It’s almost that time of year again. Time to pack up those boxes and head back to campus to endure the infamous walk of shame walk to class, cafeteria food, cute boys in uniform, and a little math problem I like to call “peppermint schnapps + chocolate milk = excellent football game material.” Cheers to that.
If you’re as excited as I am, it’s time to get a jump start and fill up your dresser drawers with some Fall-ish suga – aka the perfect fall wardrobe. Lucky for me, this season (because I’m obsessed with it) gray is the new neutral. Bye bye lint rolling the shiz out of all of my black clothes, right!?! Aren’t you ecstatic?! Gray is such a soft, easy color and goes with absolutely everything under the sun. So instead of running for cover in an end-of-summer sale rack of black, high tail it on over to the grays.
You won’t re-gray it. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Read More »

As we head back to school, the transition back to independence from mom’s home cooking, added to the cold weather and lack of sunshine can lead to a gloomy, grey day. One way to embrace that blue mood is by dressing how you feel, made easy with the rising popularity of the color grey.
Why is grey suddenly the color to wear?
1. Grey is a neutral and goes with EVERYTHING.
2. Only 1 in 5 women look good in black, making grey a softer alternative to our safety color.
So next time you’re out shopping for the perfect LBD, take a chance and try on a Little Grey Dress; if you’re not the lone one out of five, chances are you’ll look better in grey. If you think that grey is a little drab, being a neutral, it’s the perfect supporting star to a bold, bright, colored piece. And with so many options in grey this year there is no reason not to try it on. So put back the black and embrace its softer sibling. Read More »
