Hey, All Things Abigail readers! Melissa has graciously consented to letting me use her blog to review our recent venture to Old Navy, where we scored some free active wear, courtesy of Old Navy & Crowdtap:
Two Sundays before Christmas is a DANGEROUS time to head to a major shopping complex, but the allure of free active wear was just too strong to resist. Melissa convinced me to pull my lazy butt out of bed early and we hit Old Navy about 30 minutes after the mall opened---perfect timing! Old Navy was pretty empty when we arrived and we had the dressing room to ourselves (always a bonus, with a toddler running around).
The selection of styles and colors was pretty slim at our local Old Navy; most of the pants were black, and being New Englanders in mid-December, we both chose to bulk up our winter wardrobe by selecting a multi-tasking fleece jacket:
Black is my wardrobe staple, and I swore I’d pick a “color” for this sample share....but, I wanted something I could get away with wearing at work. My building is wicked drafty and this black fleece perfect! The zip down was available in a few other colors, but they either weren’t office appropriate, or they were white (and me wearing white never ends well). I really wanted to try either the GoDRY Running Top or the active stretch pullovers (love the little thumb holes) but (of course!) our store didn’t have either in stock:
As for pants, there really wasn’t much of a selection, basically different black or grey styles of yoga pants. There were a few compression pants, but they were all capris (and let’s be serious, it’s NEW ENGLAND and its COLD!). Melissa and I dug through racks and racks of black yoga pants, finally settling on this flattering bootcut pair:
Honestly, it’s been too cold to wear these, but I'm sure I will pull out the yoga pants next week when my sister and I start our new workout routine: cardio kickboxing on the Wii! (Let's all take a moment & hope she doesn't end up kicking me in the head during an intense workout).
And of course, an All Things Abigail post wouldn't be complete without an appearance from Abigail herself! Here’s all three of us in the dressing room area at ON (notice the “our faves!” in the background):
If you haven't signed up for Crowdtap yet, you totally should! Last year alone, I received about $200 in free Old Navy merch, plus a few other random sample shares, AND you get rewarded for participation with Amazon gift cards. Pretty awesome, huh?
