I’m going to be honest, I was not going to blog today because, hello? I’m still coming off of Halloween. BUT I found these jeans and have been loving them and thought, I’d do an old-fashioned Outfit of the Day post instead 😉 . One outfit with some fun pieces that we can wear all fall and winter long.
Let’s work backwards now, shall we?
So, this is my final outfit. My new jeans (more on those in just a bit), my over the knee boots, a sweater (yes, the same one I showed you last week but in cream because IT IS SO AMAZING!), and my little jacket from the Anniversary Sale 2016 (similar one HERE). All things I love.
Here it is without the jacket. Remember the sweater from Friday…
I just loved it so much, I went back and grabbed cream too.
These boots are Steve Madden which means THEY’RE COMFY! Amen.
Look how cute the back of the boots are!
So, it all started with my new jeans.
I was getting my hair highlighted last week and lamenting to my stylist/friend that I’m so sad that Gap has been disappointing me these days. Remember how much I used to love Gap? Remember??? I was a Gap addict! But they have realllllly been letting me down. Anyway, we were chatting about Gap when she told me that Old Navy was the new Gap. I was like, really? And she was like, YES! Then she pointed to the super cute jeans she had on and told me they were from Old Navy. I. Loved. Them.
I thought the distressing was fun and the price was PERFECT! She told me to size down, so I did, and they fit like a glove! I have worn them now three times and am so pleased!
So, that’s it. I love my new jeans and wanted you to know about it 🙂 . I bought “dark worn” wash but they in many other colors (black, gray, red, white, etc). Then just yesterday, I looked over at Gap and saw that they had some of their holiday stuff out…and it made me happy because the stuff was pretty cute. I ordered a few things, so we’ll see. Gap always shines this time of year…maybe they’ll be shining again this holiday season?! I’ll keep you posted 🙂 .
Happy November, friends!

Happy November! I really like your first outfit – it’s so simple, but the clean and neutral colours make it great for fall. The sweater looks really cosy as well!

I love this outfit! Perfect for fall and winter! I am not sure what size to get in the sweater. It says to size down but I don’t want it to be tight(: Did you order your regular size? I hope you had a great time with your kids last night!
Mix and Match Mama says
I ordered xs which would be my regular size. I don’t think I would recommend sizing down.
Sarah says
I have two pairs of ON jeans that I like!! I bought them after having my third baby, so they’re a bit big now, but I do like the style/fit. I’ll need to grab a few more pairs that actually fit, haha.
Also, have you tried Express jeans? I bought a pair over the weekend and they are great!! My only complaint is they’re mid-rise, which I didn’t realize (I prefer mid/low).
I always forget about Gap!! A friend of mine just got some cute things from there, I’ll have to check it out!!
Happy November!!!

Speaking of jeans, after all the candy I ate last night I probably need to order some new ones. 🙂
Sheaffer Sims says
You’re right about GAP shining during the holidays! There is a sherpa hoodie cardigan thing that I’ve been hearing about. I need to just order it already. And those jeans are darling on you!
Michelle Whitaker says
Hi Shay. I loved your Halloween costume. I didn’t recognize you until you posted your family photo. So clever. Anyway I’ve been wanting to order some Ugg slippers. I love the new ones you are wearing. Are those the chestnut or the tamarind suede? Have a lovely day.
Mix and Match Mama says
Those are chestnut 🙂 .
Bethany says
I have been loving J. Crew jeans. I ordered two pair from ThredUP =)
Sarah Shaneyfelt says
My mom and I were just talking about how GAP wasn’t what it used to be! We used to shop there all the time and now it’s really hit or miss. I’ve never worn Old Navy jeans but they look so good on you!

Love this post…love Nordstom too, but I’ve really missed seeing your finds from Old Navy, Target and Gap.
And this is a crazy question…but do you ever just go barefoot around your house? I do and deal with dry/cracked heals and I usually get asked when I have pedicures if I go barefoot a lot. Just wondering if there is a connection.
Mix and Match Mama says
My feet get so cold, so no, I hardly ever walk barefoot!!
Whitney says
I love your phone case and popsocket – where did you get them???
Mix and Match Mama says
Amazon!
Narci says
Oh, those jeans are darling on you! And, I love that sweater and those boots! So pretty!!!
Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams says
Love all the pieces in this outfit! There is just something about a new pair of jeans, isn’t there?! Gap is one of my favorite holiday spots to shop.

Hi Shay!
American Eagle jeans have changed my life! I don’t normally shop there but buy all of my jeans there now. They often have buy one get the other pair 50% off. Their free shipping and returns is super convenient too! The thing I like best about their jeans is the different sizing options. The high rise jeans are amazing. I’d never bought them before but don’t think I could go back now! I also love that they have different length options…short, regular, long, x-long. This is my current favourite pair:

Have a great day!
Natalie says
Hi Shay,
Did you order the regular or short inseam in the jeans? Or petite? (not sure of the difference) I’m 5’4″ so right in the middle. Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I ordered regular!
Lisa says
Hi Shay! I love your clothes posts but wondered if you would do a closet tour? Thanks! Lisa Thomason
J L says
Would love to see more clothing recommendations from Old Navy! 🙂
Erin Port says
I got the boyfriend distressed Old Navy jeans this summer and I loved them, I was so shocked because in the past ON jeans did not work for me. Yay Old Navy and their kids clothes this fall are on point too! xoxo ERIN
sydnee says
Love the distressing on the jeans! I have to check out Old Navy.

I only wear Old Navy Rockstar jeans! They are my favorite!
Lauren D says
Little bit of info about Old Navy jeans – no matter how many times you wash, the ink comes off on any surface. My work desk chair is covered and I would keep my cell phone in my pocket and the case would turn a navy color. Just be careful! Another place to try is NY&Co. They have great jeans and always have coupons.
Kourtney says
I love ON jeans! I am 5’3″ so I have trouble finding the right length that don’t need to be cuffed, and their short length is perfect.
Chrystianne Santos says
As I was reading this post, I was thinking, “I have to tell Shay about the Old Navy Rockstar Jean.” But it seems that you have discovered it already haha. I have the regular midrise Rockstar jean in black that I am in LOVE with. So comfy and awesome price! Old Navy has been rocking it the past year. I have bought affordable dresses, athletic wear, pants, etc. Excited to see if you’ll feature any Old Navy clothing in the future 😉 Happy Wednesday!
Jessica Doyle says
These Rockstar Jeans from Old Navy are literally the only ones ill wear! they are so comfortable and look super cute!
Jill Foster says
Old Navy is definitely the new Gap. I go into the store to try the clothes on, then come home and see how cheap I can order them on line. My goal is to never pay over twenty dollars! You can find the items on sale and then get another 30-40% off depending on the discount of the day. It’s turned into a fun game for me and has led to a closet full of Old Navy!
Julie says
I agree about Gap!
But!, I did just get their “print flannel sleep pants” (http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=38126&pcid=29504&vid=1&pid=920550022) and they are some of my favorite PJs EVER. They are just so soft and comfortable, I’ve been living in them. (Plus, cute sleep sweatshirts with sayings about coffee). I also got my kids the same plaid PJ pants and they also love.
Also, I made your witch’s brew last night for Halloween-the kids and parents LOVED. Thanks for sharing that recipe. Happy Fall-can’t wait to see your holiday decorations.
Morgan Homan says
Oh I’m a Gap lifer and have been so, so let down by then lately. BUT I did try their new 360 stretch jeans and I’m in LOVE! Unlike ALL of their denim forever, these keep their shape and do not stretch out as you wear them. I’ve worn them 5 times before needing to wash. Maybe they’re making a comeback. Excited for holiday!
Becky says
Earrings? I like be them.
Tyson says
This will sound very 1994 ?, but I have been shopping a little bit at Abercrombie and Fitch! I went in because of my 11 year old daughter. They have cute jeans and I got a great military jacket and vest from there as well.
As for the Gap, their GapFit line is awesome right now…the leggings, this super cute jacquard funnel neck sweater/sweatshirt…you seriously need to order some things! They were all 40% off and will be again, I’m sure.
Sara Young says
Super cute outfit! Love all of it…including your phone case! Can you link it, or do you recall the brand off Amazon?
Emily Bullock says
Hi! I was wondering you got the blue rug in your closet? I love it so much!! Thanks!
Shelby says
Love this post!! Old Navy is life! Not sure if you looked around much while you were there/ordering but they really do have the cutest things- sweaters, skirts, scarves, shoes, and ALWAYS ON SALE!
Angela Ellingson says
I usually never shop at Old Navy. Something about the store is not my favorite. But just a few weeks ago 2 people referred me there for boots/booties for my daughters and sure enough they were the cutest ones I could find.
Alexis deZayas says
I’ve been hearing such good things about Old Navy Jeans lately too! Going to have to check them out!
Kayla B says
So jealous you can wear suede shoes! Here in the midwest, by the time it’s cold enough to wear boots suede is out of the question cause of the salt and moisture on the roads. Cute outfit!
Christi says
How high does the waist sit on you? I felt like the mid rise sat as high on me as high rise, where do these hit you?
Mix and Match Mama says
Right at the belly button. Not too high or too low.
Jana says
I just got a pair of the midrise Rockstar jeans and I love, love, love, them! It makes me want to replace all my old jeans because they fit so goo!
Emily Sarmiento says
What size did you get in the jeans? 🙂

Oh and by the way . . I am loving Old Navy this year. I never cared for their things in the past but this year they have been nailing it!
Heather says
Lovin those ON jeans. Perfect amount of distressing! Just placed a huge order with gap this morning. Loving the sweater dresses, scarves and all the metallics they are showing for the holidays!
Brittany Howey says
Oh my gosh. Once I found Rockstar Old Navy jeans I have never went back to buying any other jeans. They really are the best!
Amanda says
Those are great jeans and old navy is way cheaper than gap too!
Rebecca Brittain says
Old Navy can be a hit or miss for me in the past when it comes to their pants/jeans but I’m excited to try these jeans! I’ve owned a pair of Rockstars in the past and they were pretty great. Thanks for sharing!

This post makes me SUPER excited about fall clothing! Yay! And every time I see your UGG slippers I tell myself I need a pair, but I just can’t pull the plug. I just might have to add them to the Christmas wish list!

Hey Shay, Where did you get your cute, gold pop socket on your phone?
Mix and Match Mama says
Amazon!
Mary C says
I am living for the old navy high rise denim, I have a few pairs and they are awesome. I am also living for high rise flare denim I got from American Eagle. 2 stores I would not normally shop in, have recently become the best places for denim 🙂
PS: I made your pumpkin bread sausage casserole for Halloween night, and it was a hit. So good. thanks!!
Robin says
Hi Shay! Old Navy is a fun place to shop! I heard a Christmas song on the radio this morning and thought of you!

Lindsay @ Lindsay's Sweet World says
Old Navy is one of my favorite stores EVER. They have been KILLING it with the selections for the last few years! Great great stuff!
Kim says
Hi Shay! Gap Inc. is closing over 200 Gap and Banana Republic locations to focus on Old Navy and Athleta which is all owned by the same company Gap Inc. I’m a huge fan of Old Navy and those jeans look great on you. Also loved the Halloween costumes, how fun!! Happy November! ?
Nicole says
Yay! It’s time for the best season of them all. 🙂 So, what do you do today with all your Fall/Halloween decor? Leave it all up until Christmas decor? When is that? Thanks!
Bri says
I am a huge fan of Rockstar jeans from Old Navy! I have them in the dark worn wash, as well as the black distressed & a ripped ankle hem version. They’ve all held up so well & it’s a price point that I love! Can’t recommend them enough!
Kerri says
I started buying Old Navy Denim a while back and haven’t stopped and then when we have a sale it’s even better!
Tish Ferry says
Just curious, when do you write most of your blog posts and how many days in advance? Bc I know you are not a night owl (neither am I!) but your blogs post right when you get up in the morning. 😉
Mix and Match Mama says
Early in the morning about two days before 🙂 .
Lilly Gorman says
Ordering those jeans now! I so wish I could justify ordering the sweater, too. We used to live in Irving, but we’ve moved to Houston just last year. It’s wayyy too hot + humid to break out my sweaters! Love that look though with the sweater + jacket combo. So cute!

Happy November, Shay! The year has flewn by extra quickly this year. Love the boots, definitely will do a huge Gap and Old Navy haul.

Love the jeans! Sorry if you’ve done this and I missed it, but could you please do a closet organization post sometime? I’m always trying to sneak peeks in your pics!
Lauren says
Old navy is my new jam now! Surprising but I’ve been very impressed lately. I bought the same jeans (mid rise rockstars) but in olive and I loveee them! You should totally try those out now if you love the worn jeans. ☺️
Jessica Beining says
I have those exact jeans and love them!!! They look great on you!
