Fitting Room Chronicles- Spring at Old Navy!

On this installment of my "Fitting Room Chronicles", I'm diving in to some of my picks from Old Navy's Spring styles.  I love that they're affordable, accessible, and offer petite & tall sizing.  I usually try on in-store and buy online since the sales are often a little better.  Scroll on down to see all the details.

LOVE this pairing for Spring!  

Old Navy is one of my favorite place for Graphic Tees!  Good quality, great prices, & very comfy!  There are so many options under $10 now!








To be completely honest, sweaters here are not usually my favorite.  It's one area where I feel the quality could be better.  They are warm and nice fitting, but they just get a worn/slightly faded look rather quickly with washing and wearing.  
  I do like this one, and it was actually my reason for going in store.  I couldn't resist the print!  If you'd like something whimsical and fun that may not last forever, this is a cute option.  I'm wearing the XS on the left and S on the right.  I like how the XS fits through the body, but even on my small arms, they were a little snug.  My friend Nancy is 5'6" and opted for a medium in the "tall" length ad it fits her perfectly.  If I didn't have such a short torso, I believe the small would have been perfect for me.


This sweatshirt is so soft and cozy!  Graphic tees and sweaters are having a moment and I'm all about it!  I did size up to the small in this one as I found the sleeves of the X-Small to be a little too fitted for my liking.

These jeans are awesome!  They have great stretch and are so easy to move in!  I couldn't tell you if they stretch out with wear though. I didn't love all of the distressing, but I'm probably grabbing these without all the distressing, so I'll keep you posted-find that option here.  I'm always a fan of a mid-rise pant, and they do fit true-to-size, but it comes down to preference as far as sizing.  My normal size is very fitted, but I wear a lot of long tops.  I'd probably go up a size for a more work appropriate version. 





This shirt is not the highest quality button-down, but it's lightweight and ideal for the warmer months.  It's not meant to last forever, but it's so fun!  On my shorter frame, I prefer it tucked in.  I'm 5'4" with a shorter torso, so anyone taller should consider the tall option, and they do have a petite as well.  The pic on their website makes it look sheer, but I was wearing a printed bra that day and you couldn't tell-sorry if that's TMI. :)  I'm usually pretty true to an XS at Old Navy, but I like the slightly looser fit of the small-which is what I'm wearing in the pics.






This dress is just an easy piece to throw on.  It runs true-to-size, but they only had the small in stock and it’s a little loose on me, especially under the arms.  The tie-sleeve detail is adorable, and it's gathered a little in the back for a more flattering fit.  This would be perfect with a denim jacket or cargo vest!  It's a nice soft rayon material.

My second dress of the day and it's a must-have basic.  I can't speak highly enough about Old Navy's t-shirt and swing dresses.  They steam well and you can throw them on with anything.  The white did show prints worn underneath, but would work just fine with neutral undergarments.  Dresses don't get more comfortable than this.  Forgive my Casper legs, but I'm a lazy self-tanner.

I love yellow, but it's not a great color for me, so I like incorporating it in as an accent, like in these floral sneakers and striped cardigan.  I'm wearing it with a simple black tank, but I picture it with a Chambray shirt or t-shirt dress.  I find this length on the regular to be perfect for me, as I like my cardigans to cover my bum, so I can wear the with leggings.  In true Old Navy fashion, they also offer Tall & Petite.  They call this color "Lime Stripe" online, but it's definitely a Mustard Yellow in person.

Mid-rise Pixie Pant
These are an ideal basic for those in a Business Casual office.  You can wear your normal size or a size up, because they have quite a bit of stretch.  They are a comfortable dress pant and a versatile ankle length for those that love flats and/or heels!  They carry these year-round and are always switching up the solid and print options.

These sneakers are a must!  I have a pink pair from last year and they are so comfortable!  These have memory foam insoles and are one of my top three picks from Old Navy.  I'm obsessed with this floral and the amazing Cactus Print, but they have very versatile solids as well.  True-to-size and my top pick!

This scarf is a great transitional accessory.  Dark florals make them appropriate for the colder months.  The colors go with so much of their collection.  I paired it here with an amazing cropped jumpsuit, but loved it with the striped dress as well.  This is just a lightweight versatile piece that will add a little something to any outfit.
Jumpsuit
This jumpsuit was a surprise to me.  I was afraid the cropped length would look silly on me, but I think this would be cute with a nice wedge.  This would also be an adorable swimsuit cover-up and there's a tie-waist to customize the fit. 



This adorable denim jacket reminded me of one that my mom had given me from the 70s.  I would definitely size up one in this if you want to wear it over sweaters or thicker shirts.  It's a boxier fit and the sleeve are a little short, but I'd probably wear this with a t-shirt and the sleeves rolled up. I'm wearing the regular size small and it fits like a petite.  If you normally buy the regular size in Old Navy, I'd check out the tall in this.  There is also a petite option.  The material has a nice nice thick quality denim feel, but consider sizing up one.

These beautiful faux suede jackets were my favorite find of the day!  I was on the way out, so I don't have a pic of me wearing one.  I saw this amazing Lavender/Lilac color in store and this beautiful soft green (they call it Fennel Seed).  There is also a Navy online, but the Lilac is so unique!  These are actually polyester and spandex, so it's comfortable, so soft and you can machine wash!  This beauty also comes in the regular, tall, & petite sizing.
