Loft Finds You’ll Love For Summer + Try-On Reviews
Summer is just around the corner and it’s already getting hot where I live! Summer comes early for us here in the south, along with the heat and humidity. When summer is in full swing, I reach for pieces that are light and airy, keeping me cool in the hot summer temps.
Since I used my Loft credit card for our hotel stays and dining on our recent Southwest road trip, I earned a few rewards to use at Loft. I went to Loft to shop for a few pieces for my closet and to get a few ideas for the upcoming summer capsule wardrobes. If you love to shop at Loft or Ann Taylor, I highly recommend the Loft Mastercard credit card! It has the same benefits as their Stylerewards program, but you also receive more points earned with every purchase, a larger birthday reward, free shipping and points earned on gas, grocery stores and other retailers. I have had the Loft Mastercard credit card for a couple of years now and I am very pleased with the card, plus I love getting free/discounts on their clothes that I wouldn’t get with other credit cards!
For size reference, my height is 5’9″, I weigh approximately 175 lbs and am “midsize”. For tops, I typically wear a size Large (12), depending on the brand and fit of the top. For bottoms, my normal size is a 12 OR a 31 waist, a 10-inch high rise fits my waist the best and a 28 inch inseam comes to my ankle. My shoe size is 9 medium or 40EU.

The shoes I’m wearing are the Comfortiva Rainer Flat in my Spring Capsule Wardrobe. They are so comfortable and I can easily walk in them all day! I have worn them so many times and I love them!
When I saw this Eyelet Pleated Bubble Top (size Medium) and Eyelet Midi Skirt (size Medium) on the rack I just had to try them on! Since they are the same color and style, you can wear them together as a matching set or wear them separately with other pieces in your closet! See them styled below with other pieces I tried on in the fitting room. The store didn’t have a size large in either of these pieces, so I tried the medium in both. The medium was a bit snug on me, but the large probably would have fit well since it is my usual size.
SHOP THE OUTFIT:
I tried on the Eyelet Pleated Bubble Top (size Medium) from above with these Cuffed Shorts in “fresh ivy” (size 12). The shorts fit perfectly and I bought them! I also bought the black color in these shorts (see the try-on picture below). The top was a bit snug in the medium size as I noted above. The color of the olive shorts online have a yellow tint to them. The true color is a beautiful olive green, shown below in my photo.

Here is the Eyelet Midi Skirt (size Medium) with this Textured Boatneck Sweater Tank in “white” (size Medium). The sleeveless sweater fit great, but the skirt was a bit tight (see my sizing notes in the first photo above)

I love the color and pattern on this Paisley Pleated Yoke Mixed Media Top in “precious sapphire” (size Medium). I’m wearing the Cuffed Shorts in “black” (size 12). The top is so soft and the blue color is lovely. I didn’t need this top for my capsule wardrobe, but I do recommend it! I bought the shorts for my summer capsule wardrobe!
SHOP THE OUTFIT:
This Palm Bubble Sleeve Blouse in “fresh ivy” (sized down to a Small) is so beautiful and I love the style and color/pattern! Since it is a peasant style top, it is slightly wide so I recommend sizing down one size. The fabric feels light and airy and will be perfect for the summer temperatures!
SHOP THE outfit:
Here are the Cuffed Shorts in “black” (size 12) along with this Modern Wedge Tee in “fresh ivy” (size Medium). The olive color tone of this tee is more of a true olive than the yellow tone as it appears online. I bought these shorts and tee and they will be in my summer capsule wardrobe!
SHOP THE outfit:
This is another sleeveless sweater, the Scalloped Pointelle Sweater Tank Top in “white” (size Large). This one seems to run a tad on the smaller size, so I tried on the Large and it fit great. I love the scallop design and the ribbed neckline along with the scalloped trim on the arm openings and hemline! I would have bought this one, but I already purchased this Sleeveless Open-Stitch Sweater in “sea salt” from Old Navy. I’m also wearing the Cuffed Shorts in “fresh ivy” (size 12).
SHOP THE outfit:
This Dotted Bubble Sleeve Blouse in “popcorn” (size Medium) is similar to the olive pattern one I tried on above. The material is so soft on this one! This top would be perfect to wear to work by itself, layered underneath a cardigan or blazer, with pants or skirt, plus would look great casually with shorts or jeans. I love the style of these Pull On Straight Pants in Linen Blend in “black” (size Medium)! They have an elastic waist and are full length, so they are elevated enough to wear them everyday and to work. I would have purchased these pants, but I have a similar pair ordered on the way from Quince.
SHOP THE outfit:
I love wearing basics that are a bit more elevated, especially a tee! This Ribbed Scoop Neck Tee in “sweet dreams” (size Large) is just that! It has a scoop neckline and the sleeves and silouette of the tee are fitted from the stretchy soft knit material. Since this top is a bit more fitted than your regular tee, I sized up to a Large and it fit perfectly with just a bit of room to spare. This tee also comes in other colors! I would have bought this tee, but I already bought a blue puff sleeve for my capsule wardrobe. I really like this tee, so I may wind up buying it too! I’m also wearing the Cuffed Shorts in “black” (size 12).
SHOP THE outfit:
Lastly, I saw this Lace Flutter Button Top in “white” (size Medium) on the rack and just had to try it on! The lace yoke and sleeves give a feminine look and the material on this top is so soft! I’m also wearing the Cuffed Shorts in “fresh ivy” (size 12).

Thank YOU, Leanne! LOFT has always been my go-to place to shop and these are some cute pieces. 😊 I love how you’ve curated them all for the warmer weather! I’m in the sunny South too and we’ve already been experiencing some Summer 🌞 like weather. 😎
Being from the South means dressing for the hot and humidity, while looking stylish! I’m glad you like the post! 😀❤️
Love the last white lacy blouse you tried on last. It would go with anything! I would have added it to my capsule. So pretty!
I’m glad to hear that Madge! Have a wonderful day! 😀❤️
