Loft Outlet

This just might be my new go to place for chic and reasonably affordable clothing, as I struck gold on my recent shopping trip.
Personally I always steered clear from stores such as Ann Taylor or any big name designer stores because they never carried my size. My bias has since taken a turn, and though most stores still don’t carry extended plus size, this store does have 12 – 16 but you have to keep your eyes open and be persistent because there is a lot to look at.
The store is large and kept clean and organized, while nobody greeted us when we walked it, that’s okay with me because I personally like to get my own feel for a store before I get bombarded with can I help you from the sales clerks, we were soon greeted and asked if we wanted a fitting room set up for us, they were definitely busy
As anyone who is on the shorter side and is packing curves will know, its very hard to find up to date fashions that aren’t going to put you in the poor house and fit well, and on the off chance a store does carry a larger sizes they are normally boxy, less than flattering fashions that leave you feeling like you might as well be wearing a potato sack.
My inner fashionista has emerged and she’s battling the casual yet tasteful style I’ve been sporting for years and is looking to throw a little caution to the wind and have some fun, now that I’ve lost 25+ lbs I’m in need of some new clothes and new sizes so this is the perfect opportunity.
That’s where The Loft excels, as I walked into the store with a bit of trepidation, the front of the store has regular prices (or possibly outlet priced clothing) and toward the back on the right side, there is a very large clearance section and that’s where I soon began finding several tops in XL that were eye catching and sexy, I found several pair of pants that fit, (and ladies they carry sizes 12 through 16 in regular and petite) I decided on a pair of crisp white chinos that fit like a glove and are very flattering to the waist line and so very comfortable too, with that I then spotted a sea green & black halter top to compliment the pants, and I also ended up with a two sweaters, they were marked down so low I had to get them.
In the end I walked out spending under $ 100, not bad, not bad.
So for any ladies or girls out there who’ve been like me and have avoided these stores because they believe they won’t have anything that fits, I’m here to tell you my 5’4 frame and curves found clothes that not only look good, they are comfortable, and you won’t be breaking the bank, with that said I’m already planning my next trip.

Thanks to one of my Unilocal friends I found out I reviewed the wrong Loft. So, if you read my review for the other Loft instead of this one, apply that other review to THIS Loft.

I love this store I have gone in several times and am always asked if I need help or are informed of any specials running in the store every time I go in. The clearance section is awesome I can always find a couple things at a steal! I love all the conservative yet stylish dresses they have I can always find something appropriate for work or family function.

This Loft store itself has very cute stuff however; the customer service recently is lacking professionalism and customer service etiquette. I am a regular loft customer, I have been coming here for a few years now and I always enjoyed coming here and loading up on all the great deals but recently there seems to be a change in their staff and the new staff is not very helpful or nice. The customers who walk in get stared at up and down when they walk in the door and no one ever comes by to ask if you need anything and to top it off if you interrupt their personal conversation that they are having with each other you get a gasp and sigh. I have to agree with the other reviews that the store does have some really good deals but the staff’s customer service needs to improve. I tried discussing this with the new Manager Olivia but with the reply I got from her, it seems she is totally fine with it and doesn’t see there is anything wrong. I do hope that someone from Corporate walks in soon and see’s this so that some order can be taken into place to make this store a more pleasant place to shop for everyone.

On Monday, December 22, I was at this store at the Camarillo outlet. This place has always had good customer service until I over heard a comment from one of the leads. This lead asked a customer if she had a dressing room, the customer responded I speak spanish, and this lead responded «you should learn English so I can help you». I felt so offended. I think if this store wants to maintain good customer service she should learn Spanish and some manners!

Customer service is great here, reps even hand out coupon codes if you are nice! Its does get crowded over the weekend though, beware. There are always good sales and discounts at this location. LOFT outlet is my place for perfectly priced sweaters and cardigans. The dresses and tops are really comfy and conservative as well. The clearance rack is definitely worth going through. I’ve gotten many business separates from here and get complimented all the time.
Cheers!

This is my favorite place to come for professional clothing. You get a lot of really cute blouses, skirts, blazers, pants and shorts all for super affordable prices.
My tip: Always hit the clearance rack first. Everytime I go, I always find so much nice stuff there (additional 60% off) that I often don’t even bother looking at the other stuff. I’ve gotten $ 90 pants for $ 20, blouses that were regularly $ 60 for only $ 12, etc. Love this store.
And for the most part, the employees are really nice and helpful, though not always the most professional. I’ve overheard a lot of loud personal conversations while shopping. But hey, if I wanted a high class experience, the outlet isn’t what first comes to mind anyway.

I like LOFT and the way the clothes fit. This LOFT Outlet I thought was lacking in nicer clothes, they were all very casual and some of them quite frankly were not trendy in accordance with LOFT styling. Maybe that was why they were at the outlet. The store overall was crowded — too many racks and tables it was hard to maneuver through, even though it was just myself and another customer there. The petites section was small. I walked out of this store not buying anything and that is rare for me in in a LOFT or Ann Taylor store.
