Gray Days

"Your love's got me looking so crazy right now
Got me looking so crazy right now 
Your touch got me looking so crazy right now" -Beyonce
 
 Crazy for charcoal. And slate. And dove. This season's star neutral color comes in "50 shades" so it was only appropriate to quote Queen Bey's "Crazy In Love (Fifty Shades Of Grey Version of course)." As the climate begins to change into a cool, stormy, overcast gray color, I can't help but want to match the weather. Gray is the perfect color for the professional woman, who enjoys her Boss Lady position and needs to have her wardrobe reflect her inner strength, and her immovable willpower that ensures every obstacle will be overcome. Love this little charcoal number, and it's being sold in H&M's trend department for only $49.99! This dress is really everything! The material is actually quite thick and cinches everything into the right place where cinching is needed, while also playing up the illusion of an hourglass silhouette with its strategic frontal stitching. It can be worn with heels or flats, and with a light duster coat or warm winter trench. I love how simplistic this dress is, yet there so much good stuff going on, you just can't stop looking at it. That's what a fantastic sexy, yet demure dress is all about....and I'm def about that life whether rocking it on the street or at werk! Can I get an Amen??!! Lol. I used rose gold accessories (also found at H&M and at amazing price points) as I found the soothing color offsets the darkness of the gray. Black. White. Grey. Nude. Repeat....right?! PREACH! In fact, to stay within those color codes I just had to incorporate a black and white snakeskin clutch for some added dramatic texture, and finished it off with simple nude pumps... cause heaven forbid should I not practice what is being "color scheme" preached ;-)
