By now, most people have a favorite color and it is usually
their “signature” color. Have you ever gone shopping and thought, “Oh jeez,
what is up with that color? It’s too bright/murky/(fill in the blank with your
choice of complaint)!” This is how I used to feel about gray.
My face when looking at "black" vs. "charcoal" vs. "gray" |
But that was then and this is now. Gray is a hot color for
fall and winter because it echoes those mysterious foggy mornings and the sky
right before it snows. Who doesn't love that? Even if you aren't a cold weather
person, it’s still super fun to curl up by the window with a cup of hot cocoa
and watch the snow fall. It’s kind of like watching raindrop races on the car
window while (preferably) someone else is driving. You know you did that!
Tame to timeless in 2.5 seconds <3 |
What I like about this piece is that it is made up of a
classy mix of charcoal, heather gray, and timeless dark jeans. One could
substitute the black wedges for black slouch boots for a different look! So
much you can do with this outfit and it is made up of dark neutrals. This look
can be very versatile! Is it a little too much neutral? Take a walk on the wild
side and opt with a large print bag of your choice! My personal favorite is
leopard or zebra print.
You're going to hear me roar! |
Speaking of animal print, what makes this next ensemble so
much fun is that it has two different focal points: the vermilion scarf and purse
alongside the black and gray leopard print ballet flats. These jeans in this
outfit are “bootcut”, but the wearer could substitute in some skinny jeans to
echo the famous Audrey Hepburn look. Want to tone it down a little? Opt for a
black scarf instead of the vermilion (:
Silvery and shiny goodness <3 |
This last outfit takes my breath away with how simple and
polished it is, but it is so easy to do. The real tank here is the pair of
boots. It can be the same pair of boots from Outfit #1! That sweater has a nice
little tie to dress it up, but those bangles and earrings really bring it all
together. This look travels really well too! Substitute skinny jeans for some
tights and watch it transform. It is amazing how a pair of earrings and bangles
can make that much of a difference! Fall and winter is all about layering up,
so when let it transcend your closet into your jewelry box. It’s a lot of fun!
