Old Navy Is Normal Again!

This weekend I did a little pre-spring shopping. I'm getting tired of wearing dark colors during the winter, and since it's still just hitting 40 degrees each day (if we're lucky), I needed a little spring pick-me-up. I got some great stuff at Ann Taylor Loft, but that's always a given. Their stuff always fits me well. But Ian talked me into going by Old Navy, which I've come to abhor because they ditched styles and sizes for the normal woman a couple of years back. Someone in charge there thought that women don't have breasts or hips, that women are just larger replicas of the 6-year-old body. Unfortunately for them, they lost my business when they did that because I most definitely have curves. And I like them (most of the time). So I stopped shopping at places that forgot that the normal body is just that...normal. Not super thin and not straight. Old Navy and The Gap are two places that I've stopped shopping because by trying on their clothes I started feeling bad about a body that I had liked for so long.

And then I was forced into Old Navy this weekend...and lo and behold, they've changed their styles back to what they used to be: fun, cheap, and normally sized! I actually bought some things there, including a pair of jeans (I had definitely given up on their jeans sizing)! So, if you're like me and gave up on Old Navy...try them again. It looks like they're starting to appreciate a real body again!
