Happy Monday y’all! I’m feeling extra cheery after an amazing trip down to Texas to visit one of my best friends from law school. We explored, we ate, we shopped and we danced our way through San Antonio and Austin – but more on our adventures later this week.

Bold and bright was the name of the game this past weekend. And since the Texan approach is to go big or go home, I pulled out my most intense hues: electric blue, neon yellow and a touch of turquoise. It’s a color combo that’s guaranteed to jumpstart your week.

Let’s be real: I’m usually the kind of girl that prioritizes comfort over appearance. At any given time, I’ve got a pair of leopard flats in my bag and a couple of booties under my desk. I love wearing heels, but I think the person who invented them is the devil. Add the fact that it’s Wednesday, and I can probably guarantee you that my waistline involves a bit of elastic.

So I haven’t really painted a good picture of myself, but I promise there’s a moral to this story. It used to be that style and comfort were mutually exclusive, but a LOFT’s newly reimagined lounge wear begs to different as it branches off into its own identity known as Lou & Grey.
I scooped up a few new pieces from the line (including this sweater, moto jacket and tee dress) and I can’t tell you how obsessed I am with them. Dressing up on Wednesdays just got a whole lot easier.
