Yesterday I scored a couple of good deals on some "perfect for spring" items from the LOFT. I got this champagne colored
Floral Print Sheath dress and multicolored
Abstract Floral Print Pencil Skirt.
And get this, I only paid $50.10 for both! "How?!", you ask. Well they were both on the sale racks and there was 40% off sale items plus I used my $20 Loft Rewards I recently earned! The dress was orignally $79.50 and the skirt $69.50, so I saved $100 bucks - oh happy day! I recommend going in-store for good sale deals because the sale price in-store seems to always be cheaper than the one's online. The online sale prices are $70 for the dress and $65 for the skirt. My sale price tags were $60 for the dress and $50 for the skirt. However, the advantage to ordering on-line is that there is usually a wider selection in size availability than in-store (at least in my experience).
I also wanted to note that I got both items in the petite sizes (size 4P) even though I'm not petite (5'5") because the regular sizing hemline fell too far below my knees. I felt like a mean, matronly school teacher - even in these bright pretty patterns. Here's a few fitting room shots with the petite sizes on:
The petite sizes fell at or just above my knees, and they passed the bend-over and sit-down test.
I think both of these are so pretty and will be perfect for spring. The colors of the pencil skirt are kind of on the bold side for me (I normally live in neutrals) but its so pretty and it was such a good deal I couldn't resist. I have a peachy-pink sateen tank that I think will go well with it.
I think the sheath dress will be perfect for church or a wedding. One of the stock photos on Loft's website show it with a brown belt at the waist, I may try that. The belt gives more definition to the waist.
Thanks for stopping by!
