CARDMEMBER PERKS
I shared the latest LOVELOFT cardmember offer from @pfaffannie for an extra % off in my Instagram stories. The upgraded 40% off code was tested and confirmed thanks to @sandymom2. Refer to the mobile version of the coupon here or use code LOVELOFT40 at checkout. Save this offer to your mobile wallet by texting FESTIVE40 to 28162. Valid in stores and online through 10/30/17-11/29/17. Excludes Lou & Grey.
Update 10/31: I was able to use the latest cardmember offer in stores on top of current the promotion (e.g. $25 off full-price jeans and pants) and it also combined with the LOFT Cares card promotion. The best way to redeem this in store is to save the mobile version of the coupon so that the sales associate can easily scan the barcode.
This weekend I asked my Instagram followers to help me out with an old favorite striped top (featured in this old post) that I had snagged. There is still one size XS regular up for sale in excellent condition. I purchased size XXSP from a longtime follower via Poshmark and I hope it fits. If you’re interested in this top please send a direct message on Instagram to @sharonleecho.
Update 11/3: One size XSP is also up for sale on Poshmark! Thanks to Loan for the heads up!

I loved this lace top as seen on Danielle in green a and Jen in ivory. I tried on size XSP which was too wide/boxy and I found that size XXSP fits like size XSP. Similar to the blueberry bell sleeve top from the spring I found that this top’s button loop closure is difficult to fasten by yourself.

I had high hopes for this split tie sleeve top but it runs large. Size XXSP still fits like a loose fitting size XSP. I would suggest sizing down for a better fit.

I love anything taupe and Su had pointed out this cold shoulder sweater when she shared her picks from the new arrivals. The little ruffle across the chest is adorable. The regular missy size is long/tunic length on me but I’m only 5′ 2.5″. I would need this sweater in petites for a shorter overall length. I’d say this sweater fits true to size.

I did not like how this crushed velvet top looked like on the hanger but I tried it on for sizing and I was surprised that it looks a lot cuter on. This top has a generous and longer fit in the regular missy size so I would suggest going down a size for a better fit. One of my followers asked me to try on the dress which is a really cute holiday party option.

This blogger favorite cardigan fits true to size but the sleeves are a bit snug. You may want to size up for more comfortable layering. Update 11/24: I washed this cardigan on cold and air dried it but the sleeves now fit more snug. I tried to steam out the sleeves but I am bummed the sleeves are no longer loose fitting for more easy layering.

I came across this fuzzy cardigan in petites and I tried it on for sizing since I previously tried on size XS regular here. Size XXSP fit me well and I usually take size XSP. I really love how this cardigan feels but I’m on the fence about the fuzzy muppet fur material.

I came across this sheath dress in the sales rack and I tried it on out of curiosity. The fit of size 0 regular fits like size 0P but the hemline is more modest since I’m only 5′ 2.5″. I liked the looser fit so that I can layer a blouse underneath without showing any bumps. I like this dress belted as shown here.

I really love this button trim details of top but it took me a while to find one in stores to try on in the petite sizes. This top is currently sold out online but due to the generous sizing you can keep an eye out for returns online and in stores. Size XXSP fits like size XSP and it has a very loose and swingy fit in the stomach area. I tried on XS regular too and it looked ridiculous since it was generous all over. Definitely size down for a better fit if you’re interested in this top.

I saw that Su tried on this sweater here and I was curious about it too since the bold colors are perfect for fall. Size XXSP fits like size XSP. The material fit a bit scratchy sine it contains both wool and mohair but it’s tolerable if you don’t have sensitive skin. I didn’t like that the pink colorblock across the chest was see through where you can see the outline of my bra so base layer is recommended.

I was interested in this tunic sweater since the colors reminds me of my favorite sweater (review here) from last year. Unfortunately the fit is different as this year’s version is noticeably longer. Courtney normally wears regular sizes but even she had to take it in size XSP (note that she is 5’4″).

I saw this new bell sleeve coat on Shannon and I had to try this on for size. I love the statement sleeve since it’s not an overly pronounced bell sleeve. Size XXSP fit like a close size XSP. If you plan to layer underneath you may want to stick to your usual size at LOFT. The high collar is great for blocking the wind so that you can forgo a scarf on days you wear this coat. As Shannon noted it’s a good weight for fall/early winter here in New England.
LOFT Garden Party Blouse, size XSP

When I went to my local LOFT the other day these pants were not on sale and of course they were the one thing I really wanted to purchase. I’ve been trying to shop in stores more to take advantage of my LOFT Cares card for an extra 25% off. Size 24/00P fit me well while I am usually size 25/0P in LOFT bottoms. I would suggest sizing down in these pants for the best fit. There’s a good stretch to them that makes them very comfortable and the olive color is perfect for fall pairings.

I love the little polka dots on this unique top and I think it looks best tucked into something. I noticed that size XXSP (below) and size XSP (above) fit very similar. Size XSP doesn’t tuck into pants cleanly as you can see from the tie waist pants. There was a lot of excess material on the sides. See this blouse styled by Helen for a very on trend, seasonal look with jeans. I would probably order this top in size XXSP but both sizes fit very similar and I can’t tell the difference based on my photos. FYI. I take pictures of the tags as a reminder to myself about size I tried onso there is definitely no mix up about the sizing for this blouse.

Su asked me to try on this jacket since she was interested in this color for fall. Unlike the blue version (review here) this one has a more generous fit through the body and I’d say that it runs one size bigger. I would suggest sizing down for a better fit.

This simple black mock neck dress was on my wishlist and the sizing runs one size bigger. Size XXSP fits like size XSP or XXS regular. The overall length is very long and has a modest hemline. See this dress styled by Liz here and here.

I have and love the solid olive version of this blouse in size XXSP since I found that the shoulders were too wide for my 14″ shoulders and the sleeves fit longer when I had originally ordered it in size XXS regular. I tried on size XSP regular in this marigold version and it fits me well. The marigold color and print is gorgeous for fall and year round depending on how you style it. One of my lovely followers mentioned that she wore it recently for Diwali.

I love the dark wash of these performance legging jeans (review here) so I also tried on this light wash for sizing as well. Size 27/4P fit me the same as the dark wash but the smaller size 26/2P (pictured below) had a noticeably longer inseam which was confusing. I double checked the tags to be sure but I do not know why this is the case for this particular wash.

Su recommended this slight bell sleeve sweater and I tried on size XS regular and S regular for comparison. It’s a comfortable lightweight sweater but the sleeves are much longer in the next size up otherwise this sweater fits true to size for a relaxed fit.

I mentioned this crystal leaf statement necklace in my previous post and here it is on me so that you can see the length. Also, I am wearing size 2P above in the ponte skinny pants for those that are interested in comfortable black pants that feel like leggings. I wore them for a full day and am happy to report that they keep their shape.

I’ve been eyeing these jogger pants and ordered them when they were 50% off and free shipping. Size XXS regular is a really loose and baggy fit on me through the thighs. One of my similar sized followers (we take the same size in bottoms) mentioned that she tried size XSP but it was roomy enough that she could have fit XXSP.
If you’re into the jogger trend I love and would recommend investing in the Dexter style from Aritzia which I’ve been able to machine wash and air dry. I took size 0 but could also fit into size 00.

I’ve been wanting a utility vest for the longest time and I ordered this one when size XXSP popped back in stock despite reading the online reviews that it ran big. Size XXSP fits like a generous size XS regular so I’m may return it. I’m currently holding onto it to see if I could style it with my scarves to hide to looser fit in the chest.
Minnetonka slippers (my exact slippers are recent from TJ Maxx)
A few days ago I mentioned that I got the Julia Furla crossbody I featured in my Instagram stories. I purchased the Sabbia color which is light grey. If you sign up for emails you will receive a $20 off $150 coupon that you can use towards the bag. I love that it has three credit card slots inside. It’s a small bag but it does fit my iPhone 8+ (I use the Apple silicone case) and other smaller essentials such as my card holder, keys, tissues and baby Baggu. The gold chain has a good weight to it so that it won’t slip off your shoulders.
