Up until a couple of yeas ago, I’d never stepped foot inside a Loft store. In my head, it was a brand for older people and not really somewhere that I considered shopping. Then one day I was wandering along Fifth Avenue after work and I decided to pop into the store. I was pleasantly surprised by all of the cute things that I saw and it didn’t hurt that they were having a 40% off sale at the time. I like Loft because the styles are simple and classic. The pieces I’ve purchased from Loft are very versatile, meaning that I can wear them to work or on the weekends. Best of all, they’re always having sales, so I don’t think I’ve purchased anything from there at full price! Do you shop at Loft?

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I shopped there a bit when I still living in the US (only a few Canadian cities have the chain) and definitely managed to find some cute things!

I’m glad I finally started checking out their stuff!
I stopped by Loft last week when I was going to the DMV and they had some really cute pieces for Spring. This is a store that I often overlook but I think I may have to shop there more now.

I agree- they have a bunch of new arrivals for Spring and right now they’re 40% off!
I really like Loft and I agree, they have very classic pieces that can help you create a great wardrobe. I love your picks here!
Thank you Maru!
I think Loft stepped up their styling! I used to have similar notions about the company but after working with a client and researching items for her, I realized how cute they became! It was surprising but a very welcome one! =) Totally digging it! hehe

?I think you’re right about they styling! I’m not sure what it was like before, but now I think it’s young and fresh (particularly their Lou & Grey line).?
They do have some great things there and I always notice that they have amazing sales! I recently picked up a blouse on sale but haven’t outfitted it yet. I think it was my first purchase from their store so it could be the beginning of a decent relationship. lol!
Yep, I took advantage of the sale this weekend and grabbed a couple of things from this list! I’m looking forward to seeing the top you got in an outfit post on your blog :)
I’ve been seeing these styles everywhere lately! The grey dress is my favorite. I love the window pane print, but I can’t trust myself not to spill coffee on it!
I bought the black/grey and the windowpane skirt since they had a sale this weekend!
My boss used to wear quite a lot of pieces from Loft. I actually really love the window pane matching set. :) Have a lovely week.

I love that they have pieces that are trendy and work-appropriate. Hope you’re having a good weekend!
Funnily enougb, I just checked out the LOFT site for the first time ever a few days ago! I love that grid print :)

What a coincidence! Me too- I ended up buying the skirt version of that print :)
I love the grid print pieces and I often enjoy loft’s offerings, but there isn’t really a location super close to me and their free ship min is so high that I rarely shop there.
Chic on the Cheap
The main reason I started looking at their stuff is because there’s a store just a few blocks away from my work. Makes sense- I certainly don’t like to pay for shipping if I don’t have to!
I like the oversized gingham print. LOFT always has great sales. Don’t count them out!
They had another sale this weekend and I’ve got some LOFT cash to spend too!
