When the Loft is having
such good sales, I feel like I’ve hit the clothing jackpot. This Dress is a newer arrival and I got it for 50% off.
There for awhile I wasn’t fixing much at the Loft but wow, they are nailing it lately and I am loving my purchases, many to take me right into Spring and most even discounted more at 60-70% off.
The Karen Scott booties form Macy's are so comfy, come in 4 colors and are on sale right now for under $35!

Best of luck with your last day of work!! Your reveal of the house and how you're decorating is going to be amazing!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteEeeeek! Enjoy your last day! You earned a little R&R, though I am sure you will keep yourself plenty busy. Woohooooo! I am so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteAhh I hate the dentist so much! I need to go to the dentist soon too. Good luck on your last day of work!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss your post on announcing your leaving your job after 18 years ??? I'm heading there now to read Monday's post ! Congratulations :) I have a fear of going to the dentist and I'd need to take a valum to survive a root canal. Hang in there friend and happy Wednesday !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you, you might feel a little lost at first when you don't have to rush off to work but you sure are going to enjoy that coffee. :)
I like that dress and the evening time photos are really nice!
ReplyDeleteYour dress is so fabulous! I love the cut and the colors are so fun! Beautiful lady!!!
ReplyDeleteCleaning the old house is possibly the worst part of the whole process for me. Especially if you are doing it immediately after moving. However, it is nice to give them a clean home to start with. That dress looks beautiful on you!
ReplyDeleteAs always, you look beautiful! I think you're one of the most fashionable people I know! Also, how handsome are all your boys?! Absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteA good Loft find is hard to beat - their sales are SO good! Big yay on your last day and I hope there is no negativity from anyone. HOW could anyone ever say anything like that to someone as kind as you?!
ReplyDeleteI have to pop in there sometime! You always look great in what you wear! Love the colors and the fun sleeves! I read your post about your job, Congrats on your last day!! I bet youll feel a sense of freedom! there are people in this world that can suck the joy out of things, just say to yourself, ' they must be a very unhappy person.'
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!

I hope that you are going to a fabulous Mardi Gras party in that adorable little dress. I'm hot and cold on the Loft. I really like it because it has petites but sometimes their inventory lacks style. Hope you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is amazing on you Andrea!! I just bought a couple of things from their 70% off sale last night (eek--I was supposed to be on a spending diet)

Your booties are adorable. They work with both pants and skirts. Great find.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, that dress looks so much more amazing on you than the model! Love it and especially perfect for VDAY! That's right! Keep telling 'em that "you're good"! They can figure it out!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress on you. LOFT can be great when you hit the sales right! Great post and congratulations on leaving your job! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in this print dress and fun booties! Eeekkk! I would be dreading a root canal too :( Enjoy a slower morning and enjoying yourself! Sierra~Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteYay, last day of work! What a dress to celebrate it! Enjoy the you time you will now be having, I know you will make excellent use of it. I am looking forward to the Olympics as well!
ReplyDeleteIm all types of excited for you! I hope your last day of work is the best and I know that excitement over not have to wake up early tomorrow will be wonderful! I would wake up early too, but I can only imagine what it feels like after years of momming and working to wake up with no where to be!

Sometimes Loft can be hit or miss but it’s always awesome when it’s a hit and 50% off! And I seriously can’t wait for the Olympics! It’s always so much fun to watch and root for the USA!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your last day of work! How exciting!! I'm definitely excited for the Olympics, and the Grammy's had some awesome performances. :)

All of that food looks SO good!! That dress looks fantastic on you and I love those booties! :-) Congratulations on it being your last day of work too. You are an amazing lady and you will be great in whatever you do next! xo
ReplyDeleteThinking of you.
ReplyDeleteHands up in praise mode saying: That's right girl, do not give them a day more! It feels so good to walk away that last day but also bittersweet. I remember my last day. I got in my car, almost started to cry, drove straight to get my favorite drink, then had the best night ever. CHEERS!
ReplyDeleteWay to finish out work looking amazing!! Love that fabulous dress! I've been wearing all the sweaters lately too. It's too cold for much else. I need to check out that beef soup! Yum!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY LAST DAY!!!!! WOOHOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove love love that dress! Happy last day of work. Cheers to you my friend 🍾💕
ReplyDeleteFirst, that dress looks beautiful on you! What a great find!
ReplyDeleteSecond, would you believe I never made Shepherd's Pie before? I wonder if my kids would like it?!?
Third, congratulations on your last day of work!
The pink purse ties in so well with the dress and cute booties! I'm so happy that you get to say your final farewell and move on to a happier and brighter future! I'm glad you turned down the consultancy offer for the sake of your own sanity LOL...Yum Shepherd's Pie is so perfect for the cold months! xo Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. The optimism in this post is beyond wonderful. I hope you had a wonderful last day of work and are breathing so easy this evening. Welcome to the next chapter sweet friend! Okay, so I bought that dress, but it looks so much cuter on you. I took it back. I think I'm so "compact" that some of those dresses just look boxy on me. You on the other hand, look like a knock out! I really love the sleeves and the booties are perfect with it. Here's to getting up in the morning, drinking your coffee and discovering whatever the day has to offer. XOXO
ReplyDeleteWell, you sure did go out "in a blaze of glory" in your cute dress and booties. I'm so happy for you. I just ordered two sweaters from The Loft for half price. I've never ordered from them before but hopefully I'll love them. Blessings abundant in the days ahead! Oh, just wanted to tell you that we got and accepted an offer for our old house today. Closing is Feb. 28th. Have mercy, 2 1/2 years later!
ReplyDeleteOh Andrea, I love everything about this post! From that stunning look to those peanut butter cheesecake bars, to your last day at work!! How amazing!!

I'm a Loft girl - how did I miss this dress? So pretty on you. You're looking younger and younger - must be the excitement for your last day of work! I need to call and schedule a crown too - I hate dental work!
ReplyDeleteI just adore your last comment about the future looking brighter than ever! It really is, Andrea and I can't wait to hear more! LOVE the dress from Loft, by the way. It's stunning on you <3

I am so curious about the coffee story haha! I hope you share about it soon! And I'm with you and Loft has been killing it lately. That dress is a great find!

LOFT is my favorite place to shop for all of my work clothes. They have such great pieces, and when they have a sale, you really DO hit the jackpot! Great score on this dress, girl! What a perfect dress to end your working days!! Congratulations again, enjoy this LAST day and I hope you get to sleep in on Monday! Have a great weekend!!

Andrea, you look more relaxed already. Last day...yes!! You will no doubt keep busy. The veg soup looks yummy...that may be lunch today. You always look so cute and find the best buys. My daughter shops at Ann Taylor and Loft for her work clothes too. Don't keep us in suspense too long about the coffee story...you know we all love a good story. The best part of a last day is driving away with the place in your rearview mirror. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe print of this dress is so fun! I love that you're calling it your masquerade dress!

Love your dress! Excited for your new adventure~ I love your bangs, could you tell me how you fix them like that? I try but mine never looks like yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I trim and notch them myself at an angle then just use a straightener on them then brush out and spray. ;-) Xo
DeleteYou look so pretty Andrea! I love Loft, and that dress is just so gorgeous! They have the best sales! Thanks for hosting, and have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you to share more of your house!!
