by BlogHer and Loft.
I readily turned myself over to the stylist, Hailey, telling her that I wanted to break out of my “Mom Jeans,” and, having recently lost twenty pounds, I wanted to show off my newfound figure. She encouraged me to try on pieces that I never would have considered on my own,
and got me into my first pair of “Skinny Jeans,” which were two sizes smaller than the jeans I was sportin’ last May. Woo-hoo!
We were presented with a Style Challenge, which was really fun and filled me with fantasies of fancy parties and cocktails after work.For the first ensemble, called “Look Pretty At Every Party,” Hailey dressed me in a fabulous little black dress that showed off my arms and made it even more fabulous by adorning me with a chunky gold necklace and bracelet cuff. I felt quite glamorous.
For the “Perfect Desk-To-Dinner Look,” she paired classic gray wool trousers with a black, rose-covered cardigan, glistening with rhinestone buttons, that left me feeling elegant and feminine.
Finally, for the pièce de résistance, “Have a Perfectly Casual Holiday,” I found myself in a pair of rinse-wash modern skinny jeans, fitted black ruffled jacket and sequined lined cami. At this point, I was feeling young and chic and ready to go out on the town.
Before I could go out on the town, however, I had some decisions to make. I loved all of the choices that Hailey had presented, but I’m practical by nature, so had to really think about which clothes would fit with my current lifestyle. That’s when Loft Sales Associate Kristen swooped in. She recognized that, these days, I’m more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal, so while she convinced me to keep the rose-adorned cardigan for those days when I need something extra special, we decided I’d wear it with the skinny jeans, and, to be on the safe side, I got a pair of tulip wash boot cut jeans as well.
She spent the next couple of hours showering me with comfortable yet flattering camis and tees, and, by the time I closed the place down, I felt like I’d been shopping with one of my very best girlfriends. I came home with a flattering new collection of tops that were casual enough for every day wear, but each containing elements that make me feel extra special and pretty.
Thank you to everyone involved. I had a wonderful time getting to be Queen for a Day.
