Awww! Thanks, Angie. The west coast does agree with me!! Having fun so far! It was an awfully tough year last year and I am feeling much better for being here.
Elizabeth, can't wait to see your version!!
I am happy to report that the outfits worked brilliantly. I was warm and cozy on the way home in my turtleneck and scarf.
Christina, yes, a commitment to a colour palette makes everything cohesive.
Staysfit, thank you. I also struggled to embrace grey at first because Kingston is such a grey town and grey can bring me down. (Vancouver as we all know can also be extremely grey!) I have found that I prefer very light greys and dark charcoals to the mid-toned ones, although in fact I use them all. And brightening with a lot of silver metallics makes it seem much happier to me somehow. I love your idea of associating the colour with natural features you love. I do find that brightening it with some colour is really helpful.
I also like blush and thought I might add a blush complement. Joy does blush so well!! But so far, this is eluding me. Many blush tones are too peachy for me. I need a cool pink, really.
