FYI -- I saw an EXTRA50% off clearance at the San Francisco flagship on Market Street (4/29).
I have added irl pics to an Old Navy post
This post doesn't have irl pics, but I have updated it with comments about items I have received and tried.
Yes, yes, I bought a travel mug at Old Navy. The cozy or coozie (Mr. Gi calls it) you see next to it is sold separately. I would prefer a mug that is certified as chemical free. There is no such labeling on this cutie. However, I use travel mugs so infrequently and I'll probably use this just after I get my $5 usage from it. Make that $4 as it was 20% off. I am guessing at the price. I don't have my receipt handy. They're not online; in-store only.
Here are some of the tees I tried irl. I didn't keep any of these. None jumped out as a must have.
This is the Flirt Mid-Rise Straight-Leg Denim Capris, $15. Many of ON capris are currently on promo for $15.
Katie sweater via swap/exch. THANKS LilacCupcake!!!! :-),
Talbots patent leather thongs (08)
These are a size 6. I think this is the Mercury color. I like the lighter color as an alternative to J Crew's dark matchstick capris (08). I'm thinking I may need a 4 because they may stretch out while wearing them. They are 75% cotton and 25% poly. That's not too much poly, but I may want the extra room for breathing.
Heck -- at $15, you could get an extra pair to try your hand at distressing.Metallic Shoes - Currently $12.99 - I rarely look in the shoe section, but there I was messing around online. Probably talking the phone to someone and surfing. I *had* to try these.
Me likey. They remind me of a vintage shoe I had in silver. They were old & starting to fall apart. The gold were really comfortable when I stepped into them. They gape eversoslightly on the sides, but nothing major.
Also very cute, but the silver didn't thrill me personally. Also, it was the same size as gold, but the fit wasn't as good. These gaped more. It has been pointed out that we should try an item of clothing in multiples of the same size to pick the best one. It appears shoes can be the same way.
I saw one pair of these in-store yesterday and they were *so* cute. I wanted to try them to see how they felt on, but they were a size 6. No go. They *are* synthetic/man-made. The good thing, though, is that a platform has more support than a regular shoe, so... I dunno. They're $17.99. They're still available on the website. I didn't order them. I know I won't wear 'em.
I'll leave you w/the next ON coupon info I received as a BR cardholder:
5/2 - 5/21 - Buy one, get one 40% off when you use your GAP or BR card
5/29 - 5/31 - Free flag tee with any GAP or BR card purchase
6/19 - 6/25 - 30% off one kids item when you use your GAP or BR card

Totally OT, but I have to share. It's 11:40 pm and we just got a knock on the door. My heart was thumping. I'm thinking WHO is this? Can't be Jehovahs. Too late. Maybe a transient? Then I'm thinking maybe we had some property damage and a neighbor came to tell us. Mr. Gi looks out the window and it's 2 officers. My heart starts thumping faster -- I'm thinking, WHAT has happened? We open the door and they ask if we've been arguing. I said, "No, not tonite. We're really good, actually."
Well you can't be subtle or sublime with officers. Duh. Meanwhile, Mr. Gi and I have forgotten about the fresh scar has has above his eyebrow. He took a tumble when we went rollerblading the other day. So they keep asking us questions. I recounted how I'd gone out to the car and come back in and how it's been a very quiet nite. Mr. Gi said this is about how it usually is. We were asked the same-ish questions -- you know, same stuff but in a different way to see if we'd crack, I guess. Mr. Gi remembers the scar and tells them about it. That broke the ice and we ended up cracking jokes about throwing things and me being a mini meanie. Mr. Gi asked if he they wanted to see the raspberry on his leg that accompanied the scar above his eye. They said no, he could keep his pants on.
I'm so glad it was nothing. Either someone called in the wrong address or the officers went to the incorrect location. I'm so glad it's all good in my personal hood. Esp since Gigi came out from an appt the other day to find her car was towed away. Didn't see the (no parking between 4p-7p) sign. That was NO fun.
Dontcha love people that refer to themselves in the 3rd person? I like trying it out on the blog. *lol*

OMG at least you can laugh about it. I love your sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteoh, i love the butterfly and paris tee, however, i am turned off by ON tees after buying them last summer....they didn't hold their shape, curled at hem and shrunk in the wash.
ReplyDeleteI love my coral print tee, but it has shrunk in the wash. 11:30 visitors-- officers no less- my heart would stop! Good you can laugh about it now!
ReplyDeleteOh no! That is just INSANE! I'm glad it all worked out in the end, though!
ReplyDeleteI bought the ON platforms in Navy and have only had the chance to slip one on for a couple of seconds...it already felt uncomfortable, but I sort of expected it to anyways. I'll let you know what I think when I get the chance to try them on and walk around for a bit. :)
Daisy thinks the third person should only be reserved for royalty. Princess Daisy is actually completely firm on this point. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat mug and coozie are right up my alley! So home-made and artsy looking! Although, I could probably achieve the same effect with some paint and any old travelling mug I have lying around the house. That being said, for $4, why exert the effort? :p
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the tees. You're better off without them. Nothing to write home about - except maybe that coral one. That seems to be one worth visiting in the store. ;)
I hear ya about being visited by officers in the middle of the night. Last year, I got a visit by our blue & white's at 2:30AM, yes, IN THE MORNING. It turns out my car, which was parked out on the street, was hit by someone making a turn and had inadvertently hit my car bad enough to have it jump up onto the curb. There was minor damage to my car, but the same couldn't be said about the other guy's. His car actually turned over on it's side! In the end, everything was squared away, but getting a visit late (or early!) by the blue & white's is always a nerve-wracking (if only initially) experience! Glad everything turned out alright! :)
I saw these tees today at ON and I passed on buying them. My Graphic tees wash great and have not shrunk. I have more quality issues with JC than ON.
ReplyDeleteI have had cops coming to my door by accident they scared the crap out of me.
Thanks for chiming in, glaydies :-)
ReplyDeleteAdorable stuff collection!! I love last one sandals and would like to got from Macys
