jillgg's good life (for less)

I recently went down a rabbit hole at Old Navy while shopping online for my kids to get back to school. They both went like crazy in the summer - as usual - and I always have jeans and khakis for them there. Then I went to the women's newcomers and was very pleasantly surprised by what I found. I'm always a little hit or miss at Old Navy, but when I find some good pieces it is definitely worth sharing because the prices are just so great. If you can really find the quality, it makes some of them a breeze for fall.

Let's take a look at the pieces ... for most of them, I've styled them first (a little summery) and for later (more autumnal) to give an idea of ​​some ways to style them.


Thoughts: This is so cute and really the perfect summer to drop weight sweaters. I think the quality is great and I love the length of the tunic. It works very well now with white jeans and later with leggings.






Size: I got my usual size small. True to size.






Keep or return? I will keep this one. I don't have a black and white striped sweater and it's just so classic!

















Thoughts: LOVE. I've been so in love with fun sweatshirts lately and this one fits right in. It's a super cute and toned down look for fall.






Size: I am small according to my size.






Keep or return? To keep. I love it.

















Thoughts: This color is weird to me. It looks good in the photo, but it felt weird, I don't know. It's also available in white which is beautiful. The sweater that I loved. The color not so much. I only styled this this way because I honestly couldn't imagine how else to style it!?!






Size: Runs big, I'm in an XS. I recommend going down a size.






Keep or return? Return.













Thoughts: LOVE. I'll say I love the joggers more than the sweatshirt, which feels a little stiff. The joggers are worth a few more in my opinion. You're so good.






Size: joggers are tall, I went for an XS and they stretch a little when you wear them. Sweatshirt is true to size, I'm small in my usual size.






Keep or return? To keep. I've already worn and washed both of them - they wash great too, no shrinkage.
















Thoughts: Beautiful. And really great quality. I have a similar jumper from J.Crew and the quality is pretty much the same. I am super impressed with this one.






Size: I am short in my usual size. At first I thought maybe I should go for a loose fit (which you surely could do) but after styling it a couple of times I think it's the right way to determine the size.


Keep or return? To keep. This is a great staple food.

When buying my wardrobe, versatility is important to me. When I know I can't carry a part in multiple ways, I rarely add it to my closet.

I'm just trying to buy items that I know I can wear in a variety of ways, and this helps me visualize how versatile a piece can be - I hope it helps you do the same!
