A Product Review of Old Navy Stores

It never fails. Every time I set out to buy a new pair of jeans, I wind up with nothing. I don't like glitter, studs, or fancy stitching on my jeans, and the baggy look isn't my style either, but this is mostly what I find when I shop. I've searched the same stores over and over again, hoping to find what I'm looking for.

When it comes to jeans, my preference is a pair of jeans that start just below my waist, have a boot-leg cut, are unadorned, and don't look like they were previously owned by a greasy auto mechanic. (In my opinion, some of the jeans I've seen for sale look dirty.) I also like my jeans to fit me well. Unfortunately, though, what I like and what I find are two different things. Even when I do find a pair of jeans I want to buy, my size (one or two) is not a choice. I've gone home empty-handed on many shopping occasions, happy that I didn't throw away my favorite old, tattered jeans as they actually looked better than most of the jeans I saw in the stores. I'd made a decision to never buy something just for the sake of making a purchase. So, for months, I continued to wear my old blue jeans and treat them with the best of care, never knowing exactly when they would fall apart and leave me with just the misfit jeans I'd erroneously purchased from a catalog and seldom wore. Then, one day, I made a stop at Old Navy and put my searching days to rest.

On my first visit to Old Navy, I made the discovery that this store has a lot to offer. After spending some time looking through a wide selection of jean styles, I found a pair I was happy with -- a pair that fit me just below the waist with a boot-cut leg, "curvy" style, unadorned, and my size. When I tried them on, I loved the way they looked on me, and the price was a reasonable $29.50. As I walked around Old Navy, I noticed there were jeans priced as low as $12.99. The highest price I saw was $34.50. I also learned that besides jeans, Old Navy sells shorts, capris, shirts and tees, sweaters, outerwear, activewear, sleepwear, shoes, handbags, jewelry and more. This is a store that has something for everyone. Old Navy is one great place to shop.
