8 Under $20: Old Navy

For many of you, school has already begun or will shortly, which means new additions to the wardrobe are necessary. Woohoo! But you don’t have to spend a lot to update that 2008 fall wardrobe.  Old Navy is a great place to get cute basics at super reasonable prices. Just pair these items (many of which are on sale!)  with the trendier items/accessories in your closet for a brand new look.

Here are a few pieces I found that’ll be great for the upcoming months…

Jeans are obviously a wardrobe staple in every college girl’s closet, but sometimes we need a little variety. I say that every gal needs a cute pair of khakis. You can wear them with a polo, a basic button down or a tee. I totally love the green of these ones. It’s a little different, but still totally neutral so you can wear these with just about anything!

I’m really digging the cut and print of this shirt (though they also have it in solid colors if print’s not your thang). But what I really heart about this tank is that you can wear it on it’s own before it gets too cool and also rock it under a boyfriend blazer for those chillier days.

Comfort is key for those long hours spent studying in the library, and these henleys are not only comfy & cute, the long sleeves are perfect for fall and even for layering come winter.

You can never go wrong with a pair of skinny jeans, especially for tucking into boots or pairing with a hot pair of pumps. But in case you’re a fan of other cuts of denim, most of ON’s jeans are on sale for $19 currently.

This may look like a basic skirt, but it might be the best deal of the year. You can rock this feminine and flirty skirt low on the waist for a more casual look, or pull it up high (to show off those legs) with a tight white tank for a more evening-appropriate look. And the teal? Hot.

It’s almost sweater weather and I love the way v-necks flatter the figure.  Plus, the argyle print is oh-so-preppy and cute for back-to-school. (Not an argyle fan?  They carry several solid colors that are adorable.)

Polo shirts are a wardrobe staple and this orange will translate right over from summer to fall with a little cardigan or white thermal underneath.

We’ve still got a few months left to wear open-toed shoes and these boho-inspired wedges are great with jeans, shorts or a cute mini.  They’re also a great way to get a little leg-lengthening height on a girls’ night out without those aching feet on the walk home.

When it comes to basics, Old Navy is definitely the way to go if you’re wanting both style and affordibility.
