Tie Front Top XSP | Boyfriend Jeans 0P | Sandals | Link Bracelet | Coil Ring
I was dubious about this one when I saw it one the hanger, but when I put it on I really loved it! It’s hard to tell from the picture but it’s got a lot of stretch in it so it’s easy to move around in. Although it has a tie front, it still covers your tummy and is a little longer in the back. I think the tie is darling and doesn’t look childish, rather charming. This top will also look great with white jeans or jean shorts.
Loft continues to confuse me with their sizing, I’m usually on the lowest of the low, but some tops I can go with a regular XS. This cold shoulder top is soft and I like how the shoulder part had a bit of elastic and flutter to it. The shorts are adorable and a great color combo, without pockets so there is no bunching.
That cold shoulder top looked super cute with the jeans I wore into the store too. Definitely a keeper!
Blue Off The Shoulder Top XS
I’m still into the off-shoulder and cold shoulder trend and pairing stripes and pom poms is a cute touch! This top is short, just hitting my waist, so if you prefer your tops longer, skip this one.
Embroidered Babydoll Top XSP
Here’s a top I wore the same day I got it! I was dying for it in the blue/white combo, but it was sold out, then just came back again so I scooped it up too! I love the boho look and it’s nice and stretchy with sleeves to the elbow.
Off The Shoulder Tie Sleeve Top XSP
I thought this top might be a good option for those of you that want to try the cold shoulder look, but still have the support of a shoulder strap. Unfortunately, the shoulder strap on this top is too long on me and still wouldn’t hide my bra strap, so you’d still need to wear a strapless bra (I recommend this one). If I decide to keep this top, I’ll just cut the straps off because I like the 3/4 sleeve length and the sweet tie at the sleeve.
White Scallop Tank XSP
Striped Top XSP, need XS
I’m a hug fan of a 3/4 sleeve boatneck top. I waited forever for this to arrive, only to realize I need a regular XS! This one is just a little too small. 🙁
Paisley Top XSP, need XS
I loved the print on this top and the silky feel, but had to order regular XS because the XSP was too small. You could wear this to work and then happy hour and fit right in.
Zip Skinny Pants 00 | Tank XS
I loved this soft, easy-to-wear tank so much I got it in black too. I wish I had a better pictures of these skinny cargo pants. They feel great on with a good bit of stretch and are a great alternative to jeans. They remind me of this pair of skinny cargo pants that I’m crazy about (0P), but these I’m wearing here have a zippered ankle and come in other colors.
Fiesta Off The Shoulder Top XS
I wasn’t sure how an ‘elastic across the chest’ top would look on me, because I thought it would be too busty, but I’m glad I tried this one because it is seriously darling! It’s comfortable and the embroidered sleeve detail is ready to party. I’m also glad it’s not too short, but just the right length!
Halter Peplum Top XS | Boyfriend Jeans 0P | Similar Sandals | Necklace | Link Bracelet | Coil Ring
I’m always on the hunt for cute casual wear, especially tank tops because it’s so brutally hot in Houston in the summer! I love the style of this tank and how it can be dressed up or down. I’m wearing an XS and it’s a little loose in the middle (even though it’s supposed to be relaxed fitting) so I wish it came in petite. *Update: I machine washed and dried it and it shrank a little, but actually fits me a little better now.
Black Swing Top XXSP (but need XS) | Necklace | Watch | Gold Bangle | Ring
This tank drew me in with the great v-neck and wide shoulder straps with cute pom pom details. Unfortunately, I needed a bigger size because the chest was squishing me, otherwise this is a very flattering top.
I immediately loved this striped off the shoulder top as as soon as I put it on! The three-quarter length sleeves are darling and it’s a relaxed fit that looks super cute with skinny jeans.
These jeans are a great dark wash with a lot of stretch. I’m wearing size 24 and they’re tight but I think they will loosen up with wear, but I’d say they run TTS and my normal size 25 would probably fit and be more comfortable. The length is 29 inches so I cuffed the bottom to fit my 5’1 frame. They’re under $70!
USA Graphic Tee XS
I already have 4th of July on my mind and this USA tee is a fun nod to our great country. The XS was a tad tight across the chest, but not uncomfortable.
Cape Blazer XS
What do y’all think of this cape blazer? It kept catching my eye online and got so many positive reviews that I decided to give it a try for myself. I have to say it does look chic and the white is very polished. The cape arm part is surprisingly easy to wear, and it fit well. I think it would look better with slacks because I think with my short legs and skinny jeans, the proportions are off.
Oh my gosh, this halter dress is amazing! It’s the perfect out-to-lunch or day party dress. The halter style shows off your shoulders and it has the cutest tie in the back. The floral print against the pale blue is understated enough to make this junior dress feel classy. And it’s under $50!

Chiffon Maxi Dress 0P | Nude Strappy Heels | Watch | Coil Ring
This dress is a stunner! The color is vibrant and beautiful and the cut of this dress is super classy. I couldn’t help but feel like I want to swoosh around it it, so I think it would be perfect for a wedding or party with lots of dancing! It’s fully lined and slightly longer in the back.
Crochet Overlay Dress 2P | Nude Strappy Heels | Watch | Coil Ring
I love this dress for a bridal or baby shower or another afternoon event. I don’t know if the color is coming through, but it’s the most gorgeous pale blue. Inside it’s lined with a nude bandeau slip. I think the 0P would fit me better in the waist and hips but I needed a 2P for the chest. If I decide to keep thi,s I will get it taken in at the waist. It’s very beautiful and feminine in person and I felt like a real lady in it!
Chiffon Dress 2P
For a party or fancy dinner out, this dress is a perfect choice. My hair is kind of covering the shoulder strap, but it’s there and the ruffle didn’t add too much volume to my chest. If they had 0P, I would have bought it.
White Denim Shorts (need 24)
I’ve recommended these shorts before, but I had the opportunity to try them on and can say they run big. I tried on the 25 and they were too big, but a great weight and feel and nice length. Not to mention they are only $39!
I found two great, running-around in lace-up sandals below and already wore the red pair the first day I got them! Sam Edelman shoes never disappoint and they last forever! They also fit TTS.
Sam Edelman Gemma Lace-Up Sandal
I like the comfort and quality of this sandal, but I think the black looks kind of severe so I’m going to exchange this pair for the gold or caramel. Both of those colors look stunning!
Sam Edelman Gianni Sandal | Jean Shorts
I hope I’ve given you lots of wardrobe inspiration this week! I know it’s a lot, but I like to give you options and serious information about fit and quality! There’s nothing more frustrating about reading a fashion review that only says, “I love it, fits great!” without knowing about the size of the person reviewing and what size she ordered. 😉
Have a great weekend, friends!
Join me on Instagram and Facebook, where I post everyday outfits and inspiration to wake up your wardrobe, including lots of steals and deals!
I love everything, seriously is hard to decide what is the best infact I have a lot of favorites like: cape blazer, maxi chiffon dress, Fit&flare dress, the front tie top, white tank, blue off the shoulder topstriped top and scalled top..but to be honest I love every single item:D
Thanks Jules!! I’m so glad you loved everything!
You are stunning in everything pretty lady! I’m not sure if you keep it all but if you don’t I can only imagine how hard it would be to decide what to keep and what to return (barring anything that doesn’t fit) because everything looks so good. There’s not a bad pick in the bunch!

Thanks so much Kellyann! 🙂 It’s difficult, but I somehow always manage to narrow it down. There’s so much cute summer stuff out right now!!
Lots of super cute ideas. And agree, Loft’s sizing can be frustrating at times. It’s not always consistent even within the same style. I ordered the same style shorts in a couple colors because they didn’t have them in the store. One fit exactly the same as a pair I had and the other was like two sizes smaller. Always try things on there, that’s for sure.
Thank you! 🙂 It’s so strange. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who notices it!
Love these posts! It’s great to see some of the items I’ve been eyeing online & get your opinion on fit, quality, & sizing. These are all great summer picks. The eyelet tank, scallop tank, paisley top, & fit/flare dress are all on my wishlist.

Thanks Amy! I know how tough online shopping can be, so I always try to be as detailed as I possibly can!
Love the maxi dress, can I ask what bra you wear with it? I don’t think I should be going braless at this stage in my life. 🙂
Hi Barbara! I’m with you! 😉 I swear by this strapless bra: http://rstyle.me/n/bp4gxspz4e It’s comfortable, stays put with little sticky lining and keeps the girls up! It runs True To Size.
Loving all of the blue and white! I’ve been looking for a new white tank so I’m really leaning towards ordering that scalloped one! Great finds!

Thanks Alexis! I That scalloped top is great, super comfortable!
Well as I said before, I am not a dress girl but you sure give me a lot inspiration to give them a try. They all look great on you!
You’re too sweet, thank you! 🙂 You should definitely give them a try!
Can you post the link to the black gingham top you were wearing when you tried on the white shorts? Thanks!
What phone case is that? Is it gold or tan? Thx.
