Old Navy Jeans

For me, jeans are the hardest thing for me to shop for.  When I was in grammar school I refused to wear jeans because I found them to be so uncomfortable.  Even though I now wear jeans daily, I still find most styles to be uncomfortable, this makes finding pairs of jeans that I will actually wear brutal.  Also, I find myself unwilling to try new brands of jeans because I fear it will be a waste my time since, in my experience, I have not had much luck finding jeans that are the right fit for me.  That’s why I was excited to be chosen to participate in the Crowdtap Sample and Share of Old Navy Jeans.  This was my chance to give jeans that cost 60 - 85% less than the jeans I typically love a shot.

Old Navy Active Wear Pants

Last week I was fortunate enough to receive four coupons in the mail for FREE pairs of Old Navy Active Wear pants (one for me and three for friends) from CrowdTap to sample and share.

When we went to Old Navy to pick out active wear pants, I struggled initially because I found that a bunch of the options had an extra piece of fabric added to the crotch area which made everyone look "swollen" down there.  I have no clue why Old Navy added fabric there, but it made the pants with this addition unwearable in public for me.  *This issue can be fixed! (See below.)

One of the pairs that I had this issue with I bought anyway because before I had gone to the store I was determined to pick them up.--That was the Fold-Over Yoga Pants (pictured below).  I did find a solution to the extra fabric issue--I removed the fabric and sewed the pants back together and now all is as it should be.  Now I can leave the house in them and wear them out to the gym, running, taking the dog to the park, or just running errands.

I wasn't able to stop there though, after reading all of the rave reviews about the Compression Capris, I had to go back and pick up a pair!  I love them!  The material seems to be a higher quality than what I have come to expect from Old Navy based on my past experiences.  These will definitely come in handy when I'm getting ready for my next marathon and running errands this summer.

I know I picked black for my pants which is a bit boring, but aside from finding it the best option (some of the choices seemed either too old or too childish for me).  I try to keep my active wear pants colors simple because my workout and summer tops tend to have colors to them and I wanted to be able to wear these all of the time.

*I HIGHLY recommend CrowdTap and Old Navy!  You should really consider taking the time to join CrowdTap (and signing in at least once daily to complete any offers).  This is the second time in the six weeks since I joined that I have been chosen to sample and share Old Navy products and I'm waiting to hear back from them about a third sample and share offer!  I also have gotten $13.50 (5% of which is donated to a charity which you choose).
