Some LOFT reviews, answers and a winning dress

Okay, so dressing room pics didn't happen this weekend. When I got off work the dressing rooms were full and thruthfully, I was too worn out to wait. Weeknights are tricky since I don't get in to try on until closing but I'll keep trying.....until then, here are some new arrival pictures. And yes, I fell off the wagon a little but now I am back on.

Twisted Neck Exposed Back Zip, Modern Skinny Jeans and Neutral Stone Illusion Necklace

Did they just give up when naming this tank? Regardless I love this tank and I have yet to see it look badly on anyone. It fits TTS and isn't overly loose or boxy. All the colors are beautiful so you really can't go wrong. As far as the jeans go, LOFT has definitely made some improvements. I purchased these one size down because their jeans usually stretch out. These don't so they will be a good motivator for the lbs I need to lose. The necklace, it is a great staple. It has gold and silver in it making it really versatile.

Instore Only (so far) Layered Tee:

I have no idea if this is ever going to be online but these tees are great! The flash made the silk strips look darker but they aren't. I am wearing my true size (M) and I love the fit and length. It comes also comes in an ivory, lavender, aqua, and bright pink. It is very similar to J Crew's chiffon tiered tank so if you missed out on that one, you should check these tees out!

Accessory I LOVE! The Wide Braided Belt is such a beautiful cognac weathered belt. I just love the width and braiding. I especially love that it lies very flat and is not bulky. Our store only got in a small bit and they are selling out quick. I recommend grabbing one, especially with the free shipping promo online!

 

Crystal Bead V-Neck Tee: I was wrong. It also comes in this new petal pink color (very nude with a slight hint of pink). I tried it on and it does fit TTS

 

Riding Boots from the Fall ad: Yeppers, LOFT is experimenting with this new boot as a tester to see how they do. Our store won't be getting them but I am sure others will. As for the rest of the outfit with the boots, you'll see an IRL pic of most of it tomorrow :)

Lastly, my Sheep Meadow dress from Kim's giveaway arrived and I really love it. It will look much better with me made up (and with lipstick) but I had to try it on real quick!

No longer going to be in the dark.....

....dress code that is! You guessed it, I got the job at the Loft....whoop....whoop (picture me raising the ceiling. can't? yeah, me neither). I am really exited!! My favorite part of all this is that Loft is now pushing for their sales associates to be more like stylists, how great is that? I love putting outfits together for people and now I am going to get paid for it....icing on the cake!

I will be sad to say goodbye to Macy's, I LOVE all my co-workers and my manager is a great lady but I won't miss the dark dress code.

Here is my outfit from last night, I love black and cognac brown together, it reminds me of a Burberry bag. I am off to T-Ball and then straight to work. Hope you all are having a great weekend!

May the Force Be With You Today

Let's just rush through my outfit of the day before we get to the good stuff! I am wearing a tuxedo dress from Shabby Apple that I love. The detail of the ruffling, cut out U-neck, buttons and the tie make it a simple piece to throw on without accessorizing, which is perfect for me because I usually don't have a lot of time for details when I get ready in the morning!

Dress-Shabby Apple

Boots-Steve Madden

Now for the fun stuff. I have never been in an H&M, we just never had one here and once it opened a few weeks ago I just figured it was best to avoid going in. Yesterday I decided to check it out on my lunch break and I was doing fine, nothing too tempting until I saw they had a childrens department.....I did not know this. Once I saw this sweater, I knew it had to be mine, or er my kids.......they all now have one, with the exception of my 13 year-old, but Cooper will be my unwilling model. I love when star wars and/or super hero clothing is done in a unique way...........Luke, I am your father.....sorry, I couldn't resist!

Sunday

I just love how this dress from Shabby Apple feels like something a secretary in the 70's would be wearing. Bright purple has been one of my favorite new colors for 2009 so I just knew this dress needed to be mine.

p.s. I feel like the mirror behind me almost looks like a hat from Gone With The Wind
