Great Deals At The Loft

I have a confession to make: I am becoming a Loft full-price buyer. I am incredibly impressed with the Loft this season and I keep finding stuff that not only is very good quality for the price but is also very different from what I find at JCrew, which sometimes feels like a breath of fresh air when you spend your day obsessing over one retailer's Catalog. I also noticed that the good stuff tend to disappear very quickly, at least at my store and in my size, and while I used to wait for a coupon before buying anything there, now I just go for it.
I wanted to share three of my recent finds, that are now 30% off with the current limited-time promotion on full-price purchases (go to the website for code and infos).

When I first saw the Graphic Stripe Sweater Skirt it was love at first sight. I have seen a lot of skirts "inspired by" Missoni but I can tell you that this one is as close to the real thing as it gets (I recently tried a Missoni piece in store and was slightly underwhelmed compared to its Loft knockoff, no joke). It is extremely comfortable to wear (no lurex in it) and is very flattering, it has a magic slimming effect even if it is a knit. It has pockets, which is always a bonus.
This is the XS, fits TTS:

The only problem with this skirt is the color. I don't have many things to pair with it and nothing that really matches the turquoise and teal in the skirt. I had to buy the tee in the first pic to have an option other than white to wear with it. So I am not 100% sure that I am going to keep it for that reason but I think that it is an awesome skirt.
The day when I bought the skirt I noticed a dress in the same wave but in neutral colors, the Wavy Stitch Stripe Sweater dress. I gave it a try and decided to buy it as well because it seemed like something that could travel very easily and be the perfect candidate for my vacation suitcase (I am going to Italy in August). At that time I sort of liked the skirt better because the colors are more summery and I was a bit bummed that the dress didn't come in that turquoise as well.
Since then I changed my mind. This has become one of my favorite all-time dresses. It has the same slimming effect of the skirt and it is close to wearing nothing on a hot day. This is the XS as well, that day the temperature neared 100 degrees and I felt fresh all day:

Warning: this is the kind of dress that men tend to like, so be prepared if you buy it. I received several whistles from street workers and I can tell you, that hadn't happened in a very long time. I felt a bit Sophia Loren in this dress, it has that power on you. Besides the street workers, I received a compliment from every single person I talked to that day (I was looking for a present so I went into every other boutique on Madison and every single SA or client complimented me on the dress).
This is the outfit that I wore (less the necklace, I thought that the dress was enough and plus my Stubbs and Wooton espadrilles, that really added to the outfit):

Something that I am kicking myself for not buying full price in store is the Sunwash tee in neon kiwi (which is really neon yellow). This tee is awesome as well, and it is perfect to wear with the Tina Turks for BR shorts that you have seen in a previous post. Now it is sold-out in my store and it is going to be the hassle.

Last, I often hear on the JCA people complaining about the lack of silver-toned jewelry at Jcrew. It is true that most of the JCrew jewelry is gold-toned and these days I find myself gravitating towards the silvers. The Loft is the place to go if you are looking for inexpensive silver-toned jewelry, most of their necklaces are priced $34.50.
In particular I was looking for a pendant-style necklace to wear casually on a white tee. I found this one today that not only has silver hardware but also white stones (this is my OOTD, BTW, and that tee is the factory version of the vintage cotton lace tee):

Have you stopped at the Loft recently? What do you think of their offerings this season? Would you wear the "Sophia" dress?
