{Outfit Inspiration} Muted Shades

Nevermind that it was 70-degrees two weeks ago. Texas decided to pretend it knows Winter, and we’ve had a few weeks of cold and gray days. Which is fine by me, I want it to be cold in the Winter, and hot in the Summer…none of this in-between business. I typically crave sunshine, but the muted tones of a gray Winter’s day have been a nice change of pace lately.

This outfit contains a multitude of colors, but they are all subdued and roll together seamlessly. It’s not about pairing lavender, chambray, mint and black…but keeping them all in the same hue intensity. A little convoluted maybe, but it works.

I feel so zen after seeing these peaceful interiors! I don’t think I could incorporate such a toned-down look everyday, but occasionally it’s nice to take a break from my normal bag o’ Skittles style.

    Love these colors! We're used to the gray, "blah" days in Indiana. Why didn't you call this outfit your 50 shades of gray outfit? 🙂 Kidding! It's super-cute!

    That skirt is wonderful! I like how you toned down the colors but you played up the textures and patterns.

    That jacket is awesome and pairs perfectly with that skirt. I love navy, it is one of those colors that looks fabulous with everything and is not predictable as gray or black.
