Ahhh... Gray! What can I say? Gray is such a neutral and flattering color! You can always find a shade that works for your complexion and mix and match it with other neutrals/grays. 

If you're looking for dressing tips/outfit breakdown: I typically like to accentuate my longer legs while not bringing too much focus to my curvier hips and bottom. Dark skinny jeans are a great way to do this. Wearing over the knee boots helps elongate my legs while the mid-length knit cardigan skims my hips visually. 

This outfit was so comfortable and cozy. I wore it for a date with my sweetheart-but it could be worn to the office too. I would even wear it as loungewear around the house if I swapped my suede books for thick knitted socks! 

Is gray a staple in your wardrobe as well? 

What do you like to wear for nights out in the colder seasons?

This look is for that kind of day when you don't feel like leaving your warm, dry house or putting on make up...or even wearing pants, for that matter (because there are just days like that!) All I want is to stay in and not deal with the wet, cold weather. However, you don't always get what you wish for. So I put on this comfortable, loose moto jacket from Lou & Grey and got away with not wearing makeup or doing my hair with this wool hat from H&M. Made facing the world and "adulting" a little better! :)

We've all been victim of a bad bang trim (either self-inflicted or from an over-zealous stylist) or been way overdue for a hair cut. I usually trim my own bangs but recently got them done butchered at my salon and hats became my go-to savior until they started to grow out and not look like a 5 year old attacked me with scissors. Likewise, if you have too much grow out hats chicly hide most hair issues until you have time to get to the salon. 

Minimal Style: 

My style has evolved a lot over the years. I wore almost exclusively vintage and thrift store finds in high school before I started borrowing my college roommates' preppier clothes and developed a more tailored look. My early years in corporate America heavily influenced what I wore: I wanted to be taken seriously, but also have fun and playful looks using [TON of] color. Now, in my late 20s, vintage and color still have a very special place in my heart and wardrobe; however, minimalism and simplicity are very attractive to me. I love being able to grab any of my neutrals and throw together a pulled together look without thinking. It also is very "Northern Californian" to be minimal with your styling and I am happily adapting. Today's outfit is a simple ensemble with lots of style.
