Until Tuesday, the entire inventory (both in-store and online) is 40% off at LOFT. In the last few years, LOFT has re-invented itself, and their new designs, coupled with decent prices, has made LOFT (in my opinion) a no-brainer for moms.
Sooo…now they are offering 40% off new basics to wear now and into Spring? Yes, please. While there is a ton of stuff to choose from (need a silky top? A pretty scarf? Cool date-night shoes?)…I'd take advantage of the 40% off to go get me some Spring jackets and stripes.
Here's what I'm loving:
(Wait! First…what I'm NOT loving. Their styling. The outfits below are awkward with downright awful color-combinations. However, the jackets & striped tops are great….so please look past the bizarre styling.)
Ok. Back to loving:
1. Please ignore the mom jeans and just focus on the fab navy anorak with the ruffled collar, originally $98.
2. While I appreciate the fact that clashing can sometimes be good…it physically hurts to look at this orange ruffled windbreaker with the olive khakis and silky purple/pink/green/cream top. Hurts. But the jacket? True love. Bonus – it's a windbreaker, so perfect for the playground…AND hides the pooch. Orig $98.
3. If you are scared of the orange, there's a mellower iteration in cotton. Also $98 before discount.
4. Lastly, I like this tweedy wool blazer. The ruffle detail continues around the back. It's perfect now and will still be on-trend with Fall's ladylike silhouettes. It's $124 before the discount.
Again with the Olive khakis!! Gah!!
1. Nautical Striped top, orig $50.
2. Sketch Stripe Boatneck top, orig $40.
3. Striped Boatneck Sweater, orig $50.
4. Stripe Knit Top, orig $60
5. Striped Slub Hoodie, orig $40…also comes in a maternity version.
I'm wondering if one of the J.Crew designers jumped ship during the Spring 2011 design phase…
Looks familiar, no?
I much prefer how J. Crew styled these tops. The lighter khaki is spot-on (denim will, of course, also work), the layered bracelets add some glam to the overall look, and the pop of color on the lips? Perfection.
The LOFT necklace-stripe combo above leaves me feeling…unsure. Did they mean to put them there? Maybe….the necklaces do look rope-like…as if they're supposed to be a little nautical joke? Ha ha.…ha. Hunh.
Anyway, happy shopping!
