I haven't done a fitting room post for a long time because I never have time when I am shopping. It's always so busy and I'm always in a rush.  But yesterday, I had a few minutes and thought I'd pop into Loft and try a few things on for you! I'll start with some newer items and then work my way on to the sale items.
The only thing I bought from Loft is this cropped scuba jacket in camel. I had to special order it in a 00P from a different store because my Loft didn't carry any petite jackets in this style. I had been watching it online but even at full price ($128), it was sold out right away in petite sizes which surprised me!  Jean twit pic'd it awhile ago and it fit her really well so it should fit me. It's currently on sale for $94.99 plus 40% off for a total of around $56. Still a bit spendy for this blazer but I love the color and the cropped style. Below is the tag for reference. The SA said there are still 00P's available in other states.
So I walked out of the mall with only one Loft blazer (on order) and one F21 ring...not bad right? I held back! YAY! Making progress :)


***I added a bunch of petite-friendly items to my blog sale (finally). So please stop by and check it out. A lot of stuff is new and most of it has been only worn once or twice. I have tons of great accessories too! If you are looking for nice skirt suits, I have a TON of them for dirt cheap.  I will be adding more today:) Shop HERE! And make sure to click to the other pages on the very bottom to see more items.***

Just a quick and short post to let you know what I have bought recently online.  I keep telling myself to stop shopping but I just can't seem to get to that point....yet. LOL The sales are just too good!

Yes the day is here....!!! Meet my new Chanel beige flap purse :)
I am SO thrilled to reveal my new baby.... I fell in love with this because it's a cross between a WOC and a classic flap handbag. I knew ideally, I would never wear a WOC across my body (just not me) and wanted something smaller than my classic medium flap (in black). I called every Chanel Boutique in America and everyone was sold out. Luckily Niemen Marcus was able to track down the last one in Florida. I have been wanting a beige colored Chanel for awhile now but this color is very difficult to find.
My new baby is from the 2010/2011 Cruise collection. I LOVE the fact that it looks like a regular classic flap but when you open it up, it's like a mini purse/wallet. And it's not as pricey as my medium double flap which retails for $3400.

***Anita, hopefully you will read this- I am so sorry I didn't see your comment and the porcini belt is already sold BUT I have the perfect skinny lizard belt in pumice stone in XS avail (regular store and genuine leather). Megz- I have an extra BR gray dress in 00P for you- please email me for details:) ***

Oh boy, I really went overboard this past weekend! I am still recovering from yesterday. I don't even know where to start, there is so much to share! Let's start with Banana Republic factory.
I was elated when I spotted the gray version of the famous BR tweed dress in 00P hanging there waiting for me to buy it. I didn't even try it on because it's exactly the same dress as the tweed so I knew it only needed the hem to be taken up. I don't know why it looks like there is a sheen to the fabric in the picture but it's a very pretty gray in person. I will be taking up the hem on this dress for sure.
I also found this navy blue dress with a cute ruffle front detail but they didn't have 00P so I ended up calling to place an order from a different store. Here is what the 0P looks like so just imagine it more fitted. The material is not all that great, but I love these type of dresses and I can see myself wearing a blazer or cardi over it with a belt. Let me know if anyone needs the tag. Shipping is $5 from outlet to your home- not bad considering outlets are usually far away. I was able to get it for $40 (60% off).
I also tried on this tweed skirt suit but the skirt was a bit big and the jacket wasn't cheap enough for me to pull the trigger but it fit really nicely. And it's actually super cute (better in person). I'll wait for a bigger sale and hope I can track down a 00P.
Next up is LOFT factory. I found this super cute red velvet blazer in 00P on major clearance. I have nothing like it in my wardrobe so I figured, what the heck. I'll make it work somehow. I can always wear it as a jacket too. I picked up an extra one if anyone is interested for $25 plus exact ship.
I also scored some accessories that are NOT outlet quality. I found out that it actually shipped from a regular LOFT store this past weekend so I bought a ton of them (possibly for future giveaway) and also will have some up for grabs.
I am sure you all have heard the madness about the infamous Ann Taylor chiffon ruffle shell and the petal front ruffle shell when Jean tweeted about it on Saturday. I have been waiting for this since last year! When Kelly introduced the petal front shell, I was too late and only found the XSP in the same color but it was WAY too big so it got returned. I have been wanting this forever! So a HUGE thanks to Jean for letting us all know. I think every petite has picked this up via phone. I ordered every color (I got 6 colors except blk) immediately via phone except for black. And picked up the petal front shell in both winter white and pink. I happened to spot the black chiffon front ruffle tank at my local AT factory in an XXSP and was thrilled. It is super pretty in person so I bought that too. You can never have too many shells and it's PERFECT for me because I wear blazers and cardigans everyday to work and always am in need of pretty shells to go underneath.
I also picked up these 3 belts in XS.  The snakeskin is genuine leather, the purple and porcini are not BUT they do hold up really well and you can't even tell they are not real leather.  My gray one I got back in Winter has been holding up really nicely.  I was so pumped when I saw the matching porcini belt that goes with my AT pumps so I couldn't resist. These are the only belts that somewhat fit w/out having to punch holes.
On the way back from the outlet stores, I stopped at Ann Taylor regular store and found the "genuine" leather porcini patent skinny belt on sale for $12!!!! It's a small but it actually is about the same size as the XS factory belt. (Kelly found this out too in her recent post). So now I have an extra porcini in XS if anyone is interested or else I will return it.
And I picked up this cute super TINY and petite friendly red/orangish blazer in size 2 at H & M. This color scares me because it's so bold but the fit is so nice and it's a cropped style which I love and is very petite friendly:) Look how nice the sleeves  and everything fit..love it!

I scored a really nice leather wallet at Barney's for $25 (I won't bore you with pictures but it's so soft and pretty) and hubby scored an Italian leather briefcase (reg. $1000) for $275. It actually came from the Barney's store just 2 days ago. And he treated himself to 3 suits (Brioni- reg. $5000- on sale for $350) and 2 pairs of Italian shoes at Saks outlet.

Yes, I am still on the hunt for some flat leather boots. Nothing seems to be right. I have tried Banana Republic suede boots and even Cole Haan leather riding boots (on major sale in brown/black) and neither worked out. The Cole Haan liberty boots never made it to a post because it just wasn't even worth it- way to masculine and heavy for me. So on a whim, I decided to test these Steve Madden boots out for size.

Anyone hitting the outlet's for President's day weekend? Here are a some sales and coupons: (these are the stores I will be hitting up)
