New Loft Haul

Hi friend!  I can’t believe it’s back to school!  Today is our first day!

I’m typing this up on the night before and everything is ready to go by the skin of my teeth!  I had forgotten there’s so many forms to fill out and they came from every direction!

I’m reminding myself not to put too much pressure on the first day- things take time to iron out and the daily groove will be there waiting for us soon enough. We got this or WILL get this!

LOFT HAUL

My Size Reference: I’m short (5’1) and petite, weighing about 110 lbs.  I typically wear size 0p/25 jeans, XSP/XS in tops and dresses.

Jewelry Worn:  Watch Band, Butterfly Necklace,  Bracelets, Ring

Plaid Top Short Sleeve, Jeans, Booties

I’m so crazy for this ‘transition to Fall’ outfit! The top gives you that bit of plaid we like to see come September and the deep red color is so pretty.  I like the crinkle texture and open neck with the strings.  You can take this top to the office just as easily as you can wear it on the weekend.

These jeans are so good!  They’re a comfortable high rise with a medium wash that will go with everything.  Because there’s no rips or distressing, they give you a longer leg line and I definitely appreciate that!

Casual goodness right here friend!  This long sleeve pullover is a burnout style with a boatneck and stitch detail at the shoulder.  I also like the shirttail hem that makes your legs look longer.  I left it untucked so you could see that part- but you can also do a front tuck with it.

Jacket

A military jacket is such a work horse in my wardrobe.  Because it doesn’t get super cold here, often a lightweight jacket is all we need to keep the chill off.  The style on this one is perfect with the shorter drawstring waist, zip and snap front, plus double front pockets.

I found the perfect tunic top for your leggings!  I didn’t do a good job showing it, but the back is long and easily covers your bum.  The front is short enough to tuck and it’s silky soft and smooth. It looks polished with the 3/4 button front, but there’s no collar so it’s still a relaxed look.

Aww, how great is this short sleeve sweater?!  And the pop of color is fun!  All of the detailed stitching gives it added interest and the shoulders are nearly elbow length.  This is definitely one that will go the distance, being versatile with lots of different bottoms.

As soon as I put these jeans on, I remembered why I liked them so much! They’re a recent find and the straight leg style is incredibly comfortable. They have a high waist and pretty light wash.  I’m 5’1 and they’re hitting me right at the ankle.

The top is a striking pebble print in a silky soft fabric that lends itself to a dressier look.  It’s got a keyhole tie in the front and ruffle sleeve.  You can wear this top to the office with a pair of pants or a skirt.

This top is the same style in that lively tropical print.  Since it’s got a dark background, I paired it with black jeans.  These are a wonderful 9-inch high rise style that are so flattering and feel amazing on.  I sized down in them one, to a 24 and cuffed the hem.

Keeper! If you’re ready for sweater weather #raiseshand, this is a good one.  It has stripes in a soft neutral and a triple button front. In the Fall, pair it with white jeans and a tan bootie.

I adore this shirtdress!  The mix of vertical and horizontal stripes is so well done and it comes with the coordinating stripe belt.  It’s a flattering fit for every body type being A-line with a button front.

It’s like they took a comfortable, stretchy knit and turned it into a flirty shirt dress with this one! I like the smocked sleeve and waist, along with the charcoal color.

Ooh, this dress is so good too!  It’s the same print as the top I shared above, but in a dress.  The shoulders have a flirty ruffle and it’s fully lined with an olive colored lining.

I really like the pleated sweetheart neckline on this dress and the skirt has a sassy side slit.  I wasn’t crazy about the midi length on me though.  Maybe if I had paired it with a nude heel, it would look better.

I’ve never tried Loft’s activewear before and I’m impressed.  These sporty leggings and silky soft and smooth against your skin with a high rise. They have a color block side panel that gives them a cool vibe and coordinates with the soft pullover.

If your kids are back to school this week too, I’m sending you all the good energy for a smooth transition.

My kids are going into 1st and 7th grade and they both seem suddenly like such big kids!  I’m usually so sappy and cry on the first day of school, but I think I’m gonna be okay this year!  Giving you big hugs friend!

Have a fantastic day!
