LOFT Floral Top Meets Vintage Ann Taylor

I picked up this bright floral top last week and couldn't wait to break it out. Thankfully there are colors like deep purple and burnt sienna in the pattern, making it easier to incorporate into a cold-weather ensemble.

Cardigan: J.Crew sz XS

Floral Blouse: LOFT sz XXSP (similar here)

Wool Pencil Skirt: Ann Taylor vintage sz 2, altered

Suede Booties: Adrienne Vittadini "Adam" (buy here on sale)

I know a few other petite bloggers have this blouse, but had trouble finding the posts. If you've blogged about this blouse, please feel free to leave a link to your post in the comments below!

While at LOFT last week, I actually fell in love with something (rare). The stretchy knit "scuba" material is back in the form of a cropped blazer with 3/4 length sleeves. I love the versatile caramel color. Unlike other LOFT blazers I've tried on...the fit was near-perfect on me (I prefer the sleeves folded up in a cuff) and just look at the flattering, fitted back view!

I also gravitated toward a lightweight button-up blouse in a light dusty lavender (not shown). My size was already gone so I tried on this pink color, which I'm not a fan of at all. I included these photos only to show how narrow the shoulders are and how slim the overall fit is. The sleeves were also a perfect length on me. This would look great tucked in and is a feminine alternative to stuffier button-up dress shirts.

The color I want (dusty lavender) is in-stores but not yet online!

I will be keeping an eye out for both items when the next big LOFT sale hits!

Readers - do you also love adding florals and brights to beat the winter blues?
