Double take: Old Navy

Every girl loves her deals and steals… as a plus size fashionista, if you can score a fashionable find at a great price, I am all over it, but what happens when your great low-price retailer introduces in a great find at an unexpectedly higher price point?
This is where Old Navy comes in. Over on Twitter, my Curvy fashion blogger girlfriend, @afrobella scooped me on this new Plus Size Gray Wool Cape over at Old Navy. Fabulous right? Well, at a 129.00 price point, I was a little confused, as most Old Navy pieces break the $100 price point!
Given that they do not carry any of their plus size collection in their stores, I would love to hear from you- do you have this coat? Does the price match the quality at Old Navy? Would you spend $130 at Old Navy? How much would you spend on a coat?
Sound off! The Coat is CUTE!!!!

how much i would spend totally depends on the coat. the fabric, the style, all of that.
now re O/N and this coat, I would not pay this price simply because i do not think its worth it.
and its not that i dont love O/N. There jeans are one of my favs and i have a lot of their dresses and tops.
i am just generally not a fan of wool-blends.

What type of jackets do you fancy, if not wool?
The coat is bangin but no way in heck would I pay that for a coat at Old Navy. Sorry, just wouldn’t do it.
And it’s not 100% wool, it’s wool blend, probably polyester. So it won’t wear or wash well. No thanks.
I wouldn’t pay more than $75 for a coat at Old Navy.
Old Navy has always had expensive coats. Even in normal sizes.
Old Navy has fallen and bump their heads. $129.00 for a FAKE wool coat??!!
Are they serious? I hope it is a joke, but I know they are trying to be
serious. LOL
No joking matter… I wonder if they thought to sneak it in… I do wish and hope the best for them!
But does anyone ever pay full price at Old Navy? There’s always a discount of coupon.
While they no longer stock the plus size line in stores, they often have 18 and 20 larger straight sizes, which also seem to be a bit bigger lately and fit my 1x-2X size. Having said that, many of their tops fit very oddly for me, so not too much works, but I’ve gotten a few pieces – mostly Ts and a cute velvet jacket two years back. The quality on the latter is good, but the Ts barely make it through a season before becoming PJs.
the coat is now $99 and they still have all of the sizes. does that make a difference?
on second thought, i just finished reading the reviews and just about everyone was disappointed, not in the material (wool vs wool-blend) but in the fact that it is not as pictured. sometimes online shopping sucks. oh well…

FYI, you’re misusing the term “price point.” What you really mean is “price.”

Hey Kay! What happened? Old Navy or SWAK?
