My LOFT List

I was in the Springfield area dropping off some clothing I don't need anymore (more on that later) and decided to head to the mall there. I had never been, and I thought I'd creep on their Limited and see what else they have. I mean, I drove the 45 minutes out there, I might as well stay awhile!

I stepped into the mall forgetting that they had recently opened a White House/Black Market, Francesca's, and a LOFT. Not only that, but they are soon to open an H & M! Yikes. Can you say trouble?? So of course I had to check everything out ;)

I walked into LOFT and pretty much wanted everything. It's definitely my kind of style, with lots of great sweaters, feminine tops, and gorgeous jewelry. I tried on some things even though I knew it wasn't a good idea (because then I might buy it). I was regretting it, because I really wanted a few things but couldn't let myself do it.... I am very proud of myself and you should be too, because there was a sweater that absolutely screamed my name. I'm still a little heartbroken about it. Here's my favs from yesterday:

These are the Modern Skinny Velvet pants in "Snow Tiger". They fit like a glove and were so comfortable! Not to mention cute. I was trying realllly hard to justify these.

This dress for the "Live in Pink" collection with Giuliana Rancic and some of the proceeds go to breast cancer. Don't need a pink dress, but it was so adorable!

Sequin pink skirt for the "Live in Pink" collection. Both the dress and skirt are no longer available online even though when I looked yesterday after I got home they were on there! They sold fast for obvious reasons.

Cute sweatshirt tee (so comfy) with a feminine touch.

Here it is folks, the Hanna top. It also came in a solid taupe color, but I couldn't get enough of these stripes. SO FREAKIN CUTE I COULD DIE.

That striped bow sweater was in my hand for quite some time before I finally triumphed over my shopping addiction and left. I could've cried. I showed Nick of course because I wanted to let him know how proud of me he should be for not buying these things and then put a little bug in his ear that I wouldn't mind this for a Christmas present. In the meantime, I'm going to be stalking the site in case it goes on sale, or just in case I come into some extra money all of a sudden and can just buy it :) Here's hoping!

Basically I decided that Springfield's mall is much better than Champaign's and I know where I will be doing my Christmas shopping! Here's hoping that H & M opens soon so I can "start shopping early"... for myself.... :)
