I just wanted to share a few of my recent buys since I haven’t been blogging for a while due to work and other reasons.
 |
| LOFT Tailor Stripe Sheer Blouse, size XSP (see size XXSP on Annie here) Banana Republic Stardust Fan necklace Banana Republic Sloan Fit ankle pants, size 0P Ann Taylor gallery tote (previous review here) J.Crew cap toe pumps, size 7 |
First up is my newest favorite striped top from LOFT. I originally ordered the Tailor stripe sheer blouse in size XXS but the sleeves were too long so I ordered size XSP which worked out much better overall. Size XSP measures:
17.25″ bust
20″ along the bottom hem
18″ sleeve length
4.25″ banded button sleeves
23.5″ total length
 |
| LOFT Scalloped Sleeveless Lace Dress, both size 0P |
This scalloped lace dress caught my eye online and I couldn’t decide on the color so I ordered both to try and ended up keeping the black one. I like that the neckline isn’t too low and I’m just looking for the perfect cropped cardigan or jacket to pair it with. Size 0P measures:
13.5″ waist
15″ bust
32″ total length

| LOFT Lurex Open Stitch Infinity Scarf LOFT Striped Popcorn Stitch Sweater, size MP |
I really love this infinity scarf since I’ve been looking for one that isn’t too bulky. This one fit the bill in both warmth and softness and I’d highly recommend it.
 |
| LOFT Tulle Skirt, size 00 |
This tulle tutu skirt didn’t work out for me but the measurements of size 00 regular are:
13″ waist
18.5″ length
 |
| Ann Taylor Twilight Leaf Print Scarf |
I also loved this leaf print scarf from Ann Taylor so much since it drapes really well and is a thicker weight perfect for the winter. My mom actually took mine so I was very relieved to find this in stores on Black Friday for 50% off since I hate ordering fillers online. I even gifted it to my good friend along with the draped turtleneck top below for her birthday.
| Ann Taylor Draped Turtleneck, size MP |
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much I reached for this turtleneck top so far. I really adore the feminine drape of the neck since I find normal turtlenecks to be very suffocating and static hair inducing in this cold, dry winter weather.

| Banana Republic Stardust Fan necklace |
Another favorite find of mine is this sparkly necklace from Banana Republic. I met up with Thu of Justtututiny for some shopping a few weeks ago and spotted it in store. She convinced me to try it on and I’m so glad that she did. It comes with an extender so you can easily wear it with multiple necklines.

| Banana Republic Vitah Zip Boot, size 7.5 |
I purchased this boot a month ago and I was really impressed with the quality. It’s also a great fit for those with narrow calves. My calves measure 13.5″ at the widest part mid calf with jeans on. I still haven’t worn them out though because I’m not sure that high heel boots are safe to wear in the New England winters even though our grounds are currently free of snow. The foot bed runs narrow so I went up half a size for comfort.
Thanks for the post Jess! Welcome back! I like all your picks/purchases especially the tailor stripe blouse. Thanks again for recommending – it looks fantastic on you!I also love the drape neck sweater but it's sold out in my size 🙁
