More reviews that have been sitting around forever. I had a little love affair with the loft at the end of the summer but I cut if off prematurely :). I sort of feel like I only have the time and energy to shop at a few stores. If I add any more to the list then the whole sale game becomes a full time job. Plus figuring out my sizing, if things stretch out a lot, durability, blah blah blah.
I DO love Lou & Grey. The materials they use are so soft and comfortable. Yummers. I am dying to try their version of the
sweaterdress. Looks like something I could live in. Or this
Silkwash Shirtdress? Looks so classic and yet laid-back at the same time. I bet
their leggings are supersoft and of course
their signaturesoft sweater looks way cozy.
Zip-pocket joggers have been on my list of things to try and finally,
a perfect tee. Now that I've drooled sufficiently over cute casual wear... on to the reviews!
Petite Lace Tee in Whisper White (PXS)
I've been really wanting a lace tee. Great way to dress up a pair of jeans and add a little sex appeal. Overall I liked this tee but didn't love that seam across the top (see pic below). That's hard for a busty gal to pull off. Overall the lace was nice and I really like the hem across the bottom.
Close up of seam and lace. Clearly I would wear a cami. I think if you are smaller busted this will drape better. I've been eyeing
this tee at Anthropologie because I like that the whole tee is not lace. Makes it easier to wear.
This one from Ann Taylor has a lot of detail and would be more work-appropriate but
this one is sexier and comes in navy (my favorite) and is 50% off!
Lou & Grey Blouson Tee Dress (XS)
This dress is so soft - I can't even describe it. I have problems with blouson dresses - I'm never sure how much to "blouson" the top and so it ends up looking a bit awkward. Plus the skirt was a little short for running around town taking care of errands. But so seriously comfortable. And basically flatttering.
Lou & Grey Blouson Tank Dress (S)
I think this is sold out now but this
Lou & Grey dress is very similar and comes in a cute brick red color. I need an XS for sure. Again - the blouson. It just never lays quite right on me. Love the fabric. Stretchy and feels good.
Lou & Grey Mixup Cardigan (XS)
Eek. A yeti! I love the whole waterfall cardigan idea but in this thick knit it becomes a bit overwhelming on my frame. It is soft and cozy though. Maybe a petite? Maybe just on someone taller. Love the idea.
This Lucky Brand sweater has a similar vibe but I like the richness of the colors more.
Lou & Grey Cloudy Cardigan (XS)
This one was a bit thinner in fabric and so it laid better on my body. Still a bit overwhelming but I wouldn't mind wrapping up in it on a cold winter's day. Loft also carries
this Drapey Cardigan which has the same effect but looks way more flattering. Plus it comes in a beautiful burgundy which seems to be the color of the season. This
Free People Waterfall Cardigan comes in a lovely light blue and looks light and breezy. And if you want to go luxe,
this cashmere cocoon cardigan from Anthropologie looks divine.
Have you shopped Loft lately?
I just bought that lace tee! It's gorgeous in the blush-mauve color, which I didn't expect because I was looking for a white lace top and I'm not huge on pink. I'm very small-busted and 5'2" with a long torso; I preferred the size XS regular to the XSP, for added body length, and I might have tried to size down to XXS regular if it'd been available. Without a larger bust to fill out the top, the shape is very clearly A-line.
ReplyDeleteI think the t shirt dress looks fantastic on you. IMO, that would be a "must have". Thanks for the reviews!!
