I’ve been a Gap shopper for years. The Gap closed their stores in two malls nearby–I’m not sure why. For a number of years I just got out of the habit of going to The Gap. My sister is also a Gap shopper and she would often give a heads up about “must have” items. Sometimes I would get there, other times I just didn’t. I also think that for years their style didn’t match mine.
Upon a recommendation from a friend, I headed to The Gap last spring to look for jeans for my denim series. This fall it’s safe to say The Gap is Back! In addition to some great denim, I really liked the black pants: Premium Black Pant Collection.
During my recent visit to Dallas, my sister showed me her Gap finds. I loved what I saw. The Curvy Boot from last year is now called Perfect Boot and is not quite as “perfect” in my eyes, but still great. Love the new wider waistband. And now there is a style just called Curvy. This style is designed for those who have a significant difference in measurement between the waist and hips (waistband gaps).
We tried the Perfect Boot and were pleased. Curvy fit was not for us but I would try if this is your body type. Reviews were mixed on the website. They also have legging jeans (jeggings), skinny, sexy boot and long and lean styles.
We both LOVED the Real Straight which is a cut also available in the black pants called True Straight. Notice you can choose Ankle, Regular or Long lengths. Couple the ankle length with some great heels and you have a wonderful holiday look. Petite and Tall sizes available in some styles. There is so much more at The Gap. Check it out and let me know what you find.
Here is the BEST PART. The Gap offers coupons every Wednesday and Thursday in December for 40% off ONE SINGLE ITEM. Wow, ask for the coupon when you are at the counter.
This is the first installment in my series on stores. The stores won’t necessarily be featured in consecutive posts; instead it will be an occasional topic. Don’t forget to join my Facebook fan page. Please invite your friends to join. I’m working really hard to post info several times a week. Some are local features, others are for stores nationwide. Join now so you don’t miss it. Store are really putting out the deals now. Ann Taylor will be on tomorrow. Monday I posted an extended sale from White House Black Market for 20% off. Tomorrow and Friday it’s 30% (plus an additional 5% if you are a black book member) That is huge savings when normally you see that in January. Happy Shopping!
