Shades of Grey

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

Everyone knows just how essential the black jeans are, and it doesn't even matter what style. Your black jeans can be skinny fit, flare legged, high waisted, wide leg and all are still quite important to building a well rounded wardrobe. Black jeans go with everything but sometimes you want to break free from that tradition and experiment with something a bit more interesting and perhaps a little bit challenging! I'm talking about grey jeans, or the super faded black jeans. Grey jeans have that lived in flair, from the lightest shade of grey to almost charcoal. It's a neutral, just like your black pairs but it adds more interest than by creating a mostly monochrome (similar color blocking) look. Honestly once you learn what works with grey jeans and mix and match several outfits, you will get the hang of it and add it to constant rotation! 

Grey Matter

Lately, I'm having to go from one place to another much more frequently. Good thing about Philadelphia, is that a lot of places are fairly close to each other, but when they aren't, being on your feet can get quite uncomfortable. Sneakers have been my best friends as of late, and surprisingly very versatile. 

Greyed Out

I have a strange way of thinking, I like to refresh and restart seasons by cleansing my color palette and to do so, I tend to start off with neutral colors. Grey is one of the best colors to experiment with, you can mix and match it with dark, bold, bright, soft, intense or light colors and it will not take away from the additives. That's what makes grey such a great base to play with.

The Alternative.

Blazer: Heritage, Blouse: H&M, Pants: Gap, Pumps: Forever21, Jewelry: Forever21 and Pacsun

I think that pastel colored pants are a great alternative to the basic white. Don't get me wrong, I love my white skinnies, but I think this pale pink will be more frequented in rotation this season to try new things with! Pink and neutrals, pink and brights, pink and metallics, pink in monotones, oh the combinations to pair!
