About Loft

Happy Friday everyone! We made it through another work week in quarantine. To be honest, I’ve lost track of how long it’s been, but I can’t believe it’s May already! There’s something about this month that gives me a glimmer of hope – the weather is getting warmer, summer is almost here and I’m optimistic that life can (slowly and carefully) start back up again soon.
I’ve been seeing puff sleeves everywhere for spring – it’s a fun detail without looking too over the top. It’s a little hard to see in this picture, but it has the prettiest floral texture to it. This top also comes in white.
Every month when I get my new Infinitely LOFT box in the mail, it’s like a kid on Christmas morning! When I first heard about LOFT’S new clothing rental service, I was super excited. You get to wear new clothes and NOT have to buy them all?! Sign me up!
In college I was a campus rep for Rent the Runway which is the first rental service I had ever heard of. They offer way more dressy options for special events like wedding and black tie and it’s pretty expensive, around $130/month. Infinitely LOFT offers a good combo of casual, seasonal, trendy, girly and everyday pieces!
LOFT is one of my absolute favorite stores. Being a fashion blogger and living in a mostly warm-climate year round is challenging around the fall and winter months. I truly don’t buy lots of winter clothes or gear but sometimes I want to chat about winter pieces! I don’t necessarily “shop” for blog content. I buy what I love and then I use it to create blog content.
Overview of Loft
Around fall, I stared looking at rental services that offered some winter options like sweaters or jackets that I wouldn’t normally invest in. I’m not a full-time blogger than can benefit from buying clothes that I don’t actually wear, so I don’t see a point to put myself in debt for fashion sake.
When I saw that LOFT started one, I knew I could use it to find more winter pieces, work clothes, use the clothes as extra blog content and just have fun trying new things!
So far I love it, there’s just one little tiff I have about the service that I wrote about. Gotta keep reading to find out what it is! My hope is that once the company gets the kinks worked out, it will run smoothly since it’s still a fairly new service.

I’m back this week with a few new LOFT reviews. I understand that clothes shopping isn’t a necessity given how anxious and uncertain everything is but online shopping remains a welcome distraction for some since we’re staying in with nowhere to go.
Loft Product Review
There are quite a lot of items and categories that we could go through but we’ve selected some of the brand’s best selling pieces to cover in this Loft dresses review, covering specific pieces along with items in their petite section from Loft clothing.
A couple of weekends ago, we trekked over to the magical Loire Valley of France for some chateau gawking and general meanderings through the French countryside. I was eager to take my new Tallwater Jeans for a test drive and ended up wearing them two different ways.
While I adore the jeans, I ended up kinda sorta loathing one of my outfits and loving the other. Overall, my Tallwater Jeans held up great for my excursions, were super comfortable and made me remember why it’s sometimes nice to shed my skinnies for a pair of bootcuts every now and again.
Loft Mint Floral Top with Puff Sleeves Dress Review
I’ve been seeing puff sleeves everywhere for spring – it’s a fun detail without looking too over the top. It’s a little hard to see in this picture, but it has the prettiest floral texture to it. This top also comes in white.
My only tiff so far with the service is that I don’t always get the 3 items I mark as priority. I thought I was being “good” about having 20 items in my closet at all times but I may need to try the “only 3” rule and see if that helps for my next order.
I’ve also gotten a few weird boxes. One with two super large fur coats (one looked no joke was yellow and looked like a big bird costime) and a super thin summer dress. Only one of them was marked priority and the other two weren’t. Yes, I probably shouldn’t have put large fur coats in my closet but I do wish there was an option for selecting what type of climate you live in. I think that could help solve the issue or having a more personal shopping experience.
Another box had two of the same joggers in different colors. You can see them above. If I’m going to rent clothes, I don’t really want to spend $70/month on joggers…I can go to Target for that, so next time I just wont add joggers to my closet. Problem fixed on that one!
Loft Floral Smocked Jumpsuit Dress Review
Probably my favorite purchase from this recent order. I love a good wide leg jumpsuit because it feels like you’re wearing pajamas – also makes for a good one-and-done outfit.
The top is completely smocked so you’ve got a bit of stretch in the bust area. The length is supposed to be cropped, but since I went for regular sizing instead of petite, it fits full length on me. P.S. It has pockets!
LOFT is one of my absolute favorite stores. Being a fashion blogger and living in a mostly warm-climate year round is challenging around the fall and winter months. I truly don’t buy lots of winter clothes or gear but sometimes I want to chat about winter pieces! I don’t necessarily “shop” for blog content. I buy what I love and then I use it to create blog content.
They do have great work wear options! The service isn’t geared specificly towards only work wear but there’s endless options like blouses, modest dresses, skirts and pants perfect for the office! If you get bored of wearing the same clothes to work over and over again, I think this is actually the best route to go instead of buying a brand new wardrobe!
Loft Pink Floral Top with Puff Sleeves Dress Review
I picked up a lot of cute floral tops in this order – and didn’t shy away from color either. This bright, punchy color makes me so happy and it’ll work well into summer. I love that you’ve got a little bit of a puff sleeve here too – the sleeves have elastic in them so you can play around with the height and volume.
Also, you know how much I love my white wide leg pants, so I decided to try wide leg jeans for the first time! These are high waisted and I love the tortoise button detail. Went for regular here, but thinking I might switch it for a petite to show a little more ankle here.
This chic black jumpsuit is 100% polyester and I purposely ordered it in my usual regular missy size for extra length. I love the simplicity of it for a one and done outfit.
This dress is soft and stretchy and it can easily be dressed up or down depending on what accessories you style it with. I like the asymmetrical hemline and how the soft folds drape in the skirt portion. I took my usual size 0P but note that the waist is more fitted so this dress will highlight the tummy area due to the stretchy fabric.
Another jumpsuit – are you surprised? This one feels a little “fancier” because it’s made of a satin-like material, but it’s still incredibly comfy – like silk pajamas! I love the ruffle sleeve detail, the elastic waistband and of course the fact that it has pockets.
I love this darker floral print and the fact that the dress has pockets. The ties on the sleeves are a sweet feminine touch. The overall length even in regular missy a little shorter than what I prefer but I like the flirty hemline of this flare dress and it also helps that the neckline is modest. Size 00 regular is 33″ long.
This hobo bag was last featured here and here. I paid full-price for it but it’s was on sale for 25% off along with all Tory Burch items at Nordstrom including the Lee Radziwill styles which are never on promotion. However, I just realized that my exact bag and color is now sold out online due to the sitewide sale (it’s still in stock at full-price here on the Tory Burch website).
Loft Multi-Color Striped T-Shirt Review
Can you tell I’ve been craving a lot of color lately? I decided to have a little fun with this colorful striped t-shirt. I sized up for a more relaxed fit and love the way it looks with high waisted skinny jeans and a pair of white sneakers.
Another floral top – I love tanks like this because you can dress them down (white skinny jeans and a denim jacket) or dress them up (wide leg pants or a ruffle skirt). There does seem to be a bit of fabric if you try tucking it in, but nothing unmanageable.
I was hopeful this tee would work out so I also ordered it in the light blue color as seen here. Unfortunately the material is very thin and I couldn’t pair it with white denim or else the outline of the waistband would be very noticeable. This tee is also available in a navy and white dotted version here but my preferred size is sold out.
Who Is Loft For?
This Loft dresses survey found that the brand can be worn by ladies, all things considered, with some of additional tomfoolery and energetic prints in any event, taking care of high school young ladies.
What’s more, since a ton of Loft’s pieces are strong varieties and immortal plans, there truly is definitely not a prohibitive age range when it comes down to chasing after fundamentals and basics.
Oh polka dots…how I love thee, let me count the ways. If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time, it’s no secret that I adore polka dots and seem to gravitate toward the navy/white variety.
When Long Tall Sally generously offered to let me pick a few items from their spring collection to test drive and review, I knew this navy cowl neck polka dot top would fit perfectly into my Project Remix repertoire and it looks perfect with my pearl necklace. Win-win! As usual, even though this is a sponsored post, I always share my honest.
Loft Reviews: What Do Customers Think?
However you have a superior thought of how Loft and Ann Taylor, this Loft dresses survey will show you precisely their clients’ thought process so you have the full picture.
As referenced beforehand, global clients beyond the US were rejected from giving criticism and remarks to the site so estimating, fit, and quality expect you to do a smidgen more examination.
Kelly G. had an extraordinary involvement with Loft, saying, “I totally love the Loft and the staff! They are generally so decent and it’s an incredible air.”
Another blissful client, Maryellen, shared, “I generally get praises when I wear garments from The Loft. However, their tops r extremely flimsy and u need to wear ragged tie tee under.”
Indeed, even De D. concurred, remarking, “I’ve never disapproved of profits etc. Space is the main brand that I’ve viewed that as fit completely no matter what the garment. To the extent that profits on the web, I’ve made a point to note which things were “last deal” I. E. all purchases are final, ensure you realize you’ll like the piece/they fit.”
Do you ever get led astray from the narrow path of tall shopping into the seemingly wonderful and varied world of non-tall shopping only to trudge to the mall with your tail between your legs to return your non-tall purchases?
