Crude repairs

I had to do a rather Frankenstein-like repair job on my Old Navy sweater yesterday at work. Somehow I split the edge of my cuff's seam and was worried it'd get worse if I didn't fix it fast. At least I picked a similar thread color, and I didn't leave any loose ends hanging, right?

This is why I'm not a seamstress.

Impressively fast shipping from Old Navy

Remember this adorable cardigan that I blogged about on Tuesday? Well, I had ordered it on Monday night, and guess what? It arrived on Wednesday! I couldn't believe how fast it shipped. And the box it was in was soaking wet from the continuous rain today, but the sweater was safely sealed in a plastic bag. Very impressive! Plus they gave me TWO online coupons that say "You've been good to us — Now it's our turn..." with $15 off an order of $100 or more. Knowing that Old Navy is owned by the same company that owns Banana Republic and Piperlime (ahhh, Piperlime) makes me want to order from these online stores more often.Way to go, Old Navy!
