Gray Day
Sophistique Noir’s theme for March is gray.
I don’t wear a lot of gray dresses but I do own a surprising number of gray accessories. And I just painted my kitchen gray!
Here is a recent gray outfit — “You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!” ~ Dolly Parton
I love my herringbone gray spats.
And these gray tights.
And my favorite gray book (at the moment).
Book: Love Goes to Buildings on Fire
Shoes: Very old Fluevogs
Spats: Ashes and Empires
Tights: Target
Dress: Eileen Fisher
Gray Shirt: Target
Gray arm warmers: I don’t have a clue
Bonus Song: Sisters of Mercy cover of Dolly Parton’s Jolene. I really like this cover. Fun fact — Andrew Eldritch and company started playing it as way to mock and confound their audience.

Great song, great shoes. 🙂
Thanks!
You look grayt. How is that book?
The book is pretty good.
oh i like that song!! and your photos look so different – i like!
xoxo Thanks!
Omg, I haven’t heard that song in years (like, since I owned a record player — I had it on some ancient bootleg vinyl in college ;-). Great tune. And, of course, great outfit!
That sounds like a good vinyl collection. I actually just bought a record player and am slowly rebuilding my collection.
Excellent! You explored the theme from just about every possible point of view. 🙂 Those shoes are THE BEST, and I’m totally with you on the tights.
I didn’t realize until I went to put my gray outfit together that I don’t own a single pair of gray arm warmers. 😦 This makes me sad.
Thanks for hosting another great event. Your blog is over the top. I’m totally buying your outfit book when you publish one.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my post :). It’s always amusing and interesting to read your blog, you have always something important or fun to say. Thanks for the song! I saw the Sisters on a concert in november last year, it was awesome! The spats and armwarmers are great!!
Aww. Thanks! I love your blog too. Your photography is amazing by the way.
Will you send the spats to me if I give you my address??? 😉 I’m in love with them!
Maybe we can swap for your Straitjacket!
I love the shoes! Too bad they never have any cool shoes in my size (43, that would be US11?). I’d buy these right away!
You must check out eBay. They always have lots of Fluvogs in all sizes. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=fluevog+11&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Ooh, the spats/tights combo here is simply to die for! Love, love love!
Thanks! I wear them way more than I thought I would.
Love how cozy those tights look! And the ‘vogs! Love! Thanks for the trip down memory lane with the music. When I adopted my cat, she came with the name Jolene. Funny.
I had no idea this cover existed, nice pull.
Thanks Captain!
I have to admit, I was pretty confused when I heard that cover the first time. That doesn’t make it any less fabulous, though.
Perfect grey outfit. Perfect way to dress up perfect shoes. I firmly intend to invest in a pair of Fluevogs as soon as I can ditch the starving student lifestyle.
Aww, thanks! Ebay is hit or miss with Fluevogs, but I have found some really good deals.
