As some of you might know, I’m taking my family back home to Perú in a couple of weeks. I am ecstatic. Looking forward to eating tons of ceviche and helado de lucuma while hanging out with all the people I love so dearly. My family has yet to meet my son, Santiago, and I get to spend my birthday over there — something I haven’t done since I was a child.
But one of the things I’m looking forward to the most is getting away from the cold since it’s summer in that part of the hemisphere right now! However, this has meant looking for children’s summer clothes in the dead of winter. I kept some of my daughter’s clothes from last summer, but only a few things fit since she’s grown some since then. My son, on the other hand, has absolutely no summer clothes, save for a bunch of second-hand T-shirts I got from a good friend’s son. Still, no shorts whatsoever.
I have to admit it was kind of weird to shop for summer clothes while it was snowing outside, I was super happy when I realized that not only did Old Navy already have summer clothes for the kids, but they’re also having a mega sale — both online and at stores — on their kids and baby clothing until Feb. 17th. There’s also a coupon for an additional 25% off on any one item (in store only) which you can find here.
The first thing my daughter went for were the bathing suits since the one thing she’s loving the most about the idea of going to Perú is that we’ll be going to the beach! She hasn’t been to la playa since May of last year in Miami.
I’ve always loved Old Navy for their affordable clothing since kids, especially when they’re my son’s age, outgrown stuff so quickly! But what I’ve always really, really liked is that a lot of their T-shirts are made in Perú, with our world-renown cotton which is super soft!
I ended up getting 4 cargo shorts for Santiago, one graphic T-shirt, one polo shirt and one shirt which he’s wearing on this picture together with one of the belted cargo shorts. I can’t get over how cute and big he looks!
For Vanessa, I bought a pair of patchwork bermudas which she’s wearing on this picture with one of two tank tops. I also got her two graphic T-shirts. Now both my kids are pretty much ready to swap the snow for the sand all for just $100! Want to see how much you can get at Old Navy for your babies and kids with $100?

I should win this because all of my work clothes are from yard sales and I would just love to buy something new
I would give this gift card to my sister since she loves shopping at Old Navy
How exciting to be traveling to Peru! Have fun! Funny thing… my husband just noticed the OLD NAVY sale last weekend and I told him not to get too excited because it wasn’t in the budget. He wants to replace a sweater. The rest would go to clothing our continually growing-out-of-their-clothes 1- and 3-year olds.

I would give the “Old Navy gift card” to my niece. She is the Mother of five young boys, and they are growing so fast. They need some Spring clothes. Thank you for this opportunity. I am following, liking, joining, and subscribing. gainessimmons@aol.com
I would love to win this as Old Navy is one of my favorite stores to shop. They not only have the latest fashions, but they are also reasonably priced!

I would use it to keep my five kids in clothes! Thanks for the chance
I’ve recently become unemployed and money has gotten even tighter so by winning this card , it would help with getting some clothes for two fastly growing toddlers
I should win because we are on a tight budget.I would use it for summer clothes for the kids.
I should win this gift card because I could use new spring clothes for the kids and I’d use it for new spring outfits
I would like to win it for my kids. I would like to get my daughter new jeans and khakis for school. She gets holes in the knees from playing in the playground. I would also like to get my son some clothes becuase we just use hand me downs from his cousin. It would be so nice to get him clothes that represents his identity.
I would use this groovy card to buy sloths for my sons-thank you

My daughter has a birthday coming up, and she could really use (and wants) some new clothes!
My son just won’t stop growing no matter how much I ask him to. The clothes I buy only fit for about 6 months at a time, and then we go back to the store and spend a few hundred bucks on new clothes again. It’d be nice to pick some up on someone else’s dime for a change
Thanks for the giveaway!
Dont have many fashions nowadays as things are tight we dont buy nothing much except necessities, I’d like to get tops and a jacket
I could use this to help outfit our family for an upcoming family vacation to San Diego.
I should win this gift card because my son is FINALLY free of the girl who sent my high school valedictorian son down to 3 F’s and a C in college last semester and I have not said ONE WORD about my feelings on the subject (the girl – not the grades). He loves Old Navy clothes, so I would give the GC to him and let him buy whatever he wants.
Oh I would love to get clothes for my growing baby Maya and actually Adrian is going to need summer clothe!
Dariela´s last post ..Happy 1st Birthday Maya linda!
If I was the ‘lucky’ winner of the $100 Old Navy Gift Card, I would give it to my younger brother and my sister-in-law! They ‘welcomed’ twin girls in December and could ‘definitely’ use new baby clothes for the twins!
Thanks for the great giveaway offering!
Good Luck to All!
I had my second child last Summer and I look at my closet, and it seems like I won’t be ready to wear my old Summer clothes, so I desperately need to update my wardrobe… but knowing myself, I bet I would end up buying clothes for my two kids!
I should win it because I have been exercising and eating healty. I would get me some new clothes in a smaller size.
First…thank you for the opportunity to participate in this drawing. If we were to win the Old Navy gift card I would buy my little Sofia (27 months) new summer clothes since she’s outgrown the ones from last year. I would also buy my little Mia Bella (due in 4 weeks) some cute summer outfits. I love the idea of dressing both girls the same (porque es nuestra costumbre) and I think they would look fabulous in pictures. Again, thank you for the opportunity to enter the drawing. Muah!
I would buy clothes for my husband who has lost 50 lbs over the last 6 months–his clothes are hanging on him–I love Old navy at Christmas time I use it to even out everyones presents so they all get the same number of gifts.
My niece and I would go shoooooppping! I’m not the aunt generally known for shopping sprees – but she and I would have a blast shopping for my daughter.
Thanks for the opportunity!
My daughter is in college and she could use some new clothes.
I’d like to win because maybe, given your story, it will give the family some incentive to buy some new clothes and travel to South America. I’d certainly buy some shorts.
I’d love to win so I could buy some clothes for my kids!
