Hello, friends! Today’s post is an at-home try-on featuring fall style items from one of my favorite retailers: LOFT! This store is PERFECT for those of you who may be in the workforce or simply like that laid back, casual, yet sophisticated look. They’ve been running some really great sales lately, so I thought I’d order a few things and see how I liked them. I’ll share everything I tried on and then tell you what I ended up keeping for myself – I don’t think you’ll be very surprised with my choices.. 😉
We’ll start with an outfit I thought would be great for the office, but first – here’s a video so you can see some of the outfit options in action!
Office Attire
The truth is, so many of these pieces can be worn to the office. It’s hard to tell, but even the leggings you’ll see below are ponte – which means they’re hardy and thick enough to get away with flats or heels and a nice blouse! This outfit, however, is not controversial at all (unless covering your shoulders is a concern), but I know that’s not a big deal in most places these days.
I love that this leopard print skirt is thick, yet slightly stretchy and easy to move around in. It’s the perfect length in my opinion and would even look great with a black cardigan or blazer if you want to dress it up a bit! I paired it with this sleeveless back mock turtleneck top which was great in and of itself. It looks good with jeans, too, as you’ll see when you scroll a little further down.
Fall Weather Basics
I just want to take a moment to say that LOFT pieces are always so high quality. I’ve yet to find anything that isn’t extremely well made and their basics are so soft! I ordered this dolman sleeve basic top in two colors to try on and was blown away at how GOOD the material felt! When it came to deciding what to keep and what to send back, I knew I HAD to keep one of them!
Here is one of those tops styled OVER a pajama top!
This striped shirttail top is super comfortable, the perfect colors for Fall and a great length to wear with leggings and boots because it’s pretty munch tunic length (covers your booty)! I loved it paired with both black leggings and blue jeans!
Let’s talk about this little cream colored kimono. I was in love. The fit was perfect for layering over just about everything and the color is so versatile. As you can see from the video – I used it with almost every look I tried on – including a pajama set!
Okay, we can’t skim over these button-fly jeans. Aren’t they so cute?! The wash is a medium-dark color and I absolutely love them. The only reason I didn’t keep them is I already have a similar pair and these actually fit me a little bit big (if you’re between sizes I’d recommend sizing down in these).
Last piece I’ll mention is this mix media short sleeve sweater top. LOFT has carried some version of this top in different sleeve lengths for what I dare say is years now and I’ve ALWAYS loved them. The prints they use for the backing are always so pretty, but when I saw this blue striped one, I knew I couldn’t put off trying one on any longer. This top seriously just spoke to me and the love affair didn’t end when putting it on. It’s comfortable and can be worn with so many things!
Poncho Sweater + Ponte Leggings
If you’re not very familiar with LOFT, you should just know that anything by their featured brand ‘Lou + Grey’ is going to be SO SOFT and SO COMFORTABLE. This camel colored poncho sweater was definitely no exception. I loved the way it looked paired with these black ponte leggings and a pair of black riding boots (an old pair I’ve had forever – similar here). As for these leggings, like I said – they’re nice and thick so they’d be considered appropriate just about anywhere. However, they’re not so thick as in hot or uncomfortable! They’re actually just the opposite. The material is very breathable and has a good about of stretch and give. Plus, they’re high waisted and do a great job of holding you in (which I love)!
The pieces I kept
Alright, let’s talk about the pieces I ended up keeping – and why. To be honest with you, it was VERY hard to choose anything to go back, but in the end, I kept 5 out of the 12 things I tried on.
Pajama Set + Slippers
I know, I know – you’re probably not surprised. But this pajama set is 1. BEAUTIFUL and 2. so comfortable and timeless. I ordered it to try with these fuzzy, soft pink slippers too, which I also kept! What really pushed me over the edge to keep this set was the fact that I felt like I could even wear this pajama top with day time clothes. See what I mean:
I mean.. c’mon.. pajamas that pull double duty?? I couldn’t send them back! Here’s a photo with them as… actual pajamas + slippers! I purchase a pair of slippers (or ask for them on my Christmas list) every year and these DID NOT disappoint. You should feel how soft and cushioned they are (also come in gray)!
Basics
Now that summer’s over, it’s about time I phase out the basic crewneck short sleeve tops I’ve been wearing nonstop and start adding in cool/cold weather appropriate basics. That’s why I went ahead and kept this stripe top and gray dolman sleeve top. As I said above, I love how versatile they both are – and how SOFT!
Mixed Media Top
You could probably tell by the way I was raving about this top fitting ‘my style’ that it was going to be a keeper.. and it definitely was! I plan to wear it with blue jeans and riding boots and maybe even white denim with booties! You’ll see a lot of this one on me this fall – that’s for sure.
Alright my friends, I think that’s a wrap. What did y’all think of this fall try-on? Which look/piece was your favorite?!
