Old Navy Shorts Event!

 

Old Navy has been my go to store for summer shorts every year. I love the variety of styles, colors, and textures. And most likely, no matter what your preference or body style you can find a pair that is perfect for you!

I applied for the most recent Old Navy sample share through Crowdtap and was so excited when I found out I was chosen to participate in the Old Navy’s SHORTS event! As an Old Navy Style Council member I was given a coupon for myself and a friend to redeem a FREE pair of shorts of our choice! 

 

 

Before I headed to the store I checked out the selection online at www.oldnavy.com  And when I got to the store I was determined to try on a variety of styles, colors and step outside of my comfort zone because sometimes you can be surprised how different something looks on the hanger to when you try it on. So that's what I did!

 

I loved the patterns and colors of the Printed Canvas Shorts so I tried on the “Warm Multi” Printed Shorts. They were adorable! I loved all the bright colors and patterned shorts this year that would be great to wear with a neutral top and really be the stand out item in any outfit.

 

 

I really stepped out of my comfort zone next and tried on the 3” Cut-Off Shorts in “Double Trouble Red”. I was glad I tried them on though because typically standing tall at 5’9” I would just pass right by thinking there would just be too much leg! They were actually very cute on though especially with the top I ended up having to buy!! But the shorts were just not the perfect ones for me.

 

So I tried on a cute blue pair of the Colored Canvas Shorts on with a fun tank that had a bright floral print. But I was a little self conscious of my tummy so kept going. 

 

I headed back towards my comfort zone and tried on a pair of the Cuffed Twill Shorts in green but the pockets and my hips just didn’t get along in my reflection in the mirror.

A few of the shorts I tried on!

I had saved my go to style for the last. The Bermuda. Year after year, they are like a dependable friend. I love that they are a longer fit and even more-so especially now that I’m an active Mommy-on-the-Go. I need functional clothing that is modest and yet comfortable but not frumpy. And that's why I love this style. It's a combination of modest, comfortable and fashionable! I was a little bummed though because they were out of my size in the light and dark kakhi Bermudas and the size below were just a little too tight in the waist. And I already had a pair of navy ones I bought last year. The customer service was fantastic and they were happy to help by checking and grabbing different sizes if I needed any!

 

So the very last pair of shorts I tried on, which were actually the ones I thought I would probably choose, were the light washed denim Distressed Denim Bermuda! I love the fit because they fit close to my leg and aren’t too baggy so even though I have the longer length I still feel cute because they are flattering. Plus I love the distressed look even down to the frayed rolled cuff - and I won't feel bad if I get some dirt on them, which is pretty much guaranteed chasing my two boys around. In fact, a few more rips or stains will just add to their character!

Women's Distressed Denim Bermuda - Love Them!

Fun Distressed Look!!

The Back - Love the Frayed Rolled Cuff!

 

I literally spent over an hour and a half at Old Navy that day browsing, admiring the displays, and trying on so many styles and combinations of outfits. I loved all the colors and patterns this year - and the great ideas for outfits on the mannequins!

I bought a pair of yellow Laceless Pop Kicks! Love em!

Love all the bright colors and florals!

Cute pair of sandals for any summer occasion!

A girl can never have too many bags! :)

 

One suggestion I have for next year would be to PLEASE have some of the
Women's Printed Canvas Shorts (like these in the photo above & directly below) 

available in the Bermuda length/style!! 

That would be AWESOME!!! :)

Love Old Navy tanks for layering all year!

And here is Olivia who was the lucky lady who received my second coupon for a FREE pair of shorts! She is looking fabulous in her Women’s Old Navy Relaxed Chino Shorts!! As a busy mom on the go, these will be perfect for her. She’ll be not only comfortable but super stylish as well!!! Doesn't she look great?!!

And here are a few photos of me in my new favorite shorts! These shorts will be great to wear to a variety of occasions this summer and for years to come! They can be dressed up with a cute top, cardigan and wedges for date night. Or super casual paired with a tank or tee and flip flops for a BBQ with family in the backyard! The shorts I chose are perfect for me and my life.  I am very happy with them! I'm wearing my Old Navy: tank, floral campshirt, cardigan, yellow pop kicks with my FREE shorts!

THANK YOU SO MUCH OLD NAVY & CROWDTAP for our FREE Shorts!!!!
