Most of us became familiar with the brand when it was available at LOFT (it still is by the way), but as I told you a couple of weeks ago, Lou and Grey now has a handful of stand alone stores. As I understand it, the line became so popular at LOFT (and developed such loyal customers – a bit of a cult following actually) that it proved itself as a brand and made the stand alone stores and website possible. While at Northpark last month, I checked out one of those free standing stores for the first time and absolutely loved it. The overall vibe of the clothes and the store is just cool!
If you aren’t familiar with Lou and Grey, here’s what you need to know.
It’s all about laid back style. It’s big on comfort, while still remaining chic.
It’s basically lounge wear that can be (and should be!) worn outside of the house.
In my first trip to the store, I picked up THIS shirt.
And I LOVE and ADORE it.
It’s so easy to throw on and look put together immediately!
I’ve already worn it twice, and I have no doubt it’s going to be one of those items I reach for again and again. It’s a great cut (loose without being baggy), and I love the windowpane print.
The first time I wore it I paired it with distressed jeans, booties, and my favorite turquoise necklace
for a pop of color!

earrings/ arrow necklace / similar jeans ON SALE / watch / buckle booties c/o UGG, but also available at Nordstrom HERE
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the top, so I think it’s true to size.
And my booties? Well, they are new and I love them SO MUCH!
Next week you will get an entire post dedicated to them!

The next time I wore the shirt, I switched up my jewelry and my bag.
I wore it with THIS necklace, THESE earrings, and carried my favorite leather tote (remember to use the code PTMTSAVE10 for 10% OFF your order).

No judgement here. I totally get that. When you find something you love and that works with your body, buy ’em up!
How great would this particular one be with white jeans!!!!
And it also comes in white, olive (also awesome with white jeans), and dark indigo.
I’m seriously tempted to get this light chambray and the olive. Good for now and well into the summer on cool summer evenings!
Loving THIS soft dark chambray one (with fantastic reviews)!
And check out THIS gingham!
They also have a Signature Soft line that people go bonkers over.
THIS tunic is from that line.
The site describes it as a cross between a cashmere sweater and a sweatshirt.
SIGN. ME. UP.
And THIS cardigan is right up my alley.
Also available in grey HERE.
Shipping is FREE (no minimums!), and you can click HERE to read their return policy.
If you haven’t checked out their site, you really need to do so HERE.
You will start to get a feel for their laid back vibe, and you will seriously feel relaxed just looking at the pictures. But fair warning, you’ll want to put on nothing but cozy clothes and just lay around.
😉
And just fyi, this post was not sponsored, I just wanted to share Lou and Grey with y’all!
And for no other reason than I can’t help myself, here are some sale items I threw
together into an outfit.
/ v neck / cardigan / jeans / booties /
earrings / gorjana bar pendent / fringe bag

I've never bought or even heard of Lou and Grey before, but I just bought that chambray shirt. I think you're right and it will look awesome with white jeans!
Katie says
Okay! I need that shirt in olive! And I wanted to deliver a PSA on those vigoss jeans… On your rec I ordered them weeks, possibly months, ago and love them! I went to order them again… I wear them on the daily… But the new ones have some serious wiskering:( now if you're into that then you'll love them but it was a bit much for me and I had to return them;( when I was retuning the sales girl said if I like vigoss I may like the sts blue ( I think that's the name) have you tried? If so, thoughts??

I love Lou & Grey so much!!!

I have several Lou & Grey items and love them. I just got this one in the mail on Friday and it is very soft. I tried it on with dark jeans, booties and a black leather jacket and also with white jeans and it is so cute. I got it in a small and with a little front tuck it is fine although I am going to run in to the store and try on the extra small also. http://www.loft.com/lou-&-grey-printblock-signaturesoft-top/386336?skuId=19809229&defaultColor=6406&colorExplode=false&catid=cat1880002
I also have the cream tunic with grey stripes that has a little cowl neck. I have the first edition they came out with and it is different than the one they have now. It is not as flowy and is cut different on the sides. It is very cute with black leggings and cognac boots. I ordered a small and it fits true to size. I have seen the newer one in the store and it is much bigger and would need to be sized down and would still be very flowy.

Mary Deckert says
I bought the grey and cream stripe tunic at Loft and love it. So soft. I finally broke down and ordered the MustHave graphite leggings to wear with the tunic ~ those, along with my grey Uggs and I feel like I'm walking around in public in my pj's!
Sheaffer ~ would you please ask the ladies at Accessory Concierge for a special Valentine's promo code? 🙂

Super cute things!! If you had to pick just one of the Joanna earrings – would you get the thinner hoop or the sundrop one you linked to today? My birthday is this month and want to "help" Eric. 😉
Sheaffer says
Hey Kim! Hmmmmmm….the thinner hoops are larger, but I really like the simplicity of them. However, if you don't like a really large earring, I would go with the sundrop ones. Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂

Thank you! I love a big earring so I think I'll suggest the thinner ones! 🙂

Long time reader, first time purchaser and commenter:). Just wanted you to know I purchased the Lush must have tunic in black, and am so thrilled I've now been snapping up the other colors as it's been going in and out of stock in small. Got so many compliments on it so far and I just keep sharing that, Pinterest Told Me To! Thanks Sheaffer!
Jeni says
I have 2 pf those Lou and Grey palette shirts (the window pane and bright blue gingham) and I love them both! We have a stand alone store here in DC and I've shopped there ever since it opened. The manager there told me that very soon Lou and Grey will be pulling all of their stuff from Loft and will only sell at their stores and website. Long time reader, first time commenter!!
Kristen says
I adore Lou and Gray and can't even go to northpark without buying something in their cute store! Their Signature Soft collection is to.die.for! I have 2 v-necks and one space dye cowl neck from that line and they are like wearing pajamas!!!! And they wash beautifully!!!!
Caitlin Elisabeth says
