Old Navy Jeans

I am a part of Crowdtap - it is a website that connects brands and consumers. Consumers are rewarded for their time and insights with free product trials (to report on), and money as well.

I was chosen to participate in a sample and share opportunity, for Old Navy Jeans. I received a coupon for one free pair of Old Navy Womens Jeans, and another coupon to share with a friend. I ended up giving the other coupon to my little sister. I don't think she has made it to the store yet, we don't have one around and it's a bit of a drive to get there.

I was able to make it to the store in Augusta, Maine to find a good pair of jeans







The Augusta store was recently remodeled, and I like the new layout. It's clean and organized, and modern too. The Womens Jeans section was directly through the front doors, to the right.

Again, well organized and clean. As you can see, it's easy to find your style, and size as well.I had never tried Old Navy Jeans before. I LOVE Gap pants and jeans (sister store) which are much more pricey. So I was interested to see what Old Navy had to offer, and if they compare.


I tried about 8 pairs , different styles. I tried the sweetheart, the flirt, the dreamer, and a couple of others. I took sizes 10 and 12, because my sizing varies by brand. I quickly discovered after starting to try different ones on that I was a 12 in ON Jean sizing.


I was sort of dreading this, because I have a hard time finding jeans that I feel good and look good in. I have to say, I was pleasantly suprised. Compared to other brands I have tried, these ones really flattered me and fit well. I didn't have the problem I usually have, where they fit in the thighs but are too big in the waist and then have that gap in the back when you go to sit down. My only "problem" was trying to find which style and wash I liked the most.


One thing I didn't like about this pair was the "whiskers"...the lighter stripes in the jeans. They were put there on purpose, as a style thing, but I didn't like it and it wasn't flattering on me.

I ended up choosing...(drumrolllllllll)...

The Slim Flare Jeans in "Rinse", size 12. I like the darker wash, in my opinion, it is slimming. I love the flare, and the material has the perfect amount of stretch. My only suggestion would be to add petite sizing. If you already do, it wasn't offered in the store I shopped at. I will have to shorten them a bit. But other than that, I absolutely love them! I am very pleasantly surprised.

Old Navy Tanks

I am a part of Crowdtap - it is a website that connects brands and consumers. Consumers are rewarded for their time and insights with free product trials (to report on), and money as well.

Anyway, I was chosen to participate in an Old Navy sample and share, to review their embellished/decorated tanks. I received a coupon to pick one out for free, and three other coupons to give to friends. Of course my friends were so excited to get them too!

I had the day off from work, so I brought my daughter (7 months) to Old Navy to use the coupon. I also had a groupon to use, and a gift card (score!) She was so good, and had fun shopping in her stroller!



When I got there, the tanks were displayed well:





There were only a few styles I was interested in:

And then we were off to the dressing rooms! I admit, I had more than the free tanks to try on. I brought in a couple of jersey dresses, a tee, a sparkly cardigan, and some athletic capris. Anyway, onward!
Although I loved the peach colored shirt, I am too pale to pull it off. 


This black tank is the one with the embellishments on the shoulder. I LOVE LOVE LOVED the material on this, super soft, and thick! But it wasn't my absolute favorite out of all the ones I tried.

I ended up with the diagonal tiered tank in black. I like it and thought it was the most flattering. Not only that, it was the one I would actually wear the most. I love it!

One-Shoulder Love

I'm SO in the mood for a little one-shoulder action!

The little black dress!
Classy, Tallahassee!


This is fierce!



Hmmm, maybe a little bit of a funky twist



A little drama...


LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!


Bold white! I could never wear this, I'd get it dirty probably before I even put it on. Still gorgeous!



Ohhh fancy! I don't know where I would ever wear this, or how I ever could afford it, but I still love it anyway.



Love the hot pink and the flutter!



A little sparkle with sequins



Hot tamale RED



Little bit funky



Perfectly sweet wedding dress for a casual ceremony/reception, or a destination wedding!

Hi, I'm Jenny....and I'm a Shopaholic.

It’s bad. Shopping is my passion, it always has been. The problem: I’m broke. I tried to feed my addiction by going on shopping sprees at the Dollar Tree (I mean, even if I bought thirty things, it would only be thirty bucks!), but it just wasn’t cutting it for me. And Dollar Tree crap is the worst kind of crap, isn’t it?
I have a 3 month old baby girl, who I love to shop for more than anything else! But again, we have the whole money dilemma. So I’ve decided I’m going to allow myself unlimited window shopping, and this will be my outlet! Dream a little, right? Here we go!
