Grayed Out

March 18th, 2013

Ray-Ban Aviators, T by Alexander Wang Top, Handmade Leather Hair Tie, Gap Pants, Manolo Blahnik Heels, Vintage Clutch

Every once in a while there’s something appealing about a fussy outfit – with multiple layers, various fabrics and a jangling of jewels wrapped around your wrist. But more often than not, I resort to my uniform – skinny jeans, pointy-toe pumps, a slouchy shirt, aviators, and a sleek ponytail. I love that it doesn’t take much effort in the morning, but that the look allows easy alterations, like wearing one color, from head to toe.

    Chic, Emily. I really like these Gap pants & the aviators bring a little color to the outfit – nice work!

    What a great idea – something I might not have thought of, but now that you say it’s ok…. it’s totally ok.

    Would love to know where you got that flat link bracelet! I’ve been looking for one for a while now.

    Gray is one of my favorite colors, so I really like this outfit, and, since I like pink, too, I like that pink touch for your hair.

    $80.00 for a simple plain grey tee shirt? I don’t mean to be rude, but hellz to the hellz NO! I pick up tee’s by the armful just like this from the Salvation Army and Goodwill for no more than $3.00 each…TOPS! Even if my budget allowed spending like this, I wouldn’t do it. $80.00 could go to a nice meal out in a nice restaurant, plus I would have money left over to get a thrifted tee exactly like this one. I can’t be your only reader who thinks an $80.00 tee is obscene.

    My hubby makes fun of me all the time because I’ll come out in all grey outfits. Seriously, I own far too much grey, and I love it.

    Incredibly cute and sexy in a comfortable, “not trying too hard” kind of way.

    i don’t like this new commenting system at all!

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      Sorry to hear that. Can you elaborate as to why?

  • Jocelyn

    What colour is on your lips? Brand? So nice!

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      It’s Mac “Snob.”

      Jocelyn, I just commented on her lipstick too! It must be a Jocelyn/Jocellyn thing;)

  • Hannah M

    Where is your necklace from? It’s gorgeous!

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      Hey Hannah, One is from XIV Karats in Beverly Hills and my mom made the other one.

    I love the pink lips against the grey outfit!

    Emily, do you have a link or product number for those ray-bans? I love the pink hue, I’ve never seen them before!

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      Hi Doris, Here’s a link to them on ShopBop http://goo.gl/OOhqB

    Are those the new gap skimmers? Or are they a legging jean? Thanks!

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      I’m not sure what they’re called exactly, but I purchased them about a year or so ago. I’m guessing they probably have something similar in store now. Hope this helps.

  • Larissa

    Like Hannah asked, Where is your necklace from? :) Could I get it online?

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      Hi Larissa, I was actually replying to Hannah when you posted this. One is from XIV Karats in Beverly Hills and my mom made the other necklace.

  • Lisa

    Where can I get those Ray Bans?

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      Hey Lisa, Here’s a link http://goo.gl/OOhqB

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      Hey Lisa, They were on ShopBop, but are unfortunately sold out. http://goo.gl/OOhqB You can also search for “Ray-Ban Mirrored Matte Classic Aviator Sunglasses”. Hope this helps!

    looks like you need a good belt to finish that outfit … http://www.suziroher.com/

    How do you feel about your Manolo heels? They’re gorgeous but are they comfortable to walk in?

    • http://cupcakesandcashmere.com/ Emily Schuman

      Hi Jenny, They are actually one of the most comfortable pairs of heels I own. No real break-in time required and I can wear them for an entire day before my feet need a rest.

      • http://stuff-i-love.com/ Jenny @ stuff-i-love.com

        Great to know! Thanks Emily! Now I have one more reason to buy a pair…

  • Charity

    Love your “uniform!” I wear gray a lot and love the simplicity of it and it’s easy to accessorize!
