I have to say I found a bunch of really chic pieces at Loft this week, and they are currently 50% off AND free ship with code CYBER — below, my favorite finds and how I’d style them…
+Denim ruffle collar blouse. SO on-trend! Love layered beneath a ladylike jacket with high-rise trousers (or these). Also like the denim blouse with a fall midi skirt like this, this, or this. (If you need more inspo on how to style an exaggerated collar blouse, check out the street style snaps here.)
+Tapered-leg wool pants. So incredibly chic with burgundy suede or velvet pumps and a smocked-neck blouse and a tweed blazer over the shoulders.
+Quilted vest in burgundy or chartreuse. Perfect for an athleisure morning with coordinating aligns (maroon or copper colored depending, a boxy white or colored LS tee, a cord ballcap, and NB 327s.
+High rise kick crop jeans. These remind me of VB’s Carlys. Pair with a statement blouse like this or sweater like this and a great cord headband.
+Leather clogs. Pair with floaty dresses like this!
+Finally, white blouses with a little extra interest like this or this are great for pairing with your favorite jeans or work pants when you want something easy and chic.
+And, not from Loft, but these two blouses reminded me of Ulla Johnson, and both are under $120!: this moody blue and this golden beauty.

P.P.P.S. In case you need to hear it today: “Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” More of these beautiful and wise words here.
