Just like three or four shades, not 50. I didn't actually bother to read that series, though I did let a few girlfriends (and one French guy) read salacious passages to me aloud many times this past summer (a few times on a train home from the Hamptons). Man, I miss warm weather...
What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, grey! So much grey. As a fashion blogger, I think I'm supposed to be trumpeting how great a "pop of color" feels on a dark, dreary day, but uhm... No. I love wearing layers of black and grey when the skies do the same.

Urban Outfitters hat / Madewell sweater / James Jeans (similar) / Zara coat (old) / Steve Madden booties / Ray-Ban sunglasses / Les Petites handbag
This outfit basically breaks down like a checklist of my favorite things this winter. I purchased this boxy-body narrow-sleeved sweater from Madewell in December - for the specific purpose of being cozy on my long flight back to Seattle over the holidays. Then this weird thing happened where I have barely taken if off since.
Also in the mix are these little booties from Steve Madden. The stacked heel is sensible without being awkward, and let's be real: black suede goes with everything. Again, hardly take them off. The jeans are my ultimate favorite James Jeans (Icon) moto jeans from last year that have become part of my uniform, which is sort of unexpected with such a trendy style, am I right? But the fit of pretty much every pair of James Jeans is so good I can't help it.

Lastly, the hat. I picked up this cozy little treasure at that faux-hipster haven we call Urban Outfitters. And can I tell you something? Their mens accessories are amazing. I picked up this beanie for $15 on my way home from work when it was snowing the other night, and again (again) I hardly take it off now.
Dressed in all these dark colors and a knit beanie I feel much more like one of those cool downtown girls I see in Soho everyday than my usual "prep-clectic" self. I kinda dig it. What do you think?

Ha ha ha, I hear you on the "pop of colour" but grey is definitely my favourite neutral to wear. It's such a chic colour and I always feel good wearing it. Love all of your different shades going on here!
