I haven’t done a fitting room post for a long time because I never have time when I am shopping. It’s always so busy and I’m always in a rush. But yesterday, I had a few minutes and thought I’d pop into Loft and try a few things on for you! I’ll start with some newer items and then work my way on to the sale items.
This comes in 3 colors: tidle blue, black and this light gray. The fit is nice and I can see it tucked in a pencil skirt. I really like the pleated detail by the collar.
I love the pretty and bright color but it clearly is huge. The concept and idea of this dress is cute and would look nice belted but didn’t fit that great.
Sorry for the terrible iPhone pics but this top is actually super pretty and great for Spring and Summer. It fit really nicely so it’ll be great once it goes on sale.
I don’t have good luck with LOFT skirts for some reason. They never fit me and are always too big. I love the colors of this skirt and it would look great on someone a size or two up from me.
SALE ITEMS:
Printed Sheath Dress- 00P
I couldn’t find this online but it’s the fit is too big anyway. I believe it was $69.99 plus 40% off= $41.99
Again, it would be great for someone 1 or 2 sizes up from me.
I couldn’t find the link to this top so it must be old. I wanted to try something on that I normally wouldn’t even take a second look. It’s a bit boxy for me but it would be great for someone who likes stripes and these type of tops.
I actually attempted to buy this dress several weeks ago but then decided to return it and now it’s on sale. The fit is decent but not perfect. I do however like the length and the colors are super pretty. I may wait to pick this up when it is much cheaper.
I found this one and like it much better than my other turquoise ring. Although it may be a bit too much, it looks really nice when on your finger. I really wanted the bronze/gold one and lovely Vicky from VickysDailyFashion is going to look for it for me! She is so sweet!
The only thing I bought from Loft is thiscropped scuba jacket in camel. I had to special order it in a 00P from a different store because my Loft didn’t carry any petite jackets in this style. I had been watching it online but even at full price ($128), it was sold out right away in petite sizes which surprised me! Jean twit pic’d it awhile ago and it fit her really well so it should fit me. It’s currently on sale for $94.99 plus 40% off for a total of around $56. Still a bit spendy for this blazer but I love the color and the cropped style. Below is the tag for reference. The SA said there are still 00P’s available in other states.
So I walked out of the mall with only one Loft blazer (on order) and one F21 ring…not bad right? I held back! YAY! Making progress 🙂
Which item is your favorite from this post?
***I added a bunch of petite-friendly items to my blog sale (finally). So please stop by and check it out. A lot of stuff is new and most of it has been only worn once or twice. I have tons of great accessories too! If you are looking for nice skirt suits, I have a TON of them for dirt cheap. I will be adding more today:) Shop HERE! And make sure to click to the other pages on the very bottom to see more items.***
Wow! That looks like a lot of work….trying on all those things and taking pictures….but it's definitely appreciated 😉 Btw…I received the Loft's antique floral pencil skirt yesterday in the mail….fell in love immediately but on closer inspection found that the material was almost falling apart (looked like it was dry rotting – it was very very weird). Sadly, I will be returning it since the quality was so bad! This is the first time I've experienced this problem with the Loft and it could just be the material for this particular skirt. Of all the items you tried on at the Loft, I love the floral sheath on you!…wondering if it would fit me okay since I am a size or two up from you. I may just go ahead and order since returning is always an option 😉 hee Thanks again!
Great reviews! I actually think the floral sheath dress flatters you nicely. Plus the styling is great.
I stopped by LOFT today (bf wanted to go shopping), but I was good at sticking to my ban. Though I tried on a few things and already know what I plan to buy. Next weekend can't come soon enough!
Mauve purple really compliments your skin tone! I like it on you and especially since it is on sale you should go grab it! Thanks for the new LOFT items review, I've always wondered why their skirts ran bigger than their dresses? Hmmm…
On an unrelated note, if you could write a blog about how you stay in shape, I think many reader would be very interested. You always look great in the pictures. I keep wondering what kind of workout you do, how often or what you eat everyday etc. LOL!
Thanks for sharing all those tips and great sales with us!
Good job on holding back and thanks for the detailed fitting room reviews! I really love that floral sheath on you and hope it goes on sale soon so you can get it 🙂
awesome job finding the camel blazer on sale!! i can't wait to see it on you. i really love that floral sheath dress on you too and will have to wait for it to go on further sale. 🙂
@Banhannas Thanks Banhannas! And their skirts def run bigger and their dresses are hit and miss. Some fit but most are loose. I may pick up the dress later when it's cheaper..LOL
@AnonymousAwe…you are so sweet!!!! I don't feel in good shape! I used to be in really great shape but I may consider doing a post per your request:) But I do eat a LOT! LOL
Annie, you have a great collection of sheath dresses and you look amazing in them! I actually didn't think much of the floral sheath dress from your fitting room pics, but after you styled it… I now want one for myself! Thanks for the detailed reviews. I think I might go to Loft tonight now 😉
I really like the first top – the pleats make it so different yet I can see it being a great basic. I really like the Loft skirt too but yes definitely too big on you. And that sheath dress you picked up is really nice – would it be worth altering?
I also would like to commend you on holding back! I know how hard it can be (clearly based on my username). I actually liked the floral print dress on you that you ended up returning – perhaps the picture did quite show how big it was on you.
Have you checked out your local Target store lately? I tried on a sheath dress there and fell instantly in love – am thinking of going back to buy it in beige (bought it in turquoise). I have the size 2, so I'm not sure if you'll be swimming in it or not – but might be worth a try, especially if they have a 0. I'll try to post a few pics of it this weekend on my blog.
ooh great picks, that last outfit you have on is so sophisticated and girly, you look great! i really liked that striped shirt, too bad it didn't fit. congrats on your anniversary too, keep up the great work! 🙂
Hello! I'm a new reader to your blog, having just discovered the wonderful world of petite fashion blogs. (:
I tried on the zip-pocket sleeveless dress this past weekend at LOFT because I loved it on the hanger. As someone a with a thicker waist than you, it didn't fit any better and just awkwardly hung on me. I was very disappointed. I'd like to see who is able to pull off that dress!
Just wanted to say hi. I love your blog!!! You have a new follower 😉
That camel jacket you got looks amazing. Good buy! Sorry you didn't find the exact ring you want – that one is gorgeous though! I would rock that.

Thanks for the reviews! I really like the Island Floral Peplum top…I will have to try this on!
Oh! You are getting me excited for LOFT items! I have not stepped foot in the store for nearly a month…such a shocker!
My favorite is definitely the island floral top! Such a pretty fabric! I am bummed that the zip pocket dress runs so big! 🙁

@Christy @ Stylishly Inspired Awe..Hi Christy!! So glad your a new follower:)
@Ida Yeah I am pretty excited about the camel jacket! And Vicky ended up finding me the ring I wanted:)
@Callandra Bummer about the skirt! It looked pretty good store (quality wise) so that really is strange!
And it was A LOT of work doing fitting room posts…:)
And I think you should be able to fit the floral sheath because it's still roomy on me – hard to tell by pics but it was if that helps!
@Tara Oh you will love the peplum top! It's so pretty:)
@Michelle A month? Oh my! That would be hard for me to do! LOL And yeah the zip pocket dress is gigantic!
@Banhannas Thanks Banhannas! And their skirts def run bigger and their dresses are hit and miss. Some fit but most are loose. I may pick up the dress later when it's cheaper..LOL
@CeeYAY for bf wanting to go shopping! LOL Points for him! And how did you stick to your ban? I would cave in..LOL
@AnonymousAwe…you are so sweet!!!! I don't feel in good shape! I used to be in really great shape but I may consider doing a post per your request:) But I do eat a LOT! LOL
@SewPetiteGalAre you so proud of me SPG? LOL Totally keeping my eye on the floral sheath..it def will go cheaper:)
@kileenI didn't think the floral sheath would be such a hit! And yay for the camel blazer huh?
@Mitr Friend – BhushavaliThe green skirt is super pretty but too big:(

The vintage ring is AMAZING. I gotta go to F21 to check it out. I always have to try on rings because my hands are so tiny!

I had my eye on the zip pocket dress but I am disappointed that it fits so huge – do you remember if it is a pullover dress or did it have a zipper?
I think you look great in the pleated zip top!
