Old Navy Strikes Again!

I don't know what it is with Old Navy, but every Fall I seem to give them all of my money.  And most of the year I really am not much of an Old Navy shopper.  It's just something about Fall.

Last year I gave them all of my money for some presh little smock dresses + leggings + ballet flats.  I wore those dresses & leggings & ballet flats all Fall/Winter, adding scarves and boots as it got colder.  I do NOT regret that purchase one bit :)

This year I've just given Old Navy my money for some faux leather boots, some espadrilles & some house shoes.  I really didn't have a need for any of these shoes, but alas...they are en route.

Women's Faux Leather Riding Boots - $44.94

Women's Raffia Wedge Sandals - $12.97 (ON SALE)

Women's Cozy Chenille Slipper Socks - $5.00 (ON SALE)

I bought two pair of boots from Old Navy once upon a time.  I was really impressed.  Matter of fact, I still wear both pair.  They were really, really nice for faux leather boots.

I'm hoping these boots turn out to be just as nice.  I know that sometimes Old Navy can be hit or miss.  Have you ever had any unexpected good luck with a purchase from a lower budget store? 

Here's to hoping the brown boots are nice enough to pull off this Fall/Winter.  Because if not...well, let's just say my credit card has gotten enough mileage here lately......

***UPDATE - the boots arrived and they are EL-CHEAPO!  I'm taking them right back to the Old Navy store as soon as possible.  The espadrilles and the slipper socks are just lovely.  I guess 2 out of 3 isn't bad.  And so, the search continues.  Is it possible to purchase "low budget" riding boots, and have them look "high end"?  Hmmm....  ***
