Budget Friendly & Fashion Trendy

It is a well-known fact that “Plus Sized” clothing can be more expensive than most. Some of the major players in plus size fashion would have us paying over $100.00 for a simple dress that frankly wasn’t quality made.

I have done the research, put in the legwork so to speak and discovered when I am on a budget and need an outfit, I can usually always depend on Old Navy. I remember the days back when they carried their plus size line in the stores but now we have been banished to online shopping only. At first I was offended and made a huge deal about it and even contacted their headquarters for a reasonable answer. Their answer was simple: we don’t sell enough plus size clothes to fill the shelves. I was shocked because I know I’m not alone, the globe is filled with vivacious curvy girls in need of cute clothes that don’t break our bank accounts……right?

However, I knew my sisters were out there, starved for cute and affordable clothes just as I was.

So I have come to share the wealth of knowledge that is Old Navy: Plus size online store. I love the variety, extended sizes, clothes are well made and also affordable. I like the fact that there is always a sale online, free shipping at times and free returns (in case something doesn’t fit).

It is not all sunshine and cookies, there are a few things I’d like on the record. They have a bad habit of regurgitating styles but in a different pattern and often make some of their clothes too thin. I’d also like to see a sexier variety, some styles are very “Little House on the Prairie” and could use an extra spark. In addition, I am not a fan of their accessories and shoes but that doesn’t mean someone else won’t like them.

Overall though it’s a great, solidly consistent place to get plus sized fashion. Here are a few of the things I LOVE most about ON fashion.

They allow shoppers to review clothes and include topics like: true to size, too big or too small and everything about the fit and materials
Reviews are usually pretty accurate
Fully stocked clearance section
They pair clothing together so we can see whole outfits
They offer a very large selection of tops and bottoms
Always offer discounts
You can pair basics like shirts and tanks that are cheaper with other stores more expensive items for a layered look
