Off the Rack: Old Navy's April Colors




Last week I stopped by Old Navy to see what was new for spring. From colorful t-shirts and cardigans to bright flip-flops and scarves, Old Navy is all about happy pops of color and cheerful floral prints. Highlights include inexpensive workout gear, casual shorts and a few seriously cute bathing suits - the selection was very limited at my store, so don't wait too long to check these out. I didn't really see any cute dresses or shoes but hopefully more options will become available as the season goes on. The clearance racks held a few fashionable gems, too, like on-trend boyfriend shirts and the leopard shirt I featured in this post. Have you been to Old Navy lately? Did you like what you saw?
