This is a compensated review
by BlogHer and Loft.
If you were to look into my closet, you would probably see a lot of black and gray. Their might be a few pops of color thrown in there to keep things a little interesting. Maybe I think it’s most flattering or maybe I’m just boring. But yes, that’s pretty much it.
A couple months ago I wrote about trying to incorporate a little more color and variety into my wardrobe. When I was given the opportunity to attend a shopping party at LOFT, I decided why not? Time to make good on that statement about being a little more adventurous with my clothing.

I’ve never shopped at LOFT before but upon first walking in they immediately had me hooked based on the colors palate alone. I’m a big fan of dark pinks and purples and they appear to be “in” right now. Talk about a good first impression.
I met a few of the team members while waiting for my stylist and photographer to get back from their break. Yes, I had a stylist and photographer for my visit to LOFT. Yes, they were AMAZING and yes, I was pretty awkward in front of the camera (but anyone who knows me would know that). But regardless of that, having someone bring you into a new store and pull looks for you was probably the most awesome experience ever. Especially when all the options were reasonably priced and super stylish!
So we pulled together three different looks: Perfect Party Outfit, Office-to-Party and Casual Holiday.

(left to right: office-to-party, holiday casual and perfect party)
First we have Office-to-Party. I loved the accessories we used in this outfit. We wrapped a sparkly, metallic necklace around my wrist a bunch of times and this fabulous studded and jeweled belt (you can’t see the belt too well in the photos so you’ll just have to trust me). The dress was great because it had pockets and well, who doesn’t love dresses with pockets?
Next up is Holiday Casual. I never have been much of a floral kind of girl but I loved this look. The top is super cute. I’m thinking I might have to go back and snatch it up. Also, that scarf. I loved the scarf. Other tips given that day- use the scarf as a headband or belt!
And finally, the Perfect Party Outfit. I lovelovelove the color of this dress. We paired it with some brown tights. Brown and fuchsia is totally something I never would have put together myself but it totally worked! And? It’s the perfect dress for a New Years Eve celebration.
In addition to meeting with a stylist, I was also given a $200 gift card. So with that and the rockin’ sale they had going on, I managed to score myself the fuchsia dress, tights, a pair of black booties I wore with a lot of the outfits I tried on, a cardigan and a top. A total shopping win. I’ll most definitely be back for a lot of the accessories I tried on and a few other pieces I seen in store.
I have a $200 gift card to loft for one lucky reader!

The Loft look that works for me… gosh there are so many. Mainly I love their sweaters, especially now that’s in winter, but they have so many nice tops that go dressy at work and casual on the weekends, which is perfect for me. Plus they have their Loft Loves Teachers program which rocks. Can you tell I love Loft?!

I shop at Loft all.the.time. Seriously, it’s dangerous in there. Their stuff is great for going from work to dinner or work to a party. It’s the store I started shopping at as a “grown up professional”. And FYI, their curvy jeans are the best for those of us who aren’t sticks!

Loft is also one of the stores I was drawn to after graduating to “grown-up professional.”
I love the belted corduroy jacket. For a holiday casual look, what about the boat neck top with charmeuse bow? Too cute.

I love pretty much everything at the Loft. When I had to buy clothes to go back to work after maternity leave, Loft is the ONLY place I was able to find stuff that 1)fit, and 2) made me look good, so I love just about every look they have going right now!

I like the LOFT’s Petal Detail V-Neck Cardigan in Violet Stone and Sandy Brown Melange. It’s a great spin on the traditional cardigan. I think it’s appropriate for the office and with jeans.
I would love to have a stylist team and a photographer! What a fun experience you must of had.

Loft is one of my favorite go-to stores. I feel comfortable there; the sales gals are always useful, I can get what I need at reasonable prices, the clothes are quality, cute, casual and professional all at the same time. How can you go wrong with a store like this!?
By Nora on 12.14.09 10:14 am | Permalink
I can’t believe you had never shopped there before. I adore Ann Taylor Loft. The clothes are perfect for work, for me anyway, because they’re dressy enough, yet not over the top as you might find other places.
And this – http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/outfit.jsp?ensembleId=4613&pCategoryId=3359&categoryId=246&Ns=CATEGORY_SEQ_246&loc=TN&N=1200004 – I love. Simple, yet so chic. And separates so I could pair them with anything. Love it!

I love the perfect party dress on you!
For me, I like LOFT’s tops. The Animal Print Ikat Top is really cute and can be paired with a skirt (maybe their Corduroy Skirt, if the black of the skirt isn’t too dark) or with jeans. My favorite LOFT jeans are the Garment Dye Modern Boot Leg Jeans and the Modern Slim Distressed Jeans.

Love the looks! Especially the first one. Tres chic. My favorite from the website is probably the one they put together with the teal shirt, skinny belt, and gray trousers. So perfect for a night out or work.
