I’m usually opposed to buying something at full price from LOFT, but I couldn’t help myself when I tried on this tunic tee on Friday. I actually stopped at the store to try on this skirt and pulled the shirt to wear with it, assuming that it was just another striped shirt and I’d go home without. The skirt fell short of expectations. It didn’t have enough of an a-line shape for my hips and the quality seemed a bit shoddy. This shirt, on the other hand, is amazing. It’s the softest long-sleeve tee I’ve ever worn (as I admitted in this weekend’s Instagram). It runs large, likely due to the tunic-inspired loose silhouette. (I’m usually a size 8 and I went with the small.)
And, in other shopping news, I went ahead and purchased the loafers I mentioned a couple of times over the last few weeks. I wanted a pair of shoes to wear on our Europe trip that weren’t ballet flats, wouldn’t get ruined by rain, and would be versatile enough to wear with pants and dresses. The Louise et Cie loafers fit the bill. There’s a lot going on with them: brogues detailing, metallic patent leather, and tassels. I adore them, though, and they’re incredibly comfortable with a decent amount of padding inside. I wore them for a two-mile walk on Saturday and didn’t end up with sore feet or blisters.

we are so twinning, red stripes are the best. I couldn’t pass up my tee as well when I saw it. You look adorable and your new loafers are perfect!

I love a good striped t-shirt, and sometimes you just need to pull the trigger to get a great tee! Also, those loafers are adorable and if they’re comfortable enough for walking on a Euro vacation that that’s a total win!

Ooo I love the tee! I’ll have to keep my eye on it though, because I also refuse to pay full price at Loft 😉

Haha. I don’t blame you! I might actually buy a second to tuck away if it goes on sale for a deep enough discount.
Loafers are a style I adore on others but fail hopelessly with myself. Metallic and tassels, I’m in love, plus rave reviews about comfort… but I should know better than to be tempted.

and you are wearing jeans! I can’t even remember the last time I saw you in denim.
Haha. So weird, isn’t it?
I fell in love with these loafers because they’re kind of a loafer-meets-ballet flat. I can’t do full-on loafers either.
Nice stripes. Sucks that skirt didn’t work out because it’s super cute. But I’m a bit bias because I love pockets on dresses and skirts
i love that shirt! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Ooh that shirt makes me want to run to Loft right now! I love a classic striped shirt and I don’t have one in RED! The loafers are really fun too and I’m glad to hear that they’re comfortable as well as cute!
Oh, I have fallen in love with the loafers. However looking back, all of the loafers I have ever purchased get little or no wear. They’re very difficult for me to style and be comfortable in…
