As much as I like to think, I’m pretty in the know when it comes to fashion, one should never underestimate what they can learn from their fellow moms at morning drop-off. I was reminded of that lesson this week when I noticed a friend wearing what appeared to be a very expensive-looking and—it goes without saying but—on trend barn jacket. Upon hearing some chatter about the piece, I inched closer and that was when I heard where it was from: Old Navy! Unbeknownst to me, half the women around me the either owned, had ordered, or were actively in the process of purchasing the piece on their phones.
Thankfully, it’s not too late to jump on board because the $65 topper is still in stock along with several others from the site that are equally as chic. To see and shop the piece along with more of my affordable outerwear picks for fall and winter, just keep scrolling, and consider this a lesson on the power of occasional eavesdropping!
