So, here it is. It is the perfect topper for my new "uniform" (it covers the butt) and I didn't have a black casual coat (the only black coat that I have is the JCrew Script coat from a few season ago but it is kind of elegant and I usually wear it to go out in the evening). I wore it yesterday with my Ponte leggings (I bought a backup pair with the 50% off, I love them so much) and last year's Tippi in leopard that I recently bought from a JCA:
While I was at the Loft I also tried a pair of their Super skinny curduroys. I had tried them in black on another visit but the 26/2 (which is my regular size) was a tad too big because they are very stretchy and they didn't have a 25/0 to try. This time I picked up the "incense khaki" (what a name!) color because it is the kind of beige that isn't offered in the JCrew toothpicks.
Well, I really loved them, so for the price I picked up a pair. They are a very thin wale curduroy, different from the toothpicks, and very soft/comfortable to wear. I didn't feel squeezed in them, they are very stretchy, if a bit thin.
I am so used to the ankle length of the toothpicks that now I find the regular length kind of weird. They will look great tucked in boots but I tried them with a little heel and I liked them as well (the toothpicks on the other side are better with flats because of the cropped style):
Now I am seriously considering the ones in the leopard spots print that are online only (take 40% off your entire purchase with code SHOP40).
Did you stop-shop at the Loft as of late?
Love the new coat and cords. Thank you again for the Loft reminder. I forget about them. I tried the color block skirt a few weeks ago. It is so cute, but not something I'll wear very often, so even discounted, not worth it. I have had good luck with Loft tops and tees-basics so I'll head over now for a look.
ReplyDeleteI love the Loft leggings; own 3 pairs. They are a great weight.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like the thin weight of their cords, but they look really nice on you. I may give them another try.
love ur jacket ♥
ReplyDeleteLike the jacket
ReplyDeletenever had luck with their pants reg sizes too big petites too small....whats up with that??
Was the line out the door
Love the leopard pants though, why online only :-(
This coat is perfect on you Ema and a great price to boot! I think you will wear it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI ordered electric plaid blouse, mostly inspired by you, let's hope it works since it is FS, I know, not very wise.
So funny Ema- I raced by the Loft near Rockefeller Center today on my way to Starbucks ( American Girl Doll Day with my niece) and I had to stop to look at the window. The Cords caught my eye immediately, especially the color you got, and the deep blue. I am not sure if they are the same ones- I couldn't tell at a glance if they were velveteen or baby wale corduroy, but they were gorgeous. They did seem very slim- perfect for you, but maybe not as perfect for me!
