Old Navy ran a 50% off outerwear last weekend in Canada. I believe the sale is still on for U.S. I got a jacket from them 2 years ago and for the price, it held up extremely well. I throw it in the washing machine many times and the shape held up amazing. So I got another one in black this time, together with the Rockstar colored cords.

The one I got a few years back is a bit different. Same material but didn't have the fleece collar. This one is much warmer than the one I have.
The Rockstar Pop-color cords in size 8 (buy here)
My first choice of color was navy/black but of course during the sale, all the sizes were gone. I got the grey one which is relatively neutral to style. These run small so I strongly suggest size up. I wear a size 4 in Gap/Old Navy and J. Crew and have to size up to a 8 in this one. The waist is a bit loose but for skinny cords, I prefer it to be not so skin-tight on the thighs.
Overall, very pleased with my weekend purchase from Old Navy. In Canada, the jacket was originally $49 and it was 50% off which came to $24. Then an additional 15% off on the weekend, making the jacket a winning $22! What a steal!
The cords were at similar price point. They were $39.50, on sale now for $25 and I also got the extra 15% off. The cords are not the really thick kind. But they are very wearable now till probably Christmas.
I live in ON Rockstars - very thin calves and ankles, and this is one of few brands that fit me correctly in that area. Checking out the puffer now - thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI will probably fit in a size 6(my regular ON is 4) but I am worried that my butt won't fit :( They are truly comfortable. No wonder so many people rave about those. Do you have the Rockstar jeans? Wonder if they fit similar.
DeleteI do, and they have more stretch...a good thing. I always try on 3 of the same size due to sizing inconsistencies. I'm a 0 in ON bottoms and wear a 4 in all the rockstar jeans and cords.
Deletethanks for getting back to me. Really a great help. I have always heard of sizing inconsistencies with their pants.
DeleteLove ON Rockstars! I haven't tried their cords yet but I love the jeans. :) Great look!!

I want to try Rockstar jeans. I will probably try a different size as the 8 is really big on my waist and when it is low-rise, it slides right down. Thank you.
Deletegreat buy!

the jacket is such a great buy! Much warmer than my other one from 2 years ago. Think I can wear it more this winter.
DeleteWow, what a bargain! Though the sizing seems strange that they run so small. Love the pants - gorgeous colour :) The jacket looks really warm and comfy too!
ReplyDeletegood that I read on a few other bloggers about the sizing. Otherwise, I would have thought I have gained so much weight that I wouldn't be able to pull my regular-sized pants on haha! Yes, what a bargain! Loving Old Navy :)
