Shades of Grey






What I'm wearing:
grey Martin + Osa Oversized V-neck sweater
black Aerie ankle zip leggings
grey/black striped Gap jacket
taupe Bensimon Lacet sneakers
leopard Martin + Osa scarf
Martin + Osa double strap headband
blue Marc by Marc Jacobs Faridah bag

It's days like these that always make me want to stock up on my leggings. I found these adorable ankle zip leggings at aerie, they are almost as amazing as the Hue skinny leggings that I'm addicted to. I promise when it stops raining that I will put some real clothes on. =) This outfit is very similar to this one I've worn before. I love this slouchy oversized sweater that allows me to wear leggings as pants.



These Bensimon sneakers were hiding in my closet! I'd completely forgotten that I'd owned them. I am just not a sneaker person, as in the only time I wear sneakers is when I'm working out (which to be honest is not that often). But I think these Lacet ones are very cute, and look casual without looking too frumpy. They do say that these are a French girl's Converses! They were super comfortable all day. In this photo you can also see the ankle zip detail on the leggings.

I decided to add a splash of color with my bag! Thought the electric blue went nicely with the otherwise grey/black/taupe color scheme. I just wasn't drawn to any color this morning! Not to mention I was in a rush and it was much easier to throw this together than to coordinate any other colors.

  2. The Gap coat is awesome. When it rains I also tend to grab my blacks and greys. I love those Bensimon sneakers. I used to live in sneakers and quit them cold turkey for a bit. But a pair like those lovelies I could see for running around town.

  4. Fun scarf and leggings. Are the Bensimons comfy? I need a pair of canvas sneakers and I've been holding out on getting Converse since they're everywhere. Such a pretty blue bag too! I recently sold my MBMJ Teri because I just wasn't using it--I think I like the Faridah shape better.

  6. e. - the Bensimons are pretty comfortable! I mean they aren't like my Nike running shoes with lots of support, but they are reasonably comfortable to wear all day.
