Classic Gray Monday, is it or isnt it?
So gray grrrrayyyy, first of all, I must say that everyone could not not -notice (wow, double negative!) that gray gained a lot of recognition this winter, the palette ranging from the graphite tones to the silvery sparking silvers was all over the runways then stores, yes, dear readers, ALL OVER, can stress this enough, hugh?…anyway, gray will be one of those color trends that sticks around for longer, I can bet it will be back next winter season ( oh no, I know sad to think that winter is coming back). Grey was always considered a classic, but more for "older, less attractive, boring" ladies, but now it got back everything that this "no so flattering" opinion took from it, it is considered elegant, trendy, HOT again! mixes so well with every other color, so why wouldn’t it stay around on top? – it is always good to have grays at hand!
The outfit above is so simple, as simple as gray appears to other colors, the center piece of it is this sweater-scarf-thingy that I snatched at H&M just a couple days ago. I noticed those scarf-sweater-thingies creeping out from magazines, appearing around famous necks, peeking out onto the streets, finally to become more or less wildly available in stores. Since the winter is almost over, they are kind of missing the boat of becoming a big fashion trend in full swing, BUT I bet (even more on this one than the one above) those will come back next winter! yes, I do think I will make use of it again and again, and hopefully again in the winter-y future. I am saying this because I hope winter is almost over and it is not the perfect mood-environment to look at sweaters not to mention stacking up on sweater-scarf-thingies…anyhow, for now it was an instant attention grabber, a lot of people asked about and where I got it and how to wear it etc... I wore it with a ruffled white shirt to make it more office-friendly, but over the weekend I wore it with jeans and a bright lime long-sleeve simple shirt (for contrast – it looked even better). So ladies (I hope there is a few male readers or there will be in the future, but they wont buy this sweater...so that is why I exclaim: “ladies”) go and get yourselves scarf-sweater-thingies as these may be on sale now, you will rock it again next winter season, I almost guarantee it and buying now will save you a couple bucks.
Oh, and did I mention is it super warm and comfy? I was worried it will not keep me warm and that it will be sliding all over the place, but it “sits” in the position you want it to “sit” warming up your shoulders or back or both… any way you “customize it”, okay now I am done, see you next time around!
