LOFT Try-Ons + Sale Alert

OUTFIT DETAILS: Lou & Grey Heart Sweater, size XS regular | LOFT Unpicked Destructed Skinny Jeans in Staple Dark Indigo Wash, size 25/0P | Pablo Baldini Dog Leash Bucket Bag | Soludos Ibiza Classic Sneakers (review here, also available via Nordstrom & Soludos) | Gen7Pets Regal Plus Pet Stroller (more of Ralphie‘s items here)

This week kicked my butt at work. Our condo renovation is almost done so that we can finally move in but it means I need to pack like a madwoman. This three day weekend is definitely much needed. I have some new try-ons to share which I shot last weekend and I’m relieved to finally have a few hours to sit down and update my blog.

My leather bucket bag (also available in red) is made in Italy and it’s part of my recent T.J. Maxx haul. I love how comfortable and light weight it is. The strap is unique if you refer to the other photos in the online listing. I actually saw it in a light blue color online as featured here on @knitizen.co‘s feed but I don’t know where the model got her bag from. I also bought this classic black bag (also available in other colors here) and the chain strap and saffiano material/texture is substantial although I wish the bag would hold a bit more since the compartments don’t expand.

TRY-ONS

For size reference I’m 5′ 2.5″ and I’m usually size XS petite in tops and 0/25 petite in pants and jeans. If you’re new to my blog I typically share the link to a short video clip below each image. My Pinterest is also up to date if you prefer a more visual catalog of my reviews. Refer to my other reviews organized by retailer here.

This heart sweater is really adorable butI was slow to order it in my usual size XXS so I settled for size XS. It’s a boxy, oversized fit and the upper arms of the sleeves are very loose so I prefer to push up the sleeves. I accidentally dried it when I washed it the other day (the first time I’ve done this in quite some time) and I’m happy to report that the sweater didn’t shrink. However, I always try to wash my tops and pants on cold and letting them air dry for fear of having them shrink and fit differently.

I love bobble sweaters and I had to order this one to try as well. My usual size XSP fit me well and the length is slightly longer so it covers the front and backside nicely while the body has a relaxed fit. It’s a thin sweater and the red color would be perfect for Valentines Day. LOFT Outlet also has a mock neck version of a similar bobble heart sweater in both white and red which I reviewed here.

I liked this top in the lilac color (pictured below) so  I ordered the striped version to try. It’s a well made waffle textured top and the longer length is perfect with leggings.

I love a good casual top and I was happy to find that this grey top wasn’t extremely oversized so size XXS fit me well. I was debating between the other colors too.

LOFT Striped Ruffle Sleeve Tee, size XSP | Click here to view the clip from my try-on

This thin striped layering tee is so cute and it’s available in other prints too. My usual size XSP is a longer, looser fit so I wonder if I could have sized down but I already wore it out.

This tiered peplum is another tee I ordered to try but I didn’t love the way the top section draped across my chest. It’s not too sheer with a nude bra underneath and my usual size XSP is a loose baby doll fit.

LOFT Ruffled Henley Mixed Media Blouse, size XSP | Click here and here to view the clips from my try-on

I was excited to see this olive blouse since the ruffles are a nice feminine touch. If you love this style it’s also available in other prints. My usual size XSP fit me well but the petite sleeve length is a bit shorter on me since I have longer arms. Note that the back is 100% rayon but I haven’t worn or washed mine yet. I spoke to an associate I saw that was wearing the blouse in the floral print and she confirmed that steaming out the back after laundering helps to relax the fibers so that it returns to it’s usual length. I thought it was  funny choice of wording because I’ve shared the same tip before on my blog although I’m sure I’m hardly the first to share this care tip.

LOFT Mixed Media Sweater Dress, size XSP | Click here and here to view the clips from my try-on

I ordered this two-in-one black dress dress hoping that it would work out but my usual size XSP is shapeless on me from the waist down. I think it would look more flattering on someone with curves otherwise the looser fit on the bottom will swallow those with minimal curves. The skirt portion is fully lined and the buttons are functional but I’m not sure why you would want to undo the buttons especially since the buttons are not on the lined layer underneath. The sweater portion on top is 40% polyester, 35% rayon and 25% wool. The lower skirt portion is 100% rayon and the lining is 100% polyester.

I ordered a pair of the new chewed hem jeans to pick up in store last weekend and of course I found another pair to try on that I also liked.

The distressing on these chewed hem jeans are very similar to the pair I have from a past season but the chewed hem is different. The distressed chewed hem is on trend and I like the ankle length inseam in my usual size 25/0P. They do not have much stretch at the waist and hips so you may want to try on a size up for comfort. If you like this style they’re available in other washes as seen here on @loveloft_boston‘s feed.

If you are looking for classic jeans with no distressing these jeans have a good stretch to them making them feel more comfortable while sucking you in for a flattering fit. My usual size 25/0P fit me well although the inseam is about 1/2″ longer than I prefer so I like how it looks cuffed once too as seen here.

I have some Ann Taylor try-ons that I’ll share in another upcoming post.

Lastly, I wanted to share a shameless plug for my little sister’s Poshmark account @catscornershop. She mostly focuses on Anthropologie and she always has the cutest, unique finds in case you’re searching for something specific. I love her lighting setup for her photos. Note that her items ship from Philadelphia, PA.

Thanks for stopping by!
