On Our Radar: Old Navy Turns Over New Leaf

Just like I hinted, Old Navy is getting a fresh, youthful makeover this Spring. Already in stores are safari-themed shirt dresses, jackets, and jumpsuits in rich, earthy tones with animal print mixed in — all still at friendly Old Navy prices.

Then, in March, breezy Palm Beach-inspired dresses in bold green prints, lots of white, and even a little seersucker suiting. If this is an attempt to catch up with the Zaras and the H&Ms of the world, I say bring it on, Old Navy!

    Their new stuff is suprisingly cute. I bought a wrap dress, wrap shirt, and zebra striped sweater there 2 weeks back.

    They're going to have to try harder if they want to catch up to H&M. I like a few of the things I've seen so far, but I'm just not that impressed. I cry that we don't have an H&M in Florida.

    Cute.

    I checked out some stuff last week and I was "meh" about it.

    That clutch they show above is MASSIVE and awkward to carry around but super cute-minus the size.

    Some of the dresses didn't look AS great in person.

    omg. has anyone ever noticed that the clothes from old navy are completely crap! i wash them once and they end up with spots or fall apart. I think the things are cute but you get what you pay for i guess

    i like the urban explorer looks, but they aren't really my style.

    I actually went to the store yesterday after seeing pieces online. Not impressed. The fabrics are garbage. The upside seems to be the shoes that are coming out of this "transformation"...

    I've already bought a few of those pieces! The cranberry-colored shirtdress (which looks SO cute on), the khaki front-pocket pencil skirt, and a cute giraffe-print top. I also bought an amazing buttery-soft leather handbag in the prettiest shade of pale yellow (for only $50!) and a couple of great skinny scarves.

    Their look really HAS improved. And the prices are still unbeatable.

    I love that little giraffe-print slipdress...I didn't see that at my Old Navy! I'm going to have to look online, I love it!

    I'm enjoying their transformation. I've always liked their clothes, but especially now. Their prices are great, too.

    It's crazy how much they're emulating J.Crew these days..minus the quality of course. I like the wrap dress in the first collection.

    I never buy clothes from Old Navy - not even for the kids really! But, I was blown away by an ad campaign I saw in In Style today. Lovely stuff! I just may check it out!

    Old Navy is great, totally fun and affordable. I buy a lot of my six-year old daughter's clothing there. I love how every time they're mentioned someone feels the need to tell us all about how the quality is low. Well... duh. lol

    the quality of their fabrics are crap. and the stitching . . .i mean, you would expect more from a vertical manufacturer like Old Navy.

    i think Old Navy is getting a little big for their britches in the price department. it's like, "get over yourselves".

    they have to up the styling in Old Navy because Gap's sales are in the gutter.

    i know when i'm getting screwed over!

    besides, why shop at Old Navy, when everybody and their fat-pack granny shops there. you can spot an Old Navy garment from a mile away. . .and then you turn and see some other chick wearing it.

    The stuff in the stores look great on pictures but when i went to check it out for myself, they just didn't live up to it. Maybe they should have a pricier line like H&M Pink Collection. Better materials would definitely make those designs work.

    The pictures for March's collection look worse than the early Spring ones!
