Grey Day

Grey is a colour I have been exploring and experimenting with a little lately.  It works beautifully with black and other neutrals, and has that effortless ease about it.

I prefer to wear the darker greys lower on my body and the softer, lighter tones closer to my face as they appear more flattering against my skin tone and eyes.   I was surprised at just how much grey was in my closet when I pulled it all out onto one rack.  While black has my heart, grey is certainly it's friend and I anticipate a little more grey making it way into my daily outfits.

What about you?  Any surprise colours or tones in your closet?  Have you been experimenting with anything new lately... colour, silhouette, etc?

Happy New Year!  

I have just commenced three weeks holiday, and have a long list of jobs to achieve.  Lots of household reorganization, and a little DIY renovation job on my study.

Shopping has been at a minimum with only a couple of intended purchases during the Christmas / New Year sales.  I did splurge a little last week and have a couple of new tops winging their way to me, along with a new pair of harem trousers.  I have loved wearing my harem leggings so much I decided harem 'pants' would be a great addition.

It's high summer here.  I am not a lover of shorts, but there are days when they are just the right thing for a hot summer day.  I find an 'interesting' top is the way to create a look with them that feels more me.  These are the only ones I own and were originally wide leg cropped jeans I thrifted for the repurposing.  

Keeping in real!  Apologies for the washing in the edge of the shot :)

How about you?  Were you tempted by the end of year sales?  And what have you planned for the New Year?  Are you a wardrobe DIYer?
