Armed with my Give & Get 30% off coupon I went into Old Navy on Friday to take a peek at what they had for summer. I’ve been wanting to add a pair of denim wedges, like these Christian Louboutin, to my wardrobe, along with a green skirt, like this Miu Miu polka-dot one. But my wallet really can’t afford to take hits like that right now.

I was excited when I found what I was looking for and with a % off.

Scalloped eyelet skirt in the green I wanted! (not online yet)
Also came in white.
Canvas Wedge Sandals in Denim
I also bought these in black because I was looking and needing a black sandal/espadrille.
They also come in Gold and White and are very comfy!
And my outfit on Friday.
J Crew Madras Strapless Dress
Old Navy Canvas Wedge Sandals 
I didn’t wear them out of the store but I did change into them as soon as I got in the car!
I also found a white denim jacket. I know, a little 80s, but I can pair it with the dress above (and a few others) as well as the skirt (and a few others).
If you haven’t seen the posts, Gigi’s been to Old Navy recently with some reviews on dresses, jackets and a trench.
Have a great day!

I found the J Crew Caribe Espadrille on ebay in navy last month and love them. In Target a few weeks ago I found the Merona Essie Espadrille and noticed they were familiar-looking. I was wearing the Caribe’s and did a quick comparison in the store and they are almost exact.

J Crew Caribe is a size 7.
Merona Essie is a size 6. 
The Essie in a 7 for me was way too big while the 7 in the Caribe is a perfect fit.
The way the ribbon lays is the same pattern. 
The Caribe has a suede insole while the Essie is soft and suede-like.
The heel height is the same. 
The sole is slightly different. The Caribe is all rubber while the Essie is a rubber and canvas.
I don’t know all the colors the Caribe came in but my guess is at least navy and black and possibly red.
The Essie comes in Black, Red, and Gold, in-store and online.
At $19.99 the Essie is a great deal and wears the same as the Caribe, which is no longer available (other than ebay and the JCA Exchange). 
Happy Shopping!
