Haul: Old Navy jacket + cardigan

Sunday, October 10, 2010

To continue with my Old Navy purchases from last week's sale, I also bought this Ruffle-Collar Wool-Blend Jacket in mellow yellow, size XS P. It reminded me so much of Lauren Conrad's yellow coat with the peter pan collar (I think that's what it's called). I love bright colored jackets for winter, as they stand out amongst the sea of dark winter colors. I didn't try too hard to "flatten" out the collar when I took the pic, but I think with some work it could look better. I was a bit iffy about the empire-waist style, especially on a coat buttoned up. As it turns out, I'm not sold on how it looks on me. It definitely looks a lot better unbuttoned. The sleeves and shoulder area was also a bit tight. I'm thinking about exchanging it for a regular XS, but with winter not even here yet, I bet Old Navy will put this jacket on the sale rack for cheaper than what I bought it for. I'll have to sleep on this one. It's currently being sold here.


I also bought the Old Navy V-Neck Cardigan in light heather gray, size XS Tall. Why tall and not regular or petite? I'm looking for a longer boyfriend-type cardigan and I figured this would fit the bill. The sleeves are a bit long, but I was prepared for that. The length was exactly what I was looking for and the material is so soft. This one's definitely a keeper! Currently being sold on their site.

  1. Oh, I'm liking the fit and color! Since it fits a little snug on you maybe it will be a winner for smaller petites.

  2. I actually quite like the yellow jacket on you! And that cardigan looks so comfortable...I am in need of a gray cardigan myself so maybe I should hop over to Old Navy now. Thanks for the review.

  6. I love that jacket, I think it looks great on you! If it's a bit snug then I would probably size up too as I wear layers in the Fall and Winter.

    I might check that jacket out, thanks!

  9. I love the yellow coat on you. The collar detail is very sweet and pretty! If I don't already have a yellow long coat, I would have pick it up. Or I just might when it goes on sale :).

  10. I love the coat! I bought a similar coat in a reddish-orange color from H&M, but returned it because it didn't have pockets. This Old Navy one may be a winner!

  11. I actually really like the coat!! I've never had a coat that fits as snugly as that one looks on you, so I'm slightly taken aback. Will definitely try it out if there's a good sale or coupon, since I hate paying retail :P

  12. I saw that online and was a little skeptical just like you since empire waists look better with a longer length. I'm loving the style though! I think I'm going to check it out as well. =0D

  15. I almost bought this jacket and I regret I didn't! I love the colour and you are right, not only that it stands out, it brightens up a dreary winter day!

    Just found your blog today and I'm glad I did!

  16. Online deals at Do You Want To Be Restored : The coat is truly extremely nice! I'm a little surprised since that coat fits you so snugly—I've never had one like that. I detest paying retail, so I'll definitely give it a try if there's a nice deal or coupon.

  17. That's too bright yellow coat, I'd prefer it brown or black. But you look great in it! Best web deals at Bible for Free

  18. The coat is really very lovely! Considering how tightly the coat fits you, I'm a little shocked. Internet specials at Giving Bibles
