When Old Navy invaded Canada a couple of years back, the buzz was the quality wasn't great but the prices were reasonable. I've never bought anything at Old Navy, but that's mainly because I'm not one to buy myself clothes. I have certain tops and pants I find comfortable, and I keep to them. I once got a polar fleece top for Christmas that came from the Gap and I liked the feel of it so much I went out and got three of the same top in different colours. I like simple, comfy clothes and when I find something I like I'll wear it forever. That's just the way I'm wired.
Yesterday, Taryn went to our local Old Navy because she heard about a big sale they were having and James needs a few things (James always needs a few things). She picked him up a couple of nice pieces for $5 each, but she also came home with a pair of pants for me. A pair of brown corduroy pants that were at a price she simply couldn't pass up.
So, I have my first piece ever from Old Navy and my first ever pair of cords. I've always thought cords were the geekiest pants on the planet. Taryn swears they're in style right now, but I still can't see myself in cords. How can cords suddenly be cool? How am I supposed to pull this off?
I've been wearing them all day and I must admit they're rather comfy. There may have been a cords guy within me all along that I never had the courage to free. I'm wearing brown cords and I like it!
