The first day of summer is in just a few days and I am in desperate need of some new dresses to wear on those hotter days! I kept seeing little ads pop up on Instagram from Old Navy and a few different pieces caught my eye so I decided to order a few dresses and try them out! Keep reading to see my Old Navy Dress Haul and whether I kept or returned each item!

Dress # 1: Fit and Flare Puff-Sleeve Floral-Print Mini Dress for Women

old navy dress haul

I ordered this dress in a size Medium in the yellow floral print! It’s different than my usual style because it’s more of a fit and flare dress, but the description said it’s great for hourglass shapes so I added it to my cart!

My first impression trying it on was ehhh. I didn’t love it to be honest. It was just whatever, but after wearing it a little, I really started to like it. It does get a little wrinkly (nothing a little steam can’t fix) but the fit is flattering and it is long enough for me as a tall girl! I don’t really have any dress like this so it really made me feel cute and put together.

I really like the puff sleeves on the dress! You can wear it on the shoulder or off the shoulder, so you can customize your look! And with the strategically placed seams at the bust, you can definitely go without a bra or wear a bandeau/strapless style bra if you feel more comfortable. The material of the dress is also super lightweight so it’s a good option for those hot summer days!

I styled it with my Lack of Color Palma Wide Fedora and some flat sandals, but it would look super cute with a headband and a pair of white sneakers! I love these Veja Sneakers, as well as some classic Keds!

This dress was a keeper for me!

Dress #2: Tiered Tie-Front Maxi Swing Sundress for Women

First impression: loooooved the color and style of this dress! It is such an easy dress to throw on and still feel really cool and stylish! I love the ease of it and it would be a great coverup!

I would have kept it but I currently have large nursing boobs and it just wasn’t flattering in that area! There’s a lot of fabric in the stomach area, so I think it would actually be great for a pregnant/postpartum momma! It also has a tie on the neckline providing easy access for nursing! So if you are in one of those categories, this dress would be perfect for you!

I ordered a size medium, but tried on a size small in stores and the fit felt exactly the same with both dresses! So I would size down if you want to order. It also comes in a cute rainbow striped print, as well as a yellow color and a blue and white striped version!

Dress #3: Waist-Defined Slub-Knit T-Shirt Dress for Women

This dress is definitely a summer basic staple! It’s lightweight, made of cotton and is just a super flattering fit! There are so many prints and colors of this dress so you can purchase a few!

I ordered a size medium (typically a size 6-8), and it fit great! I probably could have sized down but then it would be on the shorter side!

Style it with a denim jacket and tennies (affordable leopard print option// eyelet keds // white tennies or wrap a flannel around the waist, throw on a fun hat and you are good to go! It’s perfect for park play dates, a coverup after the beach/pool or something comfortable to run errands in!

Dress #4: Fit & Flare Puff-Sleeve Tiered Midi Dress

Okay! I have to admit I am loving the puff sleeve trend! I didn’t think I would because it felt like it could be a bit overwhelming but I have two puff-sleeve dresses now and love them both!

The color I ordered in this puff-sleeve dress has already sold out. I guess it was just that good! But they do have a few other colors and prints! This was the dress that I actually got an ad for on Instagram and what drew me to the Old Navy website. Those darn Instagram ads haha!

I ordered a size medium and it fit great. It’s fitted at the top, has a defined waist and then flares out on the bottom so it’s super flattering. The square neckline is really cute, and you can even wear it off the shoulders!

This dress gives me all the romantic and bohemian vibes and would be such a good dress for family photos! You can either wear your hair high in a bun to sho off your neck or wear it down in loose waves to give it more of a romantic feel. I honestly loved this dress. And did I mention it has pockets! Eeek! I love pockets in dresses!

I definitely kept this dress and am so excited to wear it out! It’s comfortable, cute and pregnant/postpartum friendly!

Final Thoughts

Overall, I was really surprised at this order from Old Navy. I kept three of the four dresses and I used coupon codes and got all three under $60 so that’s a win!

I love mixing high-end and affordable clothing to give me a well-rounded closet! I don’t always buy trendy pieces, but when I do I like to buy them at more affordable stores like Old Navy or Target, just in case I decide after a few wears that I no longer love it! If that’s the case, I can always resell on my Poshmark account!
