WIW: No longer grumpy gray.

First day I have gotten out of my lounge track pants (in several days). Our gray days are getting to me. I had to include the grumpy image. I'm trying to break out of a mood.

White jeans, rolled
Black booties
Black long tube top
Silver/Gray cardi
Wide silver cuff
AND Frown. And Smile.

Okay. I feel better! Thanks for any comments.

I love gray as well...even better when someone spells it the way I do;-). You look great, so it was worth the effort today. Seriously love the silver cuff!

Your grumpy is hip, casual chic and adorable. You wear high contrast well with your dark specs. Rock on.

Grumpy Hip! That's a new phrase

I love your booties. I have some a little like that - Aerosoles. What kind are yours?

Feeling your weather pain...and definitely not trusting this warm teaser Mother Nature just sent us. Those BF style jeans look super on you. And that longline cardi is a gorgeous shade of grey. Love the cuff, too. Wearing jewellery just for ourselves at home is a terrific pick me up. I'm feeling very envious of your chic cosy as I sit here in my office-dress-code-manual hosiery!

I love the silver cuff. Sorry about your grey weather and mood. The neutral colors are chic and the long cardi looks cozy.

What a great cosy combo. It is hard in late winter when it feels like it has been gloomy for ages.
I love the colours and the pieces. Do you wear socks under the ankle boots? I think socks poking out the top might be fun...even scrunched ones in grey?

...a little less grumpy this afternoon. Thank you for all the kind words!

merwoman: Many thanks. And the sun is starting to come out so it is brightening my mood.

carter: Yes. Worth the effort. It helped my mood for sure. Thanks. The cuff was my mothers. So very special to wear it!

crutcher: Thanks! The gray is becoming less grumpy with a little sun!

Angie: Oh. I like. I like. "Your grumpy is hip, casual chic and adorable. You wear high contrast well with your dark specs." The day is looking much much better with these kind words.

rachylou: Grumpy Hip - that's hilarious. I dated several of these before I met my Happy Hip Husband. I do have some bootie love for these. They are: Kenneth Cole. Just had to look.

Aliona: I didn't even know these were BF style jeans when I bought them. And pulling them out of spring storage made me realize...hey, I do have some BF jeans. Thanks for the comments!

SaraL.: Thank you. Cuffs and neutrals give me a lot of pleasure.

Keturah: Just missed your comment. Many thanks. And guess what color lipstick I'm wearing?? Yup. Deep, rich, wonderful, plum. Okay, this is the only color I wear except nude in the cooler months.

AM - I WONDERED if that was really what I saw in those photos! I almost said, "Don't be grumpy! Just put on a plum lipstick!"

Harumpf. I'm sending you all my plum lipsticks. I actually have 3... I know, I know. I had this obsession with 1920s and the Great Gatsby movie when it came out in 2013. In fact, I wore cream, put feathers in my hair, and threw on a plum lipstick to watch the move in the theater. (Yes, I wore plum lipstick in public. It had gold shimmer in it too!)

Kiwigal: Great suggestion...socks poking out, scrunched ones in grey. Love it. Thanks.

Keturah: Wow. With gold shimmer?? And you're not rocking this look? Shame. A damn shame.

What a stunning cuff! And I love (and envy) the way your specs allow you to wear the high contrast. I also used to use my specs for that purpose but had surgery and now do not need to wear them (except for reading in dim light). I think I need a "fashion" pair! :0

Aww, don't be grumpy, we think you're fab! Glad you're starting to feel brighter now. I always feel shell shocked myself at the end of Feb and into March, Winter plays havoc with my mood too.

You look a million dollars as usual in your outfit. I really like the long drapey cardigan an the way you repeat the black of the top with your boots. It's very cohesive.

Diane G: You are too kind. And my mood has vastly improved. I like the idea that this is cohesive. Many thanks.

Firecracker: Thanks. I'll take adorable grump. And smiling a lot more today with the sun shining.

Joy: Yes. Wearing this bracelet does make me smile. I have visions of using it for a RATE look and that makes me laugh because my mother was always polished.

Debbie: Thanks. You'll see me in gray for spring and summer.

jackiec: Thanks. Smiling today. Sun is shining. I feel spring is fairly certain...just not soon enough. But smiling.
