Polka Dot Wellies

April 2, 2014

It’s not often that I get excited about rain, especially when it falls on the weekend … all weekend long. But I’m trying to cut down on my weather whining and put two positive spins on last weekend’s storms. First: Rain is better than snow. Second: I got to take my new rain boots out for a spin.
They’re an instant pick me up. Even on a gloomy weekend like last week’s, I couldn’t help but smile at the darling polka dot print. Now, I’m not saying I’m thrilled about the rain forecasted for the rest of the week, but at least I’m prepared to splash through puddles in style.

Creature of Comfort

March 19, 2014

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.
