LOFT New Arrivals

While shopping for my mom’s birthday (it’s tomorrow!!) on Friday night, I decided to take a quick detour into the LOFT. After walking around the store for only a couple of minutes, I had made a decision: I wanted everything. The deep hues of the New Arrivals are perfect for both the fall and winter, and I love that so many of their current pieces can be dressed up and dressed down. I adore the polka dot blouse (!!), statement bib necklace, and cardigan below. Since I have my eye on so many new and new-to-me pieces, I thought I needed to pull them all together to share with you:

1. I’m imagining wearing this Bow Neck Tee with jeans as well as my bright hued skinny jeans (my favorite pair is bright pink!) and a pair of flats in the fall and boots in the winter.
2. Pleats + polka dots = yes, please! I spotted the Dip Dot Print Pleat Front Blouse on Friday night, and decided it was a must buy on Saturday. This is sitting pretty in my closet, and I plan to dress it up with grey dress pants and dress it down with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans.
3. One of my favorite accessory styles right now is bib necklaces. I think they’re a great addition to your LBD for work or a sorority event in college!
4. Simple and sweet, pair these Turquoise and Pave studs for day or night!
5. I tried the Ombre Stripe Dress on, on Friday night, and it’s on my wish list for Bridal Market (fashion week for the wedding industry). I love the fit, and the fact that there’s pink makes it an immediate winner. : )
6. Two words: Bow Belt. Need I say more? I would love to wear this with a black or navy chiffon dress, so it really stands out. Someone please buy this and then tweet me a picture!
7. I actually tried the Textural Front Cardigan on in grey, but black works just as well. I love that it’s dressy enough to pair with a pair of jeans and ballet flats for a day of running errands, but comfortable enough that you feel like you’re wearing your favorite sweatshirt.
8. My favorite color-of-the-moment is gold, and I also love navy. The Jacquared Dot Sheer Tee has both colors covered, which is why it caught my eye. Again, dress up, dress down…please purchase.
9. This is one of the new-to-me pieces that I came across while pinning my favorites to my Style board on Pinterest, plus it’s on sale! Wear the Tie-Front Tank now with a pair of jean (or any bright color!) shorts, and then swing it into early fall by pairing it with a cardigan, skinny jeans, and ballet flats or sandals.

A quick note on sizing: some of the LOFT’s pieces tend to run a little big, so you may need to buy a size smaller.

Have you been into the LOFT recently? Which pieces are your favorites?
