Let's figure out what to wear in our "middle age" and enjoy ourselves along the way!
Welcome to my channel!

Yes re the buttons. I’ve noticed that placement myself and have stopped from buying as I know it will bug me forever 😆
Are these top rated or just best sellers? I think there is a big difference. I think there should me a most returned rating, which in my opinion would be more helpful than best seller.
I say this as someone with well off parents and not as a dis at all. Tell me you’ve never worked retail without telling me you’ve never worked retail: “End display thingy.”😂
😂 I did work retail in college a little bit that was a long time ago! Haha!
I look forward to your vids. I appreciate your critiques! Too many other influencers out here giving dishonest reviews. Loved the trench!
I’m a size 6 also, my opinion is most of the clothes were too big on you, especially the jumper
I really enjoy your reviews. We are a lot alike with clothes. I critique harshly and have to love everything about an item to keep it. If not, I tend not to wear it and I’ve wasted my money. I wonder if these are best sellers because people just don’t return them or they wear them once and toss. We must be cautious of the fast fashion trend as it is killing our environment. Fashion/ clothing is a huge polluter, so choose wisely and choose well for the long haul. 😀
Thank you for being honest. I’m tired of all the fake reviews .
Love your videos!
It’s called “Impűls buy” hahahaaha!!!!
I love how you point out the stitching differences with the workout tops. Really helpful how you show us which is better quality and smoother.
I modeled once for a sports clothing line. They offer their clothes in different sports teams. I modeled and was photographed in one of each item in a random color then they photoshopped the team colors and logos in. It was crazy. Also they didn’t have me model “my size”. They had me model much larger items and then seriously used binder clips and clothes pins and then positioned me to make it drape the way they wanted in the photo. No wonder we buy things and then it doesn’t look like the picture when we get it and try it on.
What is up with the sweater vests? Yuk.
Great video! I like the idea of a smaller closet and wearing what I own. I also don't need 247 outfits. I need about a 2 week rotation between work, church and home. Even at that, it means things are only getting worn a few times a month. I realized how little one needs when I started doing a monthly capsule - no buying new, I just swap in and out things at the beginning of every month based on what I've got coming up next few weeks and the weather. That was eye-opening. Lots of things never got worn. I have too many work and church clothes and not enough casual at home clothing. Finally, it made so clear to me how much I have. How I don't need anything else at this time and how much variety can be gained by the introduction of just one or two new tops/dresses/bottoms.
I'm waiting for your "Top Weirdest Named Brands on Amazon" video. 😀
😆 my first thought is that would be a really short video, but actually it could probably get pretty long! Funny how we start to recognize these brands after a few videos!
Another great video!
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!
The jumpsuit, trench coat and crochet top looked good you. Don't be so hard on yourself I think you're beautiful. Not trying to be weird. We all have something we don't like about ourselves. Thanks for the videos! 🙂
Thank you! I try not to be too hard on myself I am just super picky!
The trench looked great!
Like the looks of that sweatshirt
It is cute and comfy!
I LOVE your videos!! Keep 'em coming!!
Thank you!! 😃
Hit Old Navy at the beginning of the season when sweaters are expensive and have mark down ability. I have two pairs of pants that were originally $59. Better quality. Worth every penny at $29. I have a jersey that I bought for my son second hand twenty years ago. Still in great shape after many many washings. Their quality has diminished over the years. I have learned their tee shirts are crap…thin with a twist. Always a twist.
It is hit or miss for sure!

Someone’s old shoes can give you a fungal infection and even a wart
🤢
I have a few jeans from Old Navy, they all tend to stretch out and wearing belts with them is a must! I did get a good deal on some basic leather belts from old navy to wear with my jeans. If you don’t mind that they aren’t bad. I prefer American Eagle brand more.
So many people have suggested American Eagle! I will have to try those!
@@playingthemomgame Please post a video trying those, and belts too.
Their swimsuits are great but this year there is no butt coverage 😮
I have one from Old Navy that I bought last year and it is decent coverage but I haven't tried them this year and I'm not surprised!
Plantar warts in shoes you wear with bare feet- no thanks.
Fair enough!
Eyelet!🤣
Oops! 😬
Your Link page isn’t working 😢 New subscriber! Thanks for the video! My daughter just graduated college and she’s found some great work wear from Old Navy!!live the super cash too 😊
Thanks for letting me know!! I need to correct those. I like the super cash too!
I like old navy been shopping there since the 90s . You just need to shop in store to look and see the different clothes they have to offer . They also match their online prices in store 😊
Yes definitely the best is to shop in store! And things are always cheaper online so that is a great tip to price match!
Our store hasn’t allowed price matching. I’m jealous!
Eyelets
Oops!
XXL-> plus sizes can sell out before they go on sale. They don't stock enough of that size. This has been going on forever. There was a dress i wanted, 100% cotton $40. It was restocked 5X's, in 5 colors and the 3 sizes I can wear (incl talls) never went on sale. I have to pay full price to get some colors/syles.
That is frustrating!
@@playingthemomgame I think better quality items get labeled as "best sellers" and are exempt from most sales.
I just discovered your videos. I am a lot like you- very critical of the clothes I try on. I get frustrated with the influencers who ‘love’ everything they try on and decide they have to have this. The amount of clothes these folks ‘buy’ is not realistic and irresponsible. Then you look at the links online and the clothes look awful and or sloppy. Thanks for being real!
Thanks for watching! I am picky to a fault I think! 😃
Agree with everything you said. I actuallly have stopped buying jeans at Old Navy because of the massive selection - I just find it too overwhelming and too much effort to have to sift through 50 different styles of jeans to find a pair that are probably not going to last too long. I prefer to pay a little more at a different store for a pair of jeans I know will last for years.
It is overwhelming! I also prefer Kut from the Kloth which are a little pricier but have found Old Navy jeans that I also like when I took the time to search and try a bunch.
I don't buy Old Navy tshirts anymore and definitely avoid the slub knit. They get holes very easily. I am 5'4" and in some dresses I buy the tall size online becyI know dresses made of rayon or cotton will shrink.
Yeah I just don't think they are very well made. I think going into it you have to think of them as emergency t shirts haha.
I avoid anything slub from Costco too. I wasn't familiar with Old Navy before I did an online order and pretty much all the items (even pants) were a size larger than expected.
Old Navy does tend run a bit big or boxy. But not always which is so frustrating.
We don't have a Costco membership so I've never tried their clothes slub or not. Old Navy is all over the place with sizing I think. I can find some things I like but it helps to just go into a store!
Yes! The slub knit stuff is the worst😂
Yes!!
You look like a smaller sz than what your trying on. That might be the problem. But I do enjoy your videos. We live 2 hours away from an Old Navy.
I agree with everything especially the slub!!
I’m glad you agree!!
Old Navy clothes wash terrible. Beyond cheap. Walmart is even better - by A LOT.
I had had both experiences- clothes that wash well and clothes that don’t. I haven’t tried much from Walmart though!
@@playingthemomgame I hadn’t tried much from Walmart until recently and found their cheap tank tops to wash especially well. Love your channel and your personality!
I’ve bought and worn lots of old navy clothes for years. I’m happy I can get talls there as I’m 5’10”. Quality can be hit or miss but Ive learned what works and what doesn’t. I wash and hang dry lots of tops as I never want them to shrink, cuz that tall thing. 😅 have a black slub knit t shirt dress from 2017 that’s still great! Style was a bit different then and I wish they’d bring that style back!!
Speaking of ruffles, I bought the ribbed tank w/ ruffled sleeves when they were on sale for $8. Heard that it does not stand up to washing. :(
Shoot! I hate reading reviews like that after I buy them!
The tank with the double ruffle does not wash well- you have to iron awhile to make them look good
@@lesann1896 Thank you, I was wondering about that. Saw them on clearance today at my Old Navy for $6, only in the hot lavender shade which is the one I bought.
Thanks for the tips! Slub knit is very unforgiving & gets weirdly misshapen (like if you pull on it in any way, it stays that way forever) & the material starts feeling scritchy & itchy after it's washed. I avoid it, though every now & then I find myself "giving it another chance." 🥴
Yeah it definitely gets misshapen! And I agree I sometimes end up with some “slubs” but I usually regret it!
My husband can't understand why I order clothes online and then return most of them - he should watch your video. I love how you do try and make outfits work 😂
😂 that’s online shopping for you! We call it “shopping at home” 😀
I LOVE the vintage tshirts from old navy! They are just about perfect!! I ordered 6 last night in the 50% off sale in different colors. (6 = free shipping. I’m one of those people!). I ordered them in XXL petite. Just got a bleach stain on my lime green vintage tshirt so it’s being moved to the sleepwear drawer. I hope they offer that same color next summer! It’s one of my favs. Really enjoy your videos!! I’m a KZread addict! I don’t have cable. I only have notifications turned on for less than 10 channels and yours is one of them!!! 😊😊😊
Aww I love that thank you!! I am also a minimal-subscription KZreadr so I feel honored! 😊 I have tried the vintage tees too and I liked it I just think I need a tall for a little more length!
I could be wrong but isn't slub a type of fabric?
Is it?
Well I kind of looked it up and it seemed like a texture or the way they make the fabric?
It’s a texture. Can be in silks, polyesters, cotton, wool, etc. The fibers are spun in such a way that thread is thick and thin, so when woven or knitted the fabric has a random texture.
Perfectly timed with their 50% off sale! one thing I would add is don’t sleep on their tall sizes (or petite)…some people forget they offer other sizing options. It’s great to have an affordable brand offer tall.
Haha I didn’t even try to time it but if I had looked I would have mentioned it! Thats a good point about all the sizes too!
What drives me the most crazy is their inconsistent sizing. I have from XS to XL🤦🏻♀️. Looking at models helps but reading the reviews is definitely helpful.
You are so right. I have the Rockstar skinny jeans in a 12 but had to buy the colored denim shorts this year in a 14, 12 fit but was kinda tight. Same w/ the sundresses.
Yes the reviews for sure! And then still maybe order a couple sizes…
*Watch my Old Navy capsule wardrobe attempt next!* kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmar2rSyp5S1n5c.html
I love getting those boxes, it’s fun to unpack surprises…but I’m usually disappointed ☹️
I love unpacking them too!
Those jeans are old lady style! 😂but the bomber jacket is cute
Haha old lady style! I thought they were pretty trendy but not for me!
Superb upload, Playing the Mom Game. I clicked that thumbs up icon on your upload. Persist in the excellent work. Looking forward see more content from you.
I wore a long, flowy summer dress this week when I went to Goodwill. It worked great. You should definitely take off your coat next time. I also have tried wearing leggings, a tight camisole top, and a looser button up shirt. You can try the jeans on right over the leggings. It stinks that Goodwill has removed all of their dressing rooms and didn't even put up mirrors for us.
I appreciate your honesty and completely agree with your strategy - only buy what you love. I’ve returned many items because they aren’t worth the money or the space they’ll take up in my closet.
