Loft - jackets (irl pics)

Striped merino wool blazer (247528) - Size S - Runs XXS - XXL, no petite sizes. 100% merino wool, unlined. Hand wash cold, dry flat. Hand wash this big ole piece? I'd have to try Dryel. The sleeves are too long, but I really liked this. I really, really want it and am debating whether to order it by tomorrow. Only prob is I often indulge in many wants. I feel it's a unique piece, though. Dang it's cute. Stripes! Love 'em.

No, not preg. I just look like that in Loft tops. Too clingy.

Tweed jacket with chain detail (244763) - Size S - I only saw regular sizes, no petites. It's like a tweed bomber. It has the sweater ribbing at the bottom. If I didn't already own a couple little tweed jackets, I would have gotten this. The chiffon placket & chain detailing are trendy, but it's really cute. $129.99 + 50% off.

Merino wool blazer (247527) - Size S - 100% merino wool, which is nice. Unlined, fyi. This is a boyfriend type style, but not too slouchy or baggy. It's nice for what it is. Hand wash, dry flat.

Military sweater coat (247099) - 100% merino wool, unlined. I tried this on for the blog only. I was very surprised at how cute it is. Even the shoulder ruffle detail, which I was sure would be a bit much. The whole thing is cute. Thumbs up.

Military wool jacket with ribbon hem (251757) - Size 6 - This size was pretty good. I think the 4 might fit better in the chest, but would be too tight in the waist/stomach. This is how long the sleeve is. I'm 5'2".

I tucked the sleeve. Sometimes I do on regular (non-petite) items if I think it will stay, instead of getting it hemmed. That way when I give it away, it will fit someone who is regular size. And a P can still have it altered to fit or. The buttons on the placket are the same as the ones on the pockets. It's almost too bad they're hidden, but then it would have been an even stronger military statement.

Open. Not looking so great, but when it's open it shows off the tulle hem. The jacket is 54% wool, 23% poly, 23% nylon, with an acetate lining.

The tulle/ribbon hem.

Velveteen jacket - PM - This was a mess. It has a quilted lining and is too puffy.

* Melton wool military coat - I saw this in eggplant and it's beautiful. At least on the hanger. The SAs at one Loft I go to ignore me until the last possible minute. I started my own fitting room and kept adding to it. I meant to add this to my room and forgot.

* Trimmed camel coat - Love this.

* Wool twill swing coat - Cutie patootie.

FYI -- There are some blazers that look pretty good and are an additional 50% off bringing the total to around $65 or so. I don't see them online. If you need one, scout them out on the sale rack. Remember, some Lofts mix sale from the front of the store to the rear. So don't assume clearance is limited to one area. Also, some markdowns are missed, which I discover from time to time. I scored a necklace for $2.44. She kept ringing it up like she couldn't believe the price. I was thinking, lady, it's $2.44 already. Just bag it.

If you didn't catch the news, Loft is having a 30% off new arrivals prom in-store & online. Use FIRSTLOOK online. They have also have an additional 50% off clearance items both in-store & online. If you order online, shipping is free on any amount 'for a limited time.'

Thanks for visiting :-)
