Being an independent woman is tough work. Being an independent woman with a whole family to care for is even more exhausting, what with having to balance between work, the hubby, the kids and the required weekly shopping sprees. Old Navy is the American brand that lessens the burden of the working mum by having clothing essentials for the whole family in one spot. So you get to indulge in your weekly shopping therapy while also making sure the kids have all their summer essentials. Why not pick up a little surprise for the hubby too while you're at it? The good news is that this will all be possible soon as the affordable clothing brand is opening up in Egypt this week, in two locations, Mall of Arabia and City Stars. Entering Egypt's fashion scene with a bang, the grand opening at Mall of Arabia - which takes place from 6:30 pm until midnight - will include fun activities and special guest Eman El Assi. Buyers also get 30% off all their purchases from the 3^rd to the 7^th of July and the first 50 shoppers to make any purchase at the store, get a limited edition of Old Navy Egypt’s tote bag for free and it can be customised. Just pick the design and their on-site artist will handle the rest.

If you haven't gotten your required dose of fun and festivities then head down to the store’s City Stars opening on the 5^thfrom 6 pm to midnight which will also have awesome offers and special guest appearances.

Having opened their first store ever in the U.S in 1994, the brand focuses on wholesome family values. A staple of American fashion, the store has got us covered for the entire year with a selection of fun trends and a little something for everyone. They've already got franchise-operated stores in various parts of the world including the Philippines, the UAE, Indonesia and Qatar among other countries. Now it's Cairo's turn.

Old Navy is opening under Retail Group Egypt which has been operating since 2007 and has been upping Cairo’s fashion scene ever since by bringing in International brands. And now with Old Navy's stylish rompers, cool t-shirts and authentic jeans soon to hit the shelves, we'll be giving our wardrobe decisions a good hard look.
