How to Beat Grey Skies?
Throw on a grey dress and spice it up. I know, it’s the holiday season and we’re supposed to be focused on reds, greens, and blues. The boots are red. And, hear me out, grey looks can be festive. Take this vintage dress (from one of my faves Bloomers and Frocks) that feels modern. Grey isn’t gloomy or bland, it’s the back drop for red (those boots!) and edge (that jacket!), yet a statement on its own.

Watch the details. The pleats in this skirt are perfect for business, yet scream fun. Red boots? Sassy, great with skirts/dresses/jeans, and they add a bit of cheer. I also love how high these boots go, don’t let it scare you, let them inspire you (and maybe, occasionally, give your black boots the night off). We haven’t chatted about what makes an “investment piece” in a while, but loves, let me tell you, a great leather jacket is one. Leather jackets edge up any look while remaining classic. Wear your with everything from work dresses to jeans. Grey doesn’t have to be a background player, but with the right details, it can stand out and let details shine. How are your skies doing?

Embrace them. I love the elements of this outfit; and on their own they’re amazing. This combo is perfect for work, play, or anything in between. It will be great in January, when the parties are over and you need some cheering. (Tell me boots like these wouldn’t make you smile in the middle of any winter day.) Wear a dress like this with any shoe from sneakers to heels to more boots. Live in your leather jacket. Let red boots make any outfit pop. Grey is one of my favorite colors (see here,
here, and here) and while grey skies can often mean storms; I think using grey to turn the tables and make an amazing outfit is the way to beat almost anything.
