Even though I’ve been working in fashion for over a decade (reporting on trends as well as style), I’ve been in a funk lately. After giving birth to my son last May, my body and style went through some changes, leaving me searching for an updated wardrobe that will flatter my new curves while continuing to work for my small frame 5’0″. My quest ultimately led me to Loft, an old favorite that not only has a solid little section, but is currently enjoying a serious half-yearly sale.
Browsing through the items on sale, I managed to find everything I was looking for: luxurious, trendy but comfortable items that are easy to put on in a pinch. I quickly stocked up on everything, loose pants I could wear it while working from home to look chic straight leg jeans And flattering dresseswho all hit where they’re supposed to on those 5’4″ and under.
Many picks are priced at just $21 (get it?!), while some are over 50% off. I have collected in advance what is already in my basket (yes, this is my second order within days), but if you see something you like, you’ll need to act fast. The best items are already out of stock, so once you spot your size, grab it and check!
Loft Semi-Annual Sale: The Best Petite Clothes
1. A rich mom coat: I have to start my shopping list with a elegant double-breasted coat which I already have in my possession. Not only does it look expensive in person, but it also goes with everything and is surprisingly warm (I say this as someone who lives in upstate New York!) — was $220, now $110!
2. Celebrity-worthy pants: Katie Holmesdo you? After the star went out in satin pants, I was determined to try the trend. This choice to put on is perfect for little ones and comes in wintery shades, like dark green and burgundy – was $85, now $20!
3. Only once: I am the mother of a 7 month old, which means that if I prepare, I do it fast. Lou & Grey’s Long sweater dress is warm but fashionable, and with the addition of fleece tights and Ugg boots, you’ll be dressed in minutes, without sacrificing style — was $95, now $48!
4. Denim Dress: I’m actually surprised that this balloon sleeve denim dress is always in stock. Between the visible seams and the slimming shape, this could easily pass for a designer find (I swear Ganni sells something similar) – was $110, now $55!
5. A cozy and fresh layer: It’s all in the details! The bedazzled collar on this half-zip sweater combines the best of both worlds, elevating even the most basic outfits while keeping you warm – was $80, now $40!
6. Sweet Points: It is difficult to imagine an occasion when this short polka dot lace dress would not be useful. With a blazer, tights and loafers, you could easily wear it to the office, but swap the shoes for red pumps and you’re ready for a formal event — it was $110, now $55!
7. Dearest Horowitz: Live your Distraught dreams with a checked mini skirt. Since it’s made for petite girls, it really hits above the thigh, rather than annoyingly grazing your knees like the other options out there – it was $80, now $40!
8. The “It” jean: If there’s one denim trend that’s taken off in recent months, it’s it straight leg jeansthat fit in all the right places but are roomy enough to move around. While Loft sells a few pairs in small sizes, I prefer the dark wash, which gives these bottoms extra pop – was $90, now $45!
9. Top output: Simple pants with a bold top is an outfit formula that never fails. This transparent and ruffled design people will think you put in a lot of effort, even if you did it in a hurry – it was $65, now $32!
10. The Ultimate Sweats: Trust me when I say this Lou & Grey’s loungewear pants are the best! Thick and luxurious, this comfortable choice makes you feel like you’re dressing up. . . even if your big plans for the day involve working from home – that was $85, now $20!
11. Neutral Bottoms: My entire Instagram feed is full of white winter pants, which isn’t exactly practical for accident-prone people like me. These beige stockings are the best thing to do. When worn with a belt, they’ll instantly revive your old t-shirts, turtlenecks and knits – was $95, now $48.
12. Not Your Average Knitting: Although it’s as easy to put on as your favorite sweater, this possibility features a detailed pattern, double pockets and a fun drawstring at the neck, elevating your entire outfit — was $110, now $55!
13. New must-have: Swap your basic t-shirts for a square-necked stunner which has a bit of texture and some ruching to conceal the midsection – was $55, now $27!
14. Swiftie Style: Maybe it’s THE like a constellation print or the swing silhouette, but this dress seems very Taylor Swift Midnights era. I just know the pop star would wear it with chunky loafers or knee-high boots – it was $100, now $50!
15. Fancy Pants: Faux leather leggings it won’t bunch up at the bottom of your short legs? Add them to cart, STAT — it was $80, now $20!
16. Valentine’s Day: You don’t have to wait until February 14 to release Loft’s floral prints, tie front top. But since the romantic vacation is approaching, it won’t hurt to have your evening outfit already prepared: it was $55, now it’s $20!
17. Seasonal exchange: Tired of your usual winter rotation of jeans and sweats? Add a pair of straight corduroy pants to your collection. The style is timeless and for $20 you’ll have a staple that you can use for years to come – previously $90, now $20!
18. Double duty: This white V-neck cardigan it looks something like Meghan Markle could wear. While it’s easy to layer over your outfit, its slim fit also makes it ideal for solo wear. You’ll be able to tuck it into your pants without added bulk – it was $75, now $37!
