Just got back from New York and like always when I get home from this beautiful city, I feel inspired. There's just something about the way a New Yorker throws herself together that exudes character and confidence. And yet after this trip, it's not a boot or a handbag that stood out to me as a must. On this trip, it was the colours that came out on top from the classic neutrals to the pop-brights (see yesterday's post) that stood out like yellow cabs against the concrete. But while I'll always love black, my go-to neutral this fall and winter will be about quiet, subtle but sublimely sophisticated grey.
New York It-chicks sailed through the city this week in all shades of grey, worn most strikingly from head-to-toe, acting a lot like urban camo against the backdrop of sidewalks, buildings and the grey fall skies. And while you'd think all grey would be boring, it's surprisingly not. The NYC secret? Mix up shades of grey in loads of different textures to achieve wardrobe 'grey'tness.
If this hasn't been played out too much already (and even if it has), I've rounded up 50 of my fav grey finds. Mix these picks up with abandon and you'll look urban in all the right ways for fall, even if you've yet to set foot in NYC...
