what she got.  Loves her fleece scarf!  Very warm.






<---Marchelle got the teal sweater and it looks great!














We had so much fun and I am really looking forward to another party!!!
