Old Navy's Friends and Family sale for this year just happened this month. Along with my 50% off, I also got Super Cash back (which I typically turn around and use on gifts) and 4% cash back through Rakuten. Now, if the items would just arrive! I haven't actually placed an order with Old Navy since early March, so I haven't dealt with them since the pandemic. Usually they ship out orders much faster, but I've found this latest time to be quite a wait between placing the order and them putting it out for shipping. Not much of an issue right now, but might be worth noting if you're planning on placing an order as the holidays get closer. Give yourself enough time for it to arrive!
My order does have two things for my husband for Christmas, not pictured (he sometimes looks at my blog!). I'm not looking forward to wrapping them. I am absolutely horrible at wrapping! And Larry? He's basically a "use a whole roll of tape for two presents" kind of person. It can take me a good five minutes to get into anything he wraps and he takes it so seriously. If you get a present from us, you're going to automatically know which one of us wrapped it. And better yet, if it's in a bag? Yeah, it's from me. 😄 What kind of wrapper are you?
Here's what I picked up for myself! I thought about wrapping them to put under the tree, but let me be honest with myself. The chances of that happening are slim. These are probably going right into my closet for rotation. Haha!
- First-Layer Slim-Fit Rib-Knit Tank in Robbie Red - Do you think this item name has enough hyphenated words? I usually get their tanks in the tall length and they are so perfect for lounging.
- Patterned Flannel Boxer Shorts - Speaking of tall length, I'm so happy when they offer their boxers in this length. I'm 5'9", so that little extra inseam comes in handy for me. I got these two to pair together and while I'll wear them year-round, they seem extra festive for this time of year.
- High-Waisted Stevie Faux-Leather Pants - I've been wanting some faux-leather pants or leggings for so long now and I thought this was the perfect time to invest in a pair while having a nice discount. I'm familiar with the fit of Old Navy pants, so it beats taking a chance with a different brand. I'm probably the most excited about getting these and really hope I like them. Fingers crossed!
- Plaid Flannel Swing Shirt Dress - I have another version of this dress from a few years ago and I wanted an updated version and in a different plaid. These run big. I suggest sizing down! I didn't with my first one and I usually pair it with a longer cardigan to nip it in a bit and not make it look so billowy.
- Variety 5-Pack Triple-Layer Cloth Masks - Made me think of winter and we can't have too many masks right now. I'm so matchy-matchy sometimes that all I could think was that blue plaid would work with the dress and the white/red plaid matches a scarf (and the boxers above, of course) that I got last year! I haven't tried Old Navy's masks yet, so we'll see. All of my masks have elastic bands and these have adjusting straps. I'm looking forward to see what I prefer. The ones that I have from Reitmans are great. Super comfortable, don't slip, have held up well through many washes, and don't pull at the ears. Just a heads up, if you're in Canada.
This is a scheduled post, because we're on a staycation this week. I can't be home for my Thanksgiving (or my brother's 15th birthday, which hurts the most), but we're still treating the week like a vacation. I'm still contemplating if I want to take the week off of Instagram, but I guess we'll know by the time this post is live. 😀 Anyway, I'm filling this week with everything festive. Happy early Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! Please celebrate it in a safe way. I hope you're all staying safe and healthy!
