Girls in relationships wear grey. This was the the topic of discussion between friends I took part in a while back. Apparently there is something about being in a relationship that casts a magic spell on women all around and makes them give up their otherwise loved brights for this less attention seeking neutral. Or so my friends were saying. I said I never wear grey. Yet apparently I do because here I am in grey, and I can assure you I am in no way in (or near being in) a relationship (with anything other than food that is). Does that count?
As much as I love my bright colours, I have to admit that sometimes it is nice to fall back to a comfortable neutral that isn’t as bright as white or as dark as black, but a happy medium between the two. Grey is practical, timeless, and sophisticated. It is also incredibly versatile. While it can be paired with an entire spectrum of colours, I chose to stick with shades of grey and black, and add just a pop of colour with cherry red accents. Although it wasn’t my original intent, I felt very Blair Waldorf in this outfit, minus the headband of course!
With Valentines Day (AKA Singles Awareness day) quickly approaching, perhaps this is my own personal statement to single women around… let’s take back the grey!
