Spring '09 TREND: Grey

Grey has been around for more than a few seasons, and it looks like it still has a lot of steam for seasons to come. Could this be a defining color of the decade? I think so.
Personally, I adore grey. It's edgy, yet neutral. It can be very flattering, and goes with absolutely everything. I love mixing it with other neutrals, such as a nice caramel toned leather belt or tan fabric. Or else you can spice it up with a pop of boldly bright color such as chartreuse, orange, or magenta. In this way, grey can actually allow you to be brave with your color choices without being the loudest person in the room. Bonus!
In terms of jewelry, of course silver looks great, but I get a nice buzz off of mixing gold and brass tones on my grey. Top it off with a touch of diamante and I'm flying high!
Well, I was beginning to think that all the grey in my wardrobe was because I was starting to look like my cat. But unless everyone else in the fashionworld wants to look like my cat, I think I can blame designers for this one. Phew!

I love the grey this season, especially with a little pop of bright color, like a grass green or orange or magenta.

I think no matter what, though, Mingus is always in style!

I guess I lucked out when I bought grey yarn for your dress. With the pattern made to your dimensions it is coming along nicely but slowly. I should finish the back in a day or two.
