EDITOR'S NOTE

Ale here, otherwise known as your trusted Skimm Tested editor. Normally, I’d share my favorite products from our testing table. But Old Navy decided to have a really good sale, and transparently, I can’t stop talking about it. Here are four items I got that practically revolutionized my mostly all-black wardrobe, just in time for summer:

• A flattering, stretchy dress I’ll wear for a date night or out and about on vacation.

• A boatneck top that fits just right and won’t show your bra.

• A drop-waist tank dress you can wear with heels or sneakers.

• A cropped sweatshirt in their insanely soft Bounce Fleece material.

When I’m not adding to my shopping cart, you can find me hosting taste-tests on camera with my coworkers and running around on @skimmshopping.

A straw or woven bag immediately makes your summer outfits more Nancy Meyers protagonist-adjacent. We found a couple options under $110 that’ll hold most of your picnic-ready essentials:

• This one from Anthropologie with gold detailing. (The shape reminds us of Coach.)

• A classic option from Gap with contrast leather straps. We love that it comes in so many colorways.

• This hobo bag from Quince you can wear on your shoulder or as a crossbody.

Margo’s Picks

Our Editor is sharing three products she’s loving this week:

• LePens: I’ve been writing a lot of thank you notes lately (hello, bridal era), and these pens are the most satisfying to write with.

• Paume Hand Renewing Serum: My latest obsession. I now use this religiously before bed. The scent is relaxing and it’s made my hands so soft.

• Abercrombie & Fitch High-Rise Dad Shorts: These shorts are a staple for me as the weather starts to warm up. I just grabbed a couple more pairs. They aren’t too fitted or baggy.
