LOFT + Abercrombie Try On Session

So many sales, so little time! I normally share the bulk of sale try ons over on the ‘gram but since there are SO many good pieces on major discount right now, I wanted to share some of my favorites along with a little more information on material, sizing and fit.

LOFT is having 40% off your entire purchase with code FRIENDS and Abercrombie is having 30% off your entire purchase with code 11728.

For sizing reference I am typically an XS in tops and 00 in pants. In LOFT I wear an XS in tops, S in sweaters and size 24 in pants. LOFT’s bottoms always run big so I suggest sizing down unless I say otherwise. In Abercrombie, I wear an XS in tops/sweaters and a 25 in jeans.

Leopard Jacquard SweaterWhile there are a lot of leopard items that I love from LOFT right now, this sweater is by far my favorite. It is the softest and a good weight, being that it is not too heavy but still provides some warmth. Since I already have a fitted leopard sweater, I sized up to a medium so that I could wear this one with my Spanx leather leggings.

Velvet Skinny JeansI tried these on in a petite and I would not suggest getting petite sizing as they looked like high waters on me. I would only get petite sizing if you are under 5’2″. Otherwise I loved these jeans and they fit true to size. I typically size down in LOFT but I needed my true size in these.

Leopard Print Blouse: Again, I would not suggest getting petite sizing in this top as the petite sizing was very cropped and the arms were too short. Otherwise I loved this top. Would be perfect for the office paired with a black, camel or burgundy skirt. It would also be great for a date night paired with black skinny jeans, a leather jacket and black pumps. Just a heads up, it is on the thinner side but not sheer.

Pleated Cuff Utility BlouseI’ve posted about this top before and still love it as much as the first time that I tried it on. It is a collared shirt with the cutest sleeve detail. If you need more basic, office appropriate tops, this is such a good one! Could be paired with leopard, black, camel, navy or olive bottoms. True to size and I would not suggest getting petite.

Leopard Jacquard Pocket Skirt: If you are a fellow leopard lover, this skirt is a must! It is a flexible material and runs on the bigger side. Make sure to size down! I would have needed an 00P.

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Striped Pleated Bell Cuff Sweater: Another great basic top for work. It is made out of a thin sweater material and has the cutest sleeve detail. It is a fitted sweater and runs on the smaller side. I would not suggest getting petite sizing and would also recommend sizing up! I needed a small regular.

Tweed Trousers: I wanted to love these but the fit was just not great. The petite sizing were high waters on me and I just found the waist to be ill fitting. Would not recommend.

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Plaid Ruffle Collar Utility Blouse: I’ve seen a lot of bloggers post about this little plaid top but I personally did not love it and would not recommend. It looks so cute online but the neckline is not practical as it was too tight to button all the way up and looked kind of odd undone.

Pocket Sweater VestThis is a must in my opinion. It almost felt like chenille material. it was that soft. It only comes in XS/S and then M/L sizing. I’m wearing the XS/S size and feel like it fit like a true small. Great piece to layer with and wear with leggings!

Double Frayed Soft Slim Pocket Skinny JeansWhile LOFT calls them a jean, I’m going to declare them high quality jeggings. They are super stretchy and forgiving. I actually pulled them on without even having to unbutton them. They do have pockets and the double fray detail is a great touch. Highly recommend these. Size down. I’m wearing a 00 (not petite).

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Marled V-Neck SweaterI love all of the long sweaters from LOFT right now because if you size up in them they can act more like a tunic to wear with leggings. I always wear a size small in LOFT sweaters which is what I’m wearing here.

Flecked Mock Neck Tunic SweaterLoved this sweater and mock neck detail. I am wearing a size small here and i’m not sure if it would have been long enough to cover my butt. If you are wanting it to cover your butt I would size up one from your normal LOFT sweater size.

Double Frayed Soft Slim Pocket Skinny JeansWhile LOFT calls them a jean, I’m going to declare them high quality jeggings. They are super stretchy and forgiving. I actually pulled them on without even having to unbutton them. They do have pockets and the double fray detail is a great touch. Highly recommend these. Size down. I’m wearing a 00 (not petite).

Striped Split Back Mixed Media SweaterAnother favorite and great work or weekend top. It is a layered-looking sweater with the cutest back detail. I’m wearing a size small.

Open Stitched Sleeve SweaterI loved the color of this sweater but I’m not sure how practical it is just because the sleeves do have small holes in them so it seemed like more of a Spring sweater than a Fall sweater to me. Nonetheless if it’s still warm where you are this sweater is so darn cute! Note: it also comes in grey! I’m wearing a size small.

Mock Neck Tunic SweaterThis camel tunic is insta famous and for good reason! It’s SO good + long enough to wear with leggings. It runs true to size but if you want a more fitted look, size up one for a more oversized fit. I’m wearing the XS here but would have preferred the small.

Leopard Print Puffer VestIf you own a lot of black and brown, this cute puffer jacket is the perfect accessory to tie the two together. It is not the heaviest puffer which I personally appreciated. It runs true to size. I’m wearing an XS regular. If you plan on wearing a thicker sweaters underneath, I’d size up. Also, I wouldn’t get petite as it’s already on the shorter side.

Mosaic Tie Waist ShirtdressGreat for the office or family pictures. The balloon sleeve detail adds a little something different. My only complaint with this dress is that the sleeves were a little long on me. If in between sizes, size down. I’m wearing an XS here but probably would have done the XSP.

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Anemone ShirtdressLoved this dress so much. The fact that it’s made out of cotton, buttons down and has a big enough pattern to not be overbearing were all selling factors. It runs true to size. Wearing a size XS.

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Dotted Pleated Bow Neck TopThis little bow top comes in pink and white. I boght both. It’s always so hard to find these types of tops and they seriously never go out of style. They are my favorite to layer under blazers and cardigans for the office. Runs true to size.

Herringbone Modern BlazerThe elbow patches on this blazer are what sold me! It is somewhat of a boxier fit but does run true to size. I would not suggest petite sizing. I got a 0 regular.

Slim PantsIf you need a black work pant I loved these because they have some stretch to them and weren’t too tight in the calves. Size down! I’m wearing a 00P.

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Striped Utility BlouseWhile this wasn’t my favorite top by any means, it is a good basic and just $25! Great for work or weekend wear and would be super cute under a military vest or jacket. I do not suggest getting petite.

 Dotted Ruffle Henley ShellIf you get one top, get this one! Great for Work or weekend wear. Wear to work with a colored cardigan or blazer.

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Marled Sweater: This exact sweater is not online so I linked an even better one!

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Swiss Dot Ruffle Utility BlouseAnother great basic, office appropriate blouse with a dot detailing and cute sleeve detailing.

Diamond Jacquard Knit Pocket SkirtLove the pattern and amount of stretch of this skirt. Definitely size down as it runs very big. I needed an XXSP.

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Abstract Fringe SweaterHow fun is this sweater? It does run on the smaller side. I am wearing a size small.

Modern Skinny Jeans in SagebrushIf you are in need of a non-distressed olive pair of jeans, these are a great quality pair. While I normally size down in LOFT jeans, these run on the smaller side so I suggest getting your true size.

Loft + Abercrombie Try On Session

Lou & Grey Seamed Poncho SweaterTop seller for the blog already. Super soft tunic that is long enough for leggings and easily paired over a long sleeve tee or a little more warmth. I plan to wear with leggings and boots.

 I’d link the leggings but they honestly suck. BUT if you are looking for some good ones, I suggest these.

ABERCROMBIE


Waffle Romper: Ok so probably not that practical because who sleeps with a hood full of sherpa but how cute would this be for Christmas morning or pictures?! The answer is very cute. It runs on the smaller side so if in between sizes, size up. It also comes in a cute paisley color.

Flannel shirt: Run true to size. I’m wearing an XS. These are my number one pick for Christmas pajamas and I highly anticipate them selling out.

Flannel Pants: Run true to size. I’m wearing an XS. They have a working drawstring waist. They are a thin flannel so don’t worry about them being too hot.

Flannel shorts: Run true to size. I’m wearing an XS. They have a working drawstring waist.

Cozy graphic tee: Abercrombie calls this a tee. It’s more like a super soft, thin sweatshirt. It’s good y’all. Runs true to size.

Flannel shorts: Run true to size. I’m wearing an XS. They have a working drawstring waist.

Cozy graphic tee: Abercrombie calls this a tee. It’s more like a super soft, thin sweatshirt. It’s good y’all. Runs true to size.

Flannel joggers: If you hate wearing long pajamas that always end up like shorts in the middle of the night, these are great and not too heavy!

May Top Ten

**CLICK AN IMAGE TO SHOP THE ITEM DIRECTLY**

How are we already half way through the year?! Time is seriously flying and I can’t believe I am coming up on my one year “non-workiversary”. September will make an entire year that I have been blogging full time and it still blows my mind that I get to do something that I love every day.

Continuing on with the monthly top favorites, or the most purchased items by all of YOU, it is no surprise that we have some “repeat offenders”. Several of May’s top selling items were top sellers for previous months as well such as the Gucci belt dupe, Abercrombie overalls, and my tried and true Levi jeans that just so happen to be 50% off!

And as a reminder on how I obtain the monthly top ten data…

I use an affiliate program called rewardStyle. This means that if you click on any link- whether it be from my Instagram or blog- that takes you to a product page on a retailer’s site and rewardStyle is able to track that it originated from me. Some affiliate programs will pay the influencer for every click that they generate from their site. RewardStyle pays per purchase made. This means that if you click on one of my links and then end up purchasing that item, I will get a small commission (usually between 7-12%).  Many bloggers use this same program as part of their revenue source.

Because I use this service I do have access to data analytics. This means I can track what items are clicked on and purchased. I cannot see who clicked on them or what other items might have been purchased. For example, if you click on my Abercrombie shorts link and then purchase a swimsuit and a top in the same transaction, I will only be able to see that a purchase was made and that the shorts link is how you got to the retailer’s site.

These analytics are incredibly important to me because it allows me to see what all of you are liking. At the end of the day, this little blog business of mine is meant to be a resource for all of you so having the ability to track and measure each product’s success is invaluable. Coming from a Finance background, I tend to geek out over the analytics side of it as I find it incredibly intriguing what all of you are liking, buying and clicking on the most! It gets my gears turning because I genuinely want to bring you products that you are going to love and want to buy (at the right price point of course)!

Like I mentioned, this little blog is a full time business for me which means I am so appreciative when you choose to click and shop through my links – whether that be on Instagram or the blog. I have poured everything I have into being a resource for all of you so that hopefully it makes your life a little bit easier. I know that shopping through my links is an extra step for you, but please know it makes all the difference to me. It is how I am able to continue sharing great deals, try on sessions, and everything else. O and it allows me to pay my bills 🙂

All of that is to say, shopping through my links does not cost you anything additional (the item is the same price), the retailer will just pay me a small cut since I am the one that referred you. Please know I am so thankful when you choose to shop through my links and give me credit for helping you score a great find!

Now presenting… May Top Ten!


This jumpsuit was by far the number one seller! Perfect for any Spring/Summer events, especially for a more casual wedding attire. It has a detachable halter strap and pockets! Fits true to size but if you have a bigger chest I would size up.

This criss cross back tank and jeans both made the monthly top ten! The tank is now marked down to just $16 and makes the perfect Summer date night look. It runs true to size (wearing an XS). The jeans are currently 50% off making them just $45 and they also run true to size (wearing a 25).

This little top and shorts combo also made the top ten and probably got the most wear from my closet! I found myself reaching for this tank more than I thought that I would! I’ve worn it with jean shorts, white pants and even tied up with a skirt. It’s also under $25 and runs true to size (wearing a 25). The linen shorts come in 7 colors, are SO comfortable and are currently on sale for just $23.

Y’all must be buying entire outfits this month because again these overalls and watermelon tee were in the top ten! The watermelon tee is one of my favorite Summer staples from last year and is just $10! Make sure to size up. The overalls run true to size (wearing an XS) + come in 4 colors.

Y’all loved this swimsuit that is a designer dupe for this $300 one! I suggest sizing up as it does run a little small length wise.

This little tank has been on repeat! I own it in 5 out of the 7 colors and wear it almost daily. I love tucking or tying it up with shorts or wearing it under overalls. If you plan on drying it, size up!

These matching swimsuits were a HUGE hit and for good reason! They are relatively cheap and super cute. I love the knot detail. They run true to size (wearing an XS in both) but if you have boobs or a butt at all I would suggest sizing up.

And last but not least is the Gucci belt dupe that has been a top seller for 6 months now and is constantly going in and out of stock. Click here for the small Gucci belt dupe and here for the large one!

I have the medium wash in a 24 and the light wash in a 25. I am normally a true 25. The tie front shirt was a close second for top sellers in March and runs true to size.
