Roughly one month ago I pulled my favorite pair of Old Navy jeans from my closet. Faded, with frayed hems and long enough for my 5’10” frame, they were just the right color of blue and super comfortable. They were perfect jeans. Notice I said, “were”.
When I put them on that day, I noticed a big hole in the left, inner thigh. Years of friction will do that. And, I’m not little. There was a lot of friction.
I wanted to cry. Okay, I did cry. Don’t judge me.
A few days later, karma stepped in. As if my trip to Chicago hadn’t turned out to be great enough on its own, it turns out that while I was there, I met a representative from Brand About Town. They looked at me, my kids and my blog and thought I would make a good Old Navy enthusiast. (Little did they know, I already was one!)
They offered me an “Old Navy Experience”. I didn’t really know what that meant, but part of me was secretly hoping to replace those jeans. So, heck yes! Sign me up!
Yesterday morning, they sent us a car. Here are the kids in the back seat just before sucking down juice boxes which the driver had chilled for them.
When we got to Old Navy, the kids ran off to pet Barker while I was introduced to our stylist.
They quickly left the dog so they could start shopping.

Great People deserve great things!! The kids are awesome and nice to put faces w/the hilarious stories. Looks like everyone had a great time – best dressed kids in school… Go back for the jeans or 2 or 3 – You deserve them!

I remember you and S.H. talking, about how much you both loved Old Navy jeans, at one of our GGWs years ago. I've been buying them ever since!
