Comfort Is Key

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve grown to value clothes that are comfortable and easy to wear.  Lou & Grey is actually the latest brand from the Ann Taylor / LOFT family and I have grown to love their focus on soft fabrics, comfortable fit, and easygoing styles that make dressing effortless.  The styles are classic, the colors are neutral, and the pieces are made to last season after season.  I fell in love with this drapey cardigan as I’ve been wanting a cozy layering piece for those chilly office days and the instant I put this one on I didn’t want to take it off!

I tried my hand at a little DIY distressing of these jeans the other day and while I like how the shredding turned out, I still need to figure out how to soften up the edges a little bit (they look a little too blunt and straight).  I didn’t get a chance to run these jeans through the wash yet after I did my distressing so here’s hoping that’ll do the trick…  Meanwhile I am newly convinced that paying a little extra for jeans that are nicely distressed already is the way to go!
