LOFT

I’m trying really hard to buy more quality pieces of clothing, instead of items that I will end up throwing away in 2 months. For me, this is a good transition store. They have great basics that fit me well enough that I don’t have to get them tailored (jeans mostly), and at a pretty decent price. If you catch a good sale, you can save up to 40% off, and, use their cash card offerings from previous purchases. That’s what I did recently and saved quite a bit. I bought a few t-​shirts, pairs of jeans, and pants. You do have to get over the first initial walk-​in, as they don’t tend to greet you right away. I’m not sure why that is, but, once you get in and start trying things out, you’ll find that most of them are willing to help. They do carry petite in store, and that has served me well. I’ve bought several pairs of jeans here without having to get them hemmed. Also, just a side-​note, I would recommend trying a few pairs of one size on, as they seem to vary in length and fit. The first pair might not feel right (too long), but oddly enough, the second pair might be perfect. The same goes for their tops. Also, I love their Lou and Grey line. It’s a little different than the usual Loft pieces.
