Two Shades of Gray

January 29, 2015

DSC_0214 DSC_0338 DSC_0177DSC_0172Jacket: Loft (similar)| Blouse: Ann Taylor (similar) | Cords: Loft (similar)| Shoes: Sam Edelman | Brooches: Anthropologie (old) | Bracelet: Nordstrom (old) | Lip gloss: Giorgio Armani color 519  | Lipliner: NARS color Rosebud

These gray pants are super straight forward, but I still find them challenging to wear. Maybe it’s the texture of the cords, but they just seem drab. To give them a little flair, I added this sweater jacket and blouse to compliment the neutral color palette. Aren’t these bug pens adorably sweet?! I love them and don’t wear them nearly enough.

This weekend I’m going antiquing with my bestie at the Puyallup Antique & Collectible Show. We went in November and are excited to see what’s new. On Sunday, my husband and I are hosting a small Super Bowl party for our family. Happy weekend!

    I like this look! It is a mix of PNW casual and good lines to look laid back and pulled together. Not to mention that I love gray. Enjoy antiquing!

    I love the gold shoes to accent the grey. Grey reminds me of silver but the gold shoes make the grey pop 🙂

      Thanks Syah. Grey reminds me of silver too. I use to have a pair of silver flats and would have probably worn those, but the gold works too.

        My hubby ended up out there on business last week. I’ve been to Seattle once however I had a sprained ankle and I didn’t get to see much. I hope to return soon, and when I do I’ll definitely let you know. It would be wonderful to meet up! I can’t wait to return to ‘Umi Sake House’, a sushi restaurant I loved in Belltown. 🙂

    Gray is probably one of my favourite colours. Its less mysterious than black but less bright like white. I love how you adorned you jacket with those adorable brooches. So lovely.
