mood board: 50 shades of grey

No, not the movie. Although I'm not ashamed to say I will absolutely be seeing it in theaters (any self-respecting human with a libido ought to). But I digress. The color grey has been on my mind a lot lately. Maybe it's the weather, or maybe I'm looker for a softer option than my usual black jeans, but either way, I'm fantasizing about adding some more of this lovely neutral to my closet in the future. 2_5_15_moodboard_grey

Pretty good, right?

Something to note would be the range of grey - from purple grey (like you see above in the boots), to a true grey (in the jeans), to a more beige-y grey (which I didn't add here). If you're doing an entire grey outfit, I'd keep all of the pieces in the same color family, with true grey being a nice go between that pairs nicely with both shades of grey. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, so if you end up finding a winning mix combination, let me know!

I would top this outfit off with a cashmere beanie. Doesn't that sound divine?
