As you’ve probably gathered, I’m not much of an Old Navy shopper. By in large, I think the quality of the garments is too low even for the price and the thought put into designs is lacking. However, there are times when Old Navy does it right: insanely affordable denim, basic t-shirts, and this dress. Prints are a hard thing for a discounted retailer to pull off, which is why I typically go with solid colors if I’m shopping for inexpensive duds, but Old Navy nails it with this multi-colored floral dress. The variety of flowers and colors in the pattern make it look more expensive than it is, unlike the other two-color prints for this dress that look cheap.
As with any low-cost apparel, pairing it with luxe accessories elevates the look. I went with my go-to Ferragamo flats and a DVF clutch. Both of these have high price tags, but the cost per wear makes it worthwhile. I normally wore out a pair of black flats in the $100-150 range within a year. The Ferragamo pair still looks brand new. I’ll have them resoled when they start to look worn. The clutch is one of my absolute favorite accessories. I splurged on it a couple of years ago and haven’t had a desire to buy another black clutch since. The classic shape won’t go out of style and it’s large enough for all of your essentials.

LOVE that dress! Never would have guessed it was Old Navy! I feel the same way, I do have a couple pieces that have lasted from there but most of the time they’re just too cheap/ill-fitting

Such a chic look! I love this dress. The dark floral print is perfect!

You know what, Old Navy does have some items that I look at and thing “they want me to pay how much for THIS?” but they do have some amazing basics. And dark florals are my favorite way to transition from summer to fall—the best of both worlds!

I feel the same way about Old Navy most of the time, however I think they have a winner in this dress, very nicely worn.
What a lovely dress!

I’m often surprised at what i can find at Old Navy, and have quite a few pairs of their jeans, which are amazing for the price. It’s always nice when you can find little gems like this dress, which really does look lovely on you.
