I was looking for a jacket similar in color to the J Crew Denim Jacket in Ecru and found one at Loft. I also found a similar jumpsuit from the J Crew Drapey Crepe Jumpsuit. Take a look below.
~ Linen Cotton Denim Jacket in Antique White, Medium ~
My store sold out of the Denim Jacket in Ecru Wash pretty quickly, especially in my size Medium, and I knew I wanted to take it with me on my trip this week. (I’m in San Deigo right now.) I looked online at Loft because Gigi had posted a Gold Linen Tee on her Facebook page last week. While I was searching for the tee, I found this jacket.
The material is a linen-cotton blend and much thinner than the denim jacket. I actually prefer than as it is very lightweight and I may be able to wear it through June, barring 100 degree temps. I am usually a Small/Medium in Loft so I chose the Medium since I thought the sleeves might be cut a little tight. The Medium was a great fit and the same size as the J Crew version.
~ Linen Drawstring Pants, White, Small ~
I saw these in white and blue and decided to try the white to have something to go with the linen tees I grabbed. The Small was just a tiny bit snug until I moved around a little. I think they would stretch a little more throughout the day so I would stick with that size. The Medium would have been a better fit in the hips but very loose in waist. The length was really long on me, even “in heels” (left pic) so it would need to be hemmed.
There was also a wide-leg version, without the drawstring that came in White and Green. I would probably go with that version since I have a cropped drawstring linen pant from J Crew.
~ Fluid Sleeveless Jumpsuit, Black, size 6 ~
Had I known Loft had a jumpsuit like this I would have passed on the J Crew version. There are two differences. 1) This has a drawstring and elastic waist. 2) The ankle has elastic. The inseam is 26 1/2 inches and this time I can tell that is correct.
I liked the ankle hiked up a bit and because of the elastic, they stayed that way when I moved around. The size 6 was a great fit. I would have been swimming in the size 8. Maybe a Petite 8 would be good too but I really liked the fit of the 6. I was able to get the J Crew jumpsuit for 30% off before it was excluded from the promos but the Loft is a much better deal at $89.50 plus 40% off. And it’s just as cute!
I missed out on the 50% off everything sale early last week but still bought the jacket at 40% off. Much much less than the J Crew jacket.
