If there's one style motto I live by, it's "Dress for comfort." And that's what Lou&Grey is all about. Whenever I go into my favorite stores I take time to touch each piece of fabric — feel the weight and texture of it between my fingers to make sure that tee shirt or pair of pants will be comfortable and help me feel my best. Last week I stopped by my go-to Lou&Grey at One Pasadena to pick out some new summer pieces (their Garment Dye collection is amazing!). Every time I shop there, I am always blown away by the beautiful interior, super-soft textiles, and friendly salespeople. And did I mention how cute the dressing rooms are?

While I love the warmer weather, I don't always love summer clothing. I'm just not the biggest fan of shorts, and when the temperature climbs into the 90s (or even 100s), I usually end up feeling uncomfortable in anything I wear....until I found these two beautiful linen pieces from Lou&Grey's Garment Dye collection. The answer to staying comfortable AND on-trend this season is these Linen Pants and Shadowstripe Double V Top. I love how monochrome, lightweight, and simple this look is — both pieces look amazing together, and each can be dressed up or down with simple accessories. For a casual day in the desert, I wore this look with a a couple layered necklaces and a pair of mules. Simple and comfy as it gets. And here are a couple other of my favorite pieces from the collection: The Tie-Up Blouse and Softstretch Linen Pants.
