I have a wish list ready, but haven't gone yet.

I thought this might be my long lost sweater dress, but ugh, 50% acrylic

I'm really digging their knitwear:

Another thing I would love to see Jean try: http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....pe=Regular

I think the red-headed model looks outstanding in that color. It's very different from the usual autumnal color palette, but that's why I think color seasons are nonsense!

Maya, I saw the color block tunic in the store last week with the zippers and immediately thought of you.

Ooh, this looks very exciting! I have hardly shopped there in the past few years - same situation as Gap, and it looks that they are both back at the same time. Looking forward to checking the store out again, especially the knits.

Angie, has their sizing changed too or they still run very big? I used to need XXS there in most tops/knits which was only available online.

Tanya, I was wondering the same thing. I'd like to go during the gathering next Saturday so I guess we can check then? I really want to try those sweaters. I can't stop thinking about them...

OH, would love to go there at the gathering Maya! Great idea!

I gotta fess up. I work at LOFT too. A fact you would figure out fairly quickly were I ever to manage to post a picture. Sigh. So glad you are all loving the new looks. Our store has been really busy this past week. You may want to check out the boots too. They're 30% off through Labor Day.

Yay Stylemama! Now you can give us the inside scoop along with Taylor. So glad that your stuff is moving. You guys deserve this. I'm really impressed with your products at the moment.

Tanya, it depends on the product. I chose to stick with the XS for my knitwear because I need the length. And these items are not tailored so the fit was fine. I tried the XXS in the one item and that also fit well - but I lost length. And you know I CANNOT wear petites :(.

Maya and Anne, the knitwear is looking outstanding and the blouses are good layering pieces too.

Thank you for the info Angie! Yeah, I can wear petites even less than you with my long upper body. I guess that XS should work for me as well, which would be great, beacuse I could actually get it in the store.

Oh YAY Stylemama!! !!!

I would LOVE to see your version of LOFT styling...inspiration:)!!!

Fortunately I can wear everything petites..except for full length pants. I have a very long inseam.

additional 40% LOFT sale items online now.

I wish there was 40% off regular priced items...

I really want that kangaroo pocket sweater and the colorblock tunic. But I can't afford both! Agony

Maya,
Stylemama might mean that all full price is 30% off this weekend!! I will check it out for you when I go in to visit on Sun. IF she doesn't get back to this thread

Oh, then I can't wait for the gathering

Is that in store only?

Happy to help clear things up.

30% off boots and shoes - I thought that was online too, but it looks like it may only be in stores. Our store is one that carries shoes (not all do) and we have 30% off shoes/boots this weekend.

OH! And if your LOFT has handbags - most are on sale and then an extra 40% off. Some really beautiful leather bags for $59.99 after the discount.

There is a 30% off all full-price event next weekend - September 11th. It's a really fun day with treats and new music and lots of new product. Our store has been crazy busy for the last 2 style events and with the amazing fall clothes I expect we'll be the same this time. We are opening early to accommodate so many shoppers, so you may want to see if the LOFT near you is doing the same - or shop online.

Thanks for the encouragement to share my style, Taylor. I'll do my best to get some pix up. I'm 40, so my looks aren't exactly like what we show online. And I know what you mean about leaving with a stack of clothes after each shift. Spring and summer were pretty manageable, but this fall I'm tempted at every turn.

We will be doubly inspired by your ATL looks at 40, Stylemama :). Thanks for the info!

We will definitely be hitting the Loft in NYC on the 11th . An excellent place to start the YLF gathering festivities.

This tunic is calling my name...I am going to stop by tomorrow What else is Labor day for but for shopping....(okay, eating too)

am i crazy or do some of the tunics look too short to wear with leggings? I really need tunics for leggings for fall.

I love that dolman sweater too. Didn't see anything about washing requirements--is this dry clean only?

do you think some of the sale items are not worth my time due to the quality issues? i like this tank for layering

Another fan of the Dolman sweater here. Melllls, your first link goes to the sweater, not tank you were mentioning.

I just bought that Dolman jumper in grey. (I linked to it earlier). It's amazing! It's far too short to wear with leggings at 5ft 6, but you might get away with it if you are petite.

Kelly, I;ll hand wash mine in my machine.

I'm petite! That dolman sweater looks like it would work for me with leggings but the others on the site look too short even for me.

Tanya, this is the tank I meant to link to.

Love that tank! It is my favorite from all the three sale items you linked too.

I have this tank in charcoal...no quality issues at all:)

It looks like good fabric and the ruffles seem good quality ruffles (I've had issues with some ruffled items at Loft before). I'll check it out in the store.

Edit: Just saw your post, Taylor, thanks for the info!! Will def. check it out tomorrow then

A YLF gathering on the same day as a 30% off sale? It is meant to be! Thanks Stylemama. Can't wait to go!

Can't wait to see what you guys get at the Loft! I'm also loving the dolman sleeve sweater. Hm, need to check out my local Loft next weekend...

I've always avoided LOFT like the plague, but while I'm in Atlanta I'll definitely check it out! Can't wait...

I found about a billion items there when I was in yesterday. Most of them were full price, so I'm going to wait until next weekend for the 30% off event. I'm having an especially hard time resisting jackets, which is silly because I have way too many jackets and nothing to wear under them. I need to focus my attention on layering pieces. But there are just so many great jackets and cardigans.

I have been trying really hard to avoid this thread because I'm not supposed to be buying anything, but I can't resist anymore. I am so tempted by so many items posted here! Aaah!

Loft prices are already really good - add a coupon and you are set!

My apologies to those on a shopping ban.
