grey, grey, grey, orange, grey....
I needed another dose of colour today- everything is soooo grey and dark and colourless right now (though a little bit of rain added a nice atmospheric mood to it all). I reached into the closet today and what came out in my hands was the orange Reed shirtdress- so be it! I'd wanted to try it out with a grey floral cardigan for awhile, since my current outdoor wear is a grey coat with orange floral scarf!

Anyway, the blast of colour was noted by several colleagues in the dull concrete modernism I inhabit weekdays!
Um, then I broke my 'sorta shopping ban' to go to Value Village and found just the right black A-line skirt I've been looking for forever (having purchased far too many 'fails' that I thought I would tailor to the right cut), a bright yellow pencil skirt, and an adorable vintage bracelet watch (that I may just wear, since I can't even feel it on...). Ah, and I finally found a sage/mint-ish t-shirt too! and a tan striped shirt, because I'm sure I need it...that's all of 20$ of happiness right there ;)
I really like the bright color and tone done cardi combo. It complements each other perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of orange and grey! The weather has perked up a bit here in TO over the last few days, hope it does for you too...
ReplyDeleteThe dress does not seem too short to me...and solid color tights can forgive a bit of the length problem. You had a productive trip to Value Village...I'm shopping a yellow skirt, but I'm thinking more of a mustard color.
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid combo. This is really nice. I love the bright orange color. And the Cardigan is beautiful. Nice finds :) I wish I had such good luck. I am glad that you are able to do amazing things with your wardrobe. I think you are a true Clothing genius! Have a good evening :)
ReplyDeleteNice colors! I really like the black/gray with the orange. I agree with Terrie - the dress doesn't seem too short at all. I like the length. Hope you are having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove that you combined the gray and the red...those two colors always look great together. Lovely watch as well :)

You look great! I love the Reed's classic shape and I love how the saturated orangey red can shine with the pretty but neutral pairings.
ReplyDeleteI passed on that dress and honestly have been kicking myself over that decision. It's such a versatile piece! Speaking of versatile I gave you a versatile blogger award!
ReplyDeleteaw, sweet!! I'm sure at one point there will be a switcheroo, as some of the 1000's of Reed owners sell them off for new anthro stuff (heh...not me, I have a terrible time divesting myself of wearables!)
