Wardrobe Wednesday | Dressing Room Edition
Last week, I got a chance to meet my girlfriend Veronika for lunch while my mom stayed home with Jordan. Â My days with help from Grandma are numbered so it was wonderful to get to have that time for a friend get-together. Afterward, I took advantage of an hour and actually shopped for clothes inside.a.store! Â I can’t remember the last time I did that! Â I’ve gotten so comfortable shopping online, especially from Nordstrom because I know my sizes there and returns are so easy. Â Right now Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale is going on, and prices are up to 40% on so many good things!
I used to shop Loft frequently, especially for work clothes, but after having my second baby, and since I still have weight to lose, I wasn’t sure what my size would be now, so I wanted to go in before ordering anything online. Â Loft has great styles that also come in petite, perfect for us shorties!
I found so many cute things for summer!  Especially the shorts! So many styles 50% off now! I’m always wearing my cutoff jean shorts, but they are so super casual and there are times I want to look more put together.  A patterned cotton short does the trick.  They are great for wearing on the weekend running around or for lunches and playdates.  Loft has a ton of styles, patterns and colors to choose from.  Being so short (5’0), I prefer shorts with 2-4″ inseam.  If you’re taller, or don’t like to show as much leg, they have 5-6″ inseam shorts too.
Top to bottom:  (1) flamingo riviera shorts (2) stripe riviera shorts (3) geo riviera shorts
(4) tile riviera shorts (5) coral striped shorts

I love this tank (50% off)Â so much I got it in 4 colors. Â I’m wearing a size Small in these pics because that’s what I picked up for the dressing room and I didn’t want to waste time going back out for the XS, but XS is what I ended up buying. Â I realized when I was pregnant that looser clothes can tend to just make you look bigger. Â Something that skims your body can actually make you look smaller.
I think sizes must run large at Loft because I was size 00 in all the shorts. #vanitysizing I’m 5’0 and 113 pounds currently for size reference.
How cute is this pop of  red with the shorts?!
refined tee (5 colors) 50% off  | geo riviera shorts | wedge sandals
This vintage soft v-neck tee looks awesome too.

And the flowy tanks are so easy to wear, adore the lace detail at the top.
soft off the shoulder top (3 colors)Â 50% offÂ
I like how you can wear this top off or on the shoulder.
I wasn’t crazy about these shorts on me, but if you had a black top and were a little taller, I bet they’d be awesome.
After the shorts, I fell in love with these crop chinos! They are lightweight, comfy and cute and a great alternative to jeans for summer.
How fun are the striped pair?!
white romper 50% off  (also in berry) | (similar black romper)
I’m still dreaming of this romper! Â I didn’t get it because I have this one (40% off), but mine is 3/4 sleeve and I love the sleeveless look of this one.I tried on a couple dresses and skirts too, but they didn’t look that great on me. Â I would probably have needed to try on petite

I’m crazy for this summer sweater though!

It was good to get out for some girlfriend and shopping time! Â We all need that once in awhile, right?! And I am having too much fun on snapchat (I’m @honeywerehome), come see us live there. Â It’s so weird to listen to yourself, but also cool to get to interact more via video!
I love all the shorts! I can't actually remember the last time I shopped in store :)–so glad you got a little time away!
Nice to get to shop in a store for a change! I was still in a rush, but I'll take what I can get!
Oh my goodness – I love EVERYTHING you tried on!! It's really tempting to buy those shorts with the racerback top. You're right – sometimes the cotton shorts does make the outfit look more put together. I wanted to ask you something a little personal and I hope it doesn't come off as offensive. Obviously you're in a much more financially stable position than a student (like me). How do you manage your shopping budget? I love almost all of your suggestions but find them to be way out of my price range.
I can so relate to that student way of life. When I was in college I racked up 3 grand in credit card debt and it took forever to pay it off since I didn't make that much money working and going to school. Listening to Dave Ramsey helped me so much and I still listen to him today! In college, I would just borrow my roommates clothes and she borrowed mine since we didn't have money to shop much. Now, I'm still a lover of a bargain and sale (hence the weekend steals & deals posts)! And I love to mix and match and often wear the same thing on repeat.
I just got the navy stripe maxi dress last weekend and LOVE it!
I should have tried on the petite size!
I haven't been in Loft in awhile. Love the peplum top with the floral shorts, and the red top with the other shorts.
I love a peplum, make the waist look so small!
Love your snapchats! Keep 'em coming.
It's addicting! And really fun- I had no idea! Thanks for letting me know you like it!!
That white rompers looks so good on you!
thanks!
