Which is better for work?

The LOFT mini is the easier work pick if your office allows short hemlines, because the solid ponte and long sleeves read more polished. The Kasper midi is longer but its floral print and jersey fabric are casual.

Which is better for summer?

The Kasper. Short sleeves and light jersey breathe better than ponte, and the midi length gives sun coverage without heat.

The LOFT ponte is the heavier knit and should hold shape better over repeated washes. Jersey like the Kasper tends to stretch and pill sooner.

Is the Kasper worth the extra $0.71?

Yes, if you want a print, a midi length or petite and plus sizing. The price gap is trivial and the Kasper's rating is much higher.

Does the LOFT come in plus or petite?

No. The LOFT listing is regular sizing only. The Kasper covers regular, petite and plus.

Which is better for a wedding guest?

Neither is a strong fit. The Kasper midi is the closer option, but its jersey fabric and casual styling suit daytime events more than formal ones.
