Just like yellow and grey pair up nicely, so does gold and grey.
When it’s cold and grey on the outside, I’ll be wearing gold and grey on the inside. Flecks of gold are my rebellion against the dreary winter weather. A few weeks ago, I wrote about gold, wearing more gold, loving gold, longing for it… you get the drift. I’ve always been a fan of the color. At the flea market, I found this sparkly gold sweater which was crying to be worn as a dress.
While gold has a reputation for being gaudy… I really don’t think that it has to be, nor do I think it should only be brought out for parties. Personally, I’d wear a gold dress in the day, if it’s toned down just right. Just like yellow and grey pair up nicely, so does gold and grey. Grey will tone down any gaudiness and gold will brighten up grey’s boring tendencies (even though I absolutely love grey). And of course, I’m all about casual red lipstick... to add a bit of color to the whole ensemble.

I love this outfit! It sucks that the weather is still so bleary but at least it’s milder than it was a month ago! Might I ask which flea market you frequent?
Loving the color combination and the gray blazer! Hot legs mama!!!
Yes! This is a great outfit!!!
A truly fabulous ensemble, and a combination I never would’ve thought of as someone who doesn’t gravitate towards gold. The red lips are the perfect finishing touch.
I love gray and gold- just asmuch as I love gray and yellow:-)
Great combo! Looks amazing on you, Jennine x
thank you so much for your lovely comments! it’s been a while since i posted an outfit, so i may be a little rusty.
❤ edith…oh i go to the frankfurt flea market every other weekend. whenever it’s by the Main… that is. if you come out, let me know!
Love it! Grey and Gold is a great combo! That red lipstick looks great on you.
xoxo, Shelly
You look great! I absolutely love this color combination. The belt and the lipstick are like icing on the cake
Gorgeous! I’ve been really into grey lately, as well. A few months ago, I have NOTHING grey in my closet; & now it’s clearly dominating everything else. :]
i love this outfit! the gold jumper looks awesome with all the grey. your boots are cute too!

I’m really loving this color combination…in fact, I may have to try this today!
aside from your ensemble (which is lovely), your hair has really really grown! And you’ve inspired me to purchase a tube of red lipstick this weekend. I have large lips and I’ve always worn neutrals (like brown) and stayed away from reds and pinks. But hey, I figure…what the hell.
Ah!!! Love everything about this outfit.
Ooh it all looks fabulous.
Tell me about the *shoes*! I want!
❤ shelley… red is the oldest color in my lipstick drawer!
❤ apricot… grey has a funny way of doing that. i go through spurts, but i think it’s more suited to my skin tone than black, which can be harsh sometimes.
❤ ginger…oh that’s awesome, i’m sure the red will be amazing on you! full red lips are the best. i wish mine were fuller.
❤ shelley… red is the oldest color in my lipsick drawer!
❤ apricot… grey has a funny way of doing that. i go through spurts, but i think it’s more sutied to my skintone than black, which can be harsh sometimes.
❤ j… the booties are from steve madden, i got them on clearance two years ago… which turned out to be a good buy.
cute! Love the color mixes!
Love this outfit! Great colour-mix. The gold really highlights all the shades of gray.
I am in awe, this is so brilliant!
Such a good colour combo… really prevents the gold from becoming to bling bling…
I love this look. I think that wearing gold during the winter is very inspired. Fabulous flea market find, by the way!
ohh funny, yesterday I wore a grey wool dress and a gold jacket..!!
I adore the colour palette of this outfit. The red lipstick looks lovely with it.
I definitely veer to the darker colors when it’s cold & nasty outside. I don’t think I manage to look as nearly as fabulous as you in this grey & yellow.
Btw, the typepad link has been taken by someone else-I’m at http://into-thefray.com/blog now. FYI!
You look great!
it’s always the most unexpected color combination that make me the proudest.
I absolutely LOVEEE your belt
It’s so stylish, your look is awesome!

Glendy

So this is the best blog post in the whole world. WHY? Because I LOVE GOLD! AND, I LOVE GRAY! I mean, love them so much. I named my shop Dear GOLDEN! and the background of my shop is GRAY! I am happy to see I am not the only one that adores this fantastic color combination!
I also adore gold — it just makes me feel warm and vibrant. I never considered the combo of gold and grey — I’m going to try this!!
I’m a little behind in my blog reading so I’ve only just seen this outfit. I love it - its perfect - the long grey scarf, the colour combination, the red lipstick. All perfect!
what a great ensemble, love the combo, as the shoes are fantastic
LOVE the way the gray and gold play off each other and the shoes look fantastic with the tights.
