Did u notice some of the goodie from Ann Taylor Loft Lately? One of the reason I don't like LOFT as much is for the SA's attitude towards returns. They act as if you owe them money or something. Did the local store get ding for return items or something? I have never seen any store this bad with returns. One time the guy at the counter even said to me that next time I should just send it back with the return label, don't bother come into the stores. What about I might want to check out something at the store besides avoid shipping fee for return items. It is not like there were tons of customer waiting in line or anything. The other thing? They always forget to demagnetize their on-line orders. I have to apologized to ever store on the way because this damn sensor just kept beeping. It is so embarassing.
OK, enough complaining. This post is supposed to be the thing I love about LOFT. The thing is despite the service, LOFT do have some cute stuff that kind of resembles some Anthro items and for a lot less and they heavily discount their items constantly.
So what is on my wishlist? The Cocoon Drape top. It reminds me of Anthro's Neo-Refinement Pullover
probably because they both have a slouchy sleeve except Anthro's version is asymmetrical. I probably like LOFT's version more because I like the soft peachy color more. Also the Coccon Drapes a bit lower so it is a more flattering neckline for me. Also it is a thiner material listed as Linen+Rayon Blend. I am not sure how you would wear a sleeve like that with a coat, so with Anthro's wool version, I wouldn't know when to wear it. I am a little skeptical about machine washable part in this sweater because most time linen or rayon by itself are not even machine washable. |
Its solid color sister is pretty nice too.

I also like this on line exclusive twill taylor skirt. I love both the Khaki and Navy version and I think it'd look perfect with a stipe T.

Oh yes, the loft top does remind me of Anthro's Neo-Refinement Pullover. We don't have Loft in oz, well there's a lot of things we don't have :-)
ReplyDeleteYour daughter looks so adorable in her little pink ruffle skirt. Nice to see mum in grown up ruffles as well!
I'm not a LOFT shopper, but my sister has ordered online from LOFT a few times. I went to the store with her last year to do a return and the SA was not so nice about it either. Incidentally, I did a return at Anthro for an online order and the SA actually told that I should return it by mail? I was sort of dumbfounded by the comment as I was standing right in the store with the box of things?! Btw... love your sweaterdress! My sister has it and I borrowed it several times! You're daughter's outfit is so cute. I wish I could get away with something like that :)
ReplyDeletelove your outfit!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awful about your Loft store. You should probably write a letter to corporate about it. I have never had trouble at mine and I return A LOT since I hardly ever try on in store.
ReplyDeleteBut, your wishlist items are wonderfully pretty. I just walked past Loft today and saw some very lovely things in the window. May have to venture in next time.
Your daughter is adorable too, she looks like a Crewcuts model. Mine likes me to post her OOTDs sometimes. :)
Oh, your daughter is so cute! I love her skirt and leggings! Your OOTD is great too! What a pretty sweater dress (and great price)!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been into LOFT in a couple of years actually. I have seen some cute items online, but for whatever reason, just never make it into the store. The drape top is really pretty, I like the gray/lavender color. That's too bad about their customer service.
You and your daughter look so much alike!! She is so cute.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater dress!
And I'm in the Silicon Valley too! I'm loving reading your blog
vintageglammz: you guys have other great stores that I wish we had whenever I see an awesome piece in your outfit :-)
ReplyDeleteCat: At this age, I think they can throw random uncoordinated things on and still look cute. I wish I could do that
ina: thank you!
Betty: My daughter somehow is the I want all type so whatever others have, she want it. It is a blessing and a curse because you can get her to try something even that is difficult for her because her friends try it, but on the other hand, I worry she would never be content later in life.
Kristin: I think with on-line shopping, there is also a comfort level involved. It is like me with F21, they have some stuff that look very cute, but i had never dare to order it.
Kelly: Glad to meet someone from the same area. I'd be sure check yours too.
I’ve shopped at Loft before and I do like some of their pieces, the quality is ok, but the cutting/design and fit is so-so. But you never know, some items there are winners. Can’t wait to see how it looks on you.
