New Season, New Clothes

This weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a Sample Share co-hosted by Old Navy and Crowdtap. I've probably mentioned this site/company before, but in case you didn't know, it is a marketing company allows other companies (Old Navy, Woolite, Playtex, Verizon, AT&T, and McCormick’s Grill-mates to name a few) to get opinions and feedback from everyday consumers like you and me to aid them in making their products better through samples and discussions. So far, I've been able to get lots of free stuff and have even given some much needed funds to various charities.

Check out Crowdtap for more sampling opportunities!

 Anyway, I took my mom along with me to the store so that she could get a free dress too! Our local store had just been renovated, and this was the first time I had visited the new store. To say the least, I was very surprised and pleased! The Turkey Creek Old Navy (Knoxville, TN) can now boast a much larger store, an awesome jewelry and accessories bar, and better dressing rooms/space.  They can also boast a super friendly staff who were very curious (and very kind) as to why my mother and I were trying on lots of clothes and taking pictures all over the store.  If you are in town, I would definitely recommend checking it out and purchasing from popcorn from Popcornopolis while you are there. My mom and I had a great time and we got some cute dresses. I picked out a light brown cowl neck sweater dress with a gathered waist band; retail price $34.96, my price $0.00.   I thought it flattered my new figure well and could be a great foundation piece for the fall/winter season.
 

For Winter, I paired my sweater dress with a long coat and scarf. Those shoes were pretty cute too, but  one size too small for me. Old Navy needs more size 11 shoes :)

My mother picked out an orange warm knit sleeveless dress paired with a matching belt; retail price $24.96, her price $0.00. Luckily, we wear the same size, so I will probably be wearing this one as well.  We also thought this was a good foundation piece and it can easily transition from the fall/winter to the spring/summer.  

I modeled it, mom purchased it. It really is a good transitional piece!

We took lots of pictures of multiple looks and overall had a great time. If you ever get the opportunity, join Crowdtap and see if you can get some new, awesome, free stuff as well.
