Loft Chunky Tweed Mini Skirt

The Chunky Tweed Mini Skirt from Ann Taylor Loft is the quintessential Fall/Winter skirt. There is just something so warm and cozy but chic about this houndstooth-ish tweed skirt. I absolutely adore it and can NOT wait to wear it!

I was surprised at how thick/heavy and literally warm this skirt is. It also buttons in the front, which is a first for me with skirts. Definitely not a Spring/Summer skirt…

I sized up a size because I saw how far up this skirt sits on this model. It still fits smaller than I would imagine and doesn’t sit as low as I had hoped. Instead of hitting at low waist, I had hoped it would hit more at the hip. So I would say this skirt is probably running one size small. Could be just me. Here’s a pic of where it’s sitting:

You will probably see this skirt a lot in my pictures because it matches everything and is just so cute!

Ann Taylor Loft Striped Sweater with Corsage

Weekend is over. Boo. Hope everyone had a relaxing one. I bought a bunch of Loft clothes recently due to their slew of great promos; I’m on the fence about a few. The Striped Sweater with Corsage from Ann Taylor Loft is one of them.

I know, it looks plain in this stock photo. I bypassed it too, until I saw it styled in one of their other photos that was fleetingly on the site. This sweater is cut a little long, so it looked unbelievably cute paired with a chunky tweed mini and belted at the hip with a wide cognac-colored belt. Throw in some tights and you got the cutest Fall/Winter outfit. Well, it is just as cute in person, and much softer and more comfortable than I expected. I discovered it’s even machine washable, so big bonus on that. But I think it may be a tad too small on me for the style I’m going for. I wanted to go for a slightly looser, boyfriend sweater type of look to drape over a shorter skirt. Instead, I think my usual size just made this a typical sweater for me.

Plus it was slightly tight on the arms. I think my arms must have been getting fatter because recently I’ve been trying on clothes in my usual size that fit me great everywhere but tight in the arms. Grrr. Let’s stop talking about that. Anyway, I’m not sure about this one. I think it’s cute but it wasn’t exactly what I expected in terms of fit and I’m starting to second guess whether I can pull off a “corsage” at the shoulder. What do you guys think?

J.Crew Flower Sketch Tee

Happy Friday!!! Man, this week could not have felt longer, despite it being a shorter week. I’m so relieved and overjoyed that it’s the weekend. Finally. I’m off to see Resident Evil tonight, so I’ll just post a quick review of the Flower Sketch Tee I picked up from J.Crew.

I’m a huge fan of the slub cotton tees from J.Crew. I know people have complained about their tees being of thin and terrible quality, but for me that only applies to their tissue tees. Their slub cotton tees fit so well and always look very cute and flattering. Surprisingly, the only tees I own are the Vintage Cotton V-Neck Tees from J.Crew (aka slub cotton tees) and the adorable Max and Molly Tee, so I figured I can probably benefit from a few more tees. They’re so easy to wear and a basic in anyone’s wardrobe really.

I like this tee a lot. It fits comfortably and is true to size. I can see it being very versatile and a great neutral graphic tee, which isn’t commonly the case with graphic tees these days. Apparently the print was hand drawn by one of the J.Crew designers and then later bedazzled with sequin clusters. Pretty cute, especially at this low price. Definitely recommend.
