J. Crew lookalikes from Old Navy


So I've been restricting spending a lot in the new year -- and doing a decent job if I do say so myself.  Still, I had to take advantage of some J. Crew-like items from Old Navy. I was inspired by several of my favorite bloggers who took advantage of these items. The prices were great. My chief complaint is the discrepancy between online and in-store price. It gets exhausting to check where you get the better deal. I wish the stores and the web could just offer the same price. But such is the life of a bargain hunter, I suppose.

The ditsy floral women's patterned shirt looks a lot like the "Margaret Annie" Liberty shirt found here. (Shout out to Beach Chic Style for the tip on this one!)I bought it last week in store for $15 (NOTE: It's cheaper in-store than online) plus an extra 10 percent off for cardholder Tuesdays.

I bought a black gingham shirt for the same price, $15 plus 10 off. I wanted a black gingham perfect shirt for a while now after missing the boat on it last year.


Lastly, the chiffon polka dot blouse looks a lot like the Blythe blouse J. Crew offered a few months back. I got a better deal online than in store: $17.50 plus a promotional discount!

What have YOU bought at Old Navy lately? Have you bought any of these tops? If so, what are your thoughts on the quality?

  1. I like the fabric on the Liberty lookalikes. I'm happy with mine. I also own the polka dot chiffon, but in the tan color. Like that, too. Rather often I need machine friendly gear. I have to put a barrier between myself and some of those tops from J Crew, every now & again.

  2. Thanks for the shout out, TC. Also, for the heads up on 10% off Tuesdays as I wasn't aware of that.

    1. Yeah --- if you use an Old Navy, GAP or Banana card on a Tuesday, Old Navy AND GAP offer an extra 10 percent off anything -- even sale items! I don't think it works with a coupon, but it works with in-store promotions.

  3. Ive noticed a lot of J. Crew dupes at old navy too. It's made me rethink my opinion of them. Wish their sizes were more consistent though.

    Love your blog. I'm a new follower.

    1. Yes, consistency at Old Navy is definitely a problem. Sometimes I wear a Small, sometimes a Medium, sometimes other sizes!

      I will be sure to regularly visit your blog! Thanks for being here!
