Can't wait to wear my sweaters, and boots...of course by December, I'll be itching to get back into Spring clothes LOL.</p> <p>Those grey boots are a great addition to the cream top and bottom. I also like grey with red, denim etc. Black can be too dark to my eye, unless there are other blacks in the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey/page/2#post-1562077 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:15:10 +0000 Jaime 1562077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey snow princess - it's not that cold there already is it?

I find the taupe grays most challenging in my generally blue-gray wardrobe.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey/page/2#post-1561934 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 18:56:18 +0000 Maude Bird 1561934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this.

How do you feel about all white? I'm not up for it yet, and I'm not sure why...Anyway, I love your boots and I can see a colourful bag working well with them. The Frye site recently featured some shoes that were roughly the same grey as yours, and they paired them with a bright yellow bag...looked awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey/page/2#post-1561920 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 17:58:46 +0000 texstyle 1561920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this Suz - and I have those BR cream jeans so I'm totally copying this when it gets cool enough. :-D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey/page/2#post-1561840 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:03:07 +0000 Carole 1561840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Problem solved...gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey/page/2#post-1561806 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:47:36 +0000 viva 1561806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look -- those booties are so perfect with the all-cream outfit. They have a softness to them that works better than any stronger color would. Grey or gray (I never know which to use anyway!) I love them. (And PS, of course I went straight to the CM site looking for that sweater! There is still a M for any Canadians out there, but none for the US ladies, sadly.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey/page/2#post-1561799 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:38:40 +0000 Angie 1561799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm stealing your jumper with my attack dog Sam.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561792 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:32:06 +0000 Angie 1561792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer Stunning.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561779 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:42:10 +0000 Suz 1561779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I agree with what you are saying. Taupe can be similar at times, which is one reason so many taupe boots/ booties are in suede, I think.&nbsp;</p> <p>My tall grey boots are suede and I agree with you that these short ones are on the taupe side of grey.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for spellcheck, I have stopped arguing with it! </p> <p></p> <p>But also, I'm confused; I always thought GREY was the British (and Canadian English) spelling and GRAY was US.&nbsp;</p> <p>Scratching grey head.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561777 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:37:22 +0000 Anonymous 1561777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I said this in another discussion we were having about gray accessories recently.....I find a lot of plain grey leather can look fake and cheap. Moreso than can happen with black leather. &nbsp;It has a flat quality that looks like paint primer in some leathers.....I don't know , maybe it's just a personal thing, but to me, a grey is best in suede or with some distressing or other textural element. &nbsp;I'm not including your boots in that thought &nbsp;Suz as to me they aren't really gray. Boy, spellcheck does not like our English Canadian spelling of that colour! &nbsp;I have to retype it about 5 times to get it to stick. &nbsp;As for combining grays - &nbsp;I do notice it and have a hard time with it unless the bases are equal. Warm and cool together just don't work to my eye. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561765 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 12:07:32 +0000 Suz 1561765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Lyn said, Diane. You did this expertly and so it's not an issue. The issue seems more acute with grey accessories. My mother, who loved grey bags and shoes, used to complain about the dearth of them between the 80s and the last few years. But I think there is a reason. Grey accessories seem harder to work with than black, cognac, navy, true taupe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561713 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 08:11:51 +0000 lyn67 1561713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, you don't have to care about! Your tonal and color values for that all greys outfit are just perfect!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561711 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 08:09:49 +0000 lyn67 1561711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeay! I think this is one good shoe choice for an white out outfit! Much better (&amp; softer) than a black one for us blondes:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561708 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 08:02:05 +0000 Anonymous 1561708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think you look amazing as usual Suz! </p> <p>Funny, but competing greys didn't bother me one bit when I put this outfit together last week for the challenge. I think of it as combining cream, white and ivory...just all neutrals. I'm not colour blind or anything, so I can see the tonal/colour values...I just didn't care :D</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561690 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 06:11:45 +0000 Maneera 1561690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect!

You saw my pewter loafers and those seem to have no obvious warm or cool tone, making them a foil (haha) for everything! Metallic works so much better if you are mixing but otherwise one grey seems the most comprehensible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561594 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 01:38:28 +0000 Karie 1561594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A perfect example of Angie's advice on wearing only one gray. But I can't bear to think about winter sweaters just yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561570 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 01:02:52 +0000 Marley 1561570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cute Suz - but darn it I don't want to think about winter outfits just yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561565 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 00:58:53 +0000 Anonymous 1561565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really great sweater Suz - and the whole look is made by the boots. &nbsp;I think you're going to be wearing those an awful lot this winter - I know I would &nbsp;They remind me of a pair I have (different brand and higher heel but very same colouring and brownish strap detail) that I can wear with just about every single thing I own. When they were newer and fresher i used to wear them with CM silk shifts and a "matching" distressed brown leather belt . &nbsp;Now they are my beat-up boots:) I love yours. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561562 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 00:56:46 +0000 shedev 1561562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Suz. Those boots are awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561558 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 00:47:59 +0000 Windchime 1561558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea to pair your grey ankle boots with that beautiful cream outfit, Suz! That sweater looks SO warm and soft; there's one small reason to actually look forward to winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561555 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 00:33:20 +0000 Aida 1561555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah yes I know this shade well! It's the only "warm" gray that somewhat works for me (aside from going straight to taupe, which actually works much better). Can be tough though. I tend to use any items in this shade as the "only gray" as you did here; often the "only brown", too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-only-one-grey#post-1561549 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 00:26:03 +0000 Carla 1561549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, this is just the perfect winter white combo! (Thanksgiving outfit, etc!?!?) Also, a brilliant way to incorporate your grey footwear. </p> <p>Angie's post was interesting, but I will eschew the grew (and taupe) footwear for now (even though my F/W capsule is olive and GREY!). That said, my silver shoes ARE workhorses. (It is really all about cognac for me!)</p> <p>And, what Elizabeth said! Though I am into my olive items this week, it is also bare legs and open toe footwear! </p>
