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.

    The bag is such a fun piece to add to the grey – Looks lovely & very eye-catching. Also adore the suede hair bow. Tres chic!

    Nice idea but those pants are waay to tight. Even skinny jeans shouldn’t have that much ruching.

  • Anna

    GREAT look! Especially love the pink lipstick, hair and jewelry accents. I would’ve worn a [pastel or gold] belt, but you totally rock this outfit without it.

    Your layered jewellery looks so lovely. And the little hair tie is such a nice detail!

    I love the idea of a head-to-toe color coordinated look- in 1 color. This is simple and casual. Perfect for our overcast weather.

    Beautiful outfit! Gray is such a COLORFUL color. Your hair tie is so cute…I like it even more because it’s leather. Leather is probably my favorite material ever.

    I’ve been contemplating colour blocking for some time though but in bolder shades – red, yellow, blue … but I had never considered grey and I absolutely adore this idea! Just gorgeous. Love how they are such versatile entities separately too!
