Old Navy Skinny Look Ideas!

Have you tried the new skinny jeans yet?

I was taking a look at the Old Navy Plus site (now that they ship to Canada) trying to decide on which skinnies I was going to purchase and found a bunch of looks they had put together.

Old Navy Skinnies on Sale by plussizefashion

I love the options available with a skinny jean, as I mentioned previously.  I think you are only limited by your own imagination.  But today I think I am going to go with their imagination and choose one of their looks to take advantage of the Old Navy Skinnies Sale.  Sale ends October 2nd, and prices start at $19!

Are you ready to try a skinny jean now?  For $19, there is nothing to lose!  #ampedONstyle

Old Navy Skinnies on Sale!

Have you ever thought skinny jeans…  nah, not for me?  Think again!

Honestly, I thought exactly the same thing, “There is no way, they are not for me.” But I was shopping the other day and a sales rep brought me a pair and so I thought why not.  I am so glad I did.  They are a lot more flattering than I thought they would be, not to mention super comfortable.

My other skinny misconception, I thought I was limited to wearing a tunic – wrong again!  You have just as many options with skinny jeans as with regular jeans; sweaters, blazers, blouses, tunics, tees, scarves, belted, boots, heels, flats.  Your looks are endless!

I have put together a couple of casual looks here using the Old Navy Skinnies that are on sale until October 2nd, starting at $19.  (I should mention I paid 3x that amount at another store that shall remain unnamed).   I encourage you to check out the Old Navy options, they have a ton of different looks with patterns and colours to choose from.  You will find options in sizes 16-30

Shopping Old Navy for a trip to Cityline

Something fun;  my mom has received tickets to go and watch Cityline live in studio and there is 4 of us going.  The cool thing is that is for the Makeover Madness show.  This got me thinking.  I am months past due for a hair cut wouldn't it be cool to be chosen for one of the makeovers.  With this mop I am sporting, ummm yeah!

So I have devised a strategy to be one of the people they pick.  At first I was like… just show up with bad hair and no make-up.  But then what happens if I don’t get picked?  I have to sit there potentially on national television with no make-up and really bad hair.  Nope, not good!

Then I strategize what if I go with my current mop, and not get it done before the show, wear plain make-up and a really funky outfit?  My thought process is when they are scouring the crowd for potential makeover candidates they will say to themselves… “hmmm, cool outfit but ahhh poor girl her hair and makeup don’t match the look.  We should update her look to be more fitting.  I pick her!”

Now it is quite possible that they look over and say to themselves “Whoa, call the janitor, he has left his mop out here in the crowd”.

What do you think?  Is that a good strategy?  Do you have any suggestions?

So now the discussion goes to what to wear.  Because I have nothing in my closet I must buy something new and the caveat… budget.  I don’t want to spend a lot.

Since Old Navy has announced they are offering Plus Size Online in Canada I have been visiting their site regularly thinking I should try it out.  I decided to put together three potential outfits that might work for my “strategy” using Old Navy options. 

Then I get thinking, what if I were to grab all of these items now because a lot of them on sale?  I save money, save time and would be a have great start to my fall wardrobe.   Old Navy is making it really easy for me!

Wish me luck on my TV makeover quest.  I will keep you posted on how it all goes.

Old Navy Plus Size Now Available in Canada

Well, it has been months since I have showed my face around these parts so you have to know it is pretty big and exciting news to have me brush the dust of these chubby fingers and type up this post.

A few weeks back I was contacted about a new national plus line being launched in Canada but no details about who it was so I started to speculate who it could be.  Never did I think Old Navy.

Yup, you read that correctly; Old Navy is now selling their plus size line in Canada (online only).  A few years back when they moved the plus size clothing to online only in the US I thought booo, they will never come to Canada.  Well wasn’t I wrong!

They have always carried XXL in the stores but now at OldNavy.ca you can order up to size 30, which I think, is really important to note since not all plus size lines are so inclusive.  They have also carefully considered the styles and designed them to flatter the fuller figure.

Let’s look at more of the plus’ (no pun intended)

• You can shop 24/7
• FREE shipping on orders of $50 or more
• No duty to pay since orders ship from Canada
• FREE returns everyday
• Great prices with separates starting at $10.94
• Get outfit ideas in the “Outfits We Love” section
• Casual, business, active-wear, loungewear, outerwear; they have you covered.
• Their accessory section means you can get a complete outfit; from head to toe.

With ALL jeans on sale starting at $19 until Aug. 29th and fall just around the corner I am thinking it is the perfect time to start shopping. 

Old Navy? Really? Yes!

As many of us you probably eagerly anticipated the launch of the Canadian Old Navy site.  And again like many of us you were probably super disappointed when you went to the site only to find they were not offering the plus size clothing like they do on the US site.

I did get a few emails from readers asking me if I had heard anything.  Sadly, I was in the dark just like you.  After a few emails to Old Navy asking them why, the result was a couple new enemies and a patent response saying they were not offering the plus size line to Canadians at this time.  I kept pushing for more answers to see if maybe in the near future they might be.  Still no commitment from them.

But good news, they haven't left us out.  I happen to be on the .com site and found that Canada has now been added to their international shipping list.  You can now order from Old Navy!

So I haven't actually placed an order yet but I did a "test" order just to see and everything seemed to go through.  They even calculate the custom fees and shipping so you don't get a surprize when the mailman arrives at your door.  With one item in my shopping cart the price was almost double but as I added more items the cost per dropped.  Keep in mind the cost for customs does go crazy when your order is $200+.

TIP: Save money by asking your friends if they would like anything and place one order together and split the custom and shipping costs.

My question is why the customer service people didn't share this information in their email and I had to find it out on my own.  Maybe I should let them know too.

Happy shopping at OldNavy - we have waited along time for it!
