Old Navy sweaters - top of my winter shopping list!

I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Old Navy sweater sample with Crowdtap, where a friend and myself could get a free sweater from Old Navy. This was great for me, because since I live in Texas, I am hesitant to buy sweaters and warm winter gear. It's just not cold very long here, and I opt for jackets and tights, things I can use to make my normal wardrobe winter like. But - Old Navy had so many adorable sweaters that I have rethought my shopping habits. (Seriously.) They had so many options, and it made the decision so difficult to pick just one. They have stripes, solids, animal print, polka dots.. you name it, Old Navy has it. What I loved most was the color variety with the solids. It's classic Old Navy to make one good product in an array of different colors. (The turquoise V-neck sweater was calling to me.) I took my best girl friend Amanda and here are a few shots of the outfits we created with Old Navy sweaters (and pop pants & jeans.)
We loved the sweaters with printed animals on them. Amanda tried on the Owl one here.
I love the versatility of the sweaters with pop pants. I especially love how many colors of sweaters go with the tan ones I was wearing here. This purple sweater was so soft and comfy!
I also tried on a soft pale pink, which I think would be so cute with black slacks for work. Here I tried it on with some Old Navy jeans. (Rockstar I believe.)
This yellow and coral sweater was so Amanda. She looks great in coral, and I love those green corduroy pants she has on!
This one was the one I ended up with. I couldn't help it, the fox sweater was too cute. I want to wear a colored shirt underneath it, with a big pony tail I think it will look so cute. I also got these jeans as well!
Their stripes are so cute as well. I am smitten with blue, so these striped sweaters were hard to pass up.
Amanda ended up going with this soft cream colored sweater. She's a teacher so these are perfect for her work wardrobe and so versatile. She also picked up some long sleeve soft jersey knit shirts as well. Ladies, I can tell you that these sweaters are the way to go. I'm also very picky about my sweaters needing to be comfortable. Often times wool or knits are itchy, and these sweaters were so soft, I was really impressed. I was also so impressed with the selection. I tried on at least 6 different ones and would have bought them all. They aren't extremely tight fitting either, I like my sweaters to have a little slack in the stomach. These are so very perfect. These sweaters are going to be great for our 50 degree weather coming in this week, I can't wait! I'm already planning to return to pick up some solid basic sweaters to wear with colored or black jeans. Happy shopping! :)
