I love gray. For all of you all that reach for black time and time again, gray is simply a softer version of black. Add a few drops of white and there you go: gray. This Spring, be prepared to see gray in ways not typical of the sunny Spring seasons of the past. This is great news for me, the queen of neutrals. If you have trouble wearing pink, like I sometimes do, try this favorite look: white jeans, gray top, flesh colored shoes, pink bag… Try it. What’s that? You don’t think gray and beige can be worn together? Au contraire mon frere. Check this out:

If you a fan of gray, and I am the president of that fan club, this may be the season to open up your wallet. Here are some of my favorite grays of today:
At Habit, this Rebecca Taylor dress is made to flatter many bodies. $275
Velvet top in gray at Emmaline, in Franklin
Ella Moss gray top also at Emmaline. We had a field day at this fabulous shop in Franklin, across the street from SOL.

Chanel debuted this gray polish, Particuliere, for the Spring 2010 runway. All the models wore it and now I must have it too! Photo from Imaxtree.com
Chanel's 3 new colors for Spring (the gray one mentioned before, on the left, looks a little taupe-y here!) So, the outfit color combo I was just talking about at the beginning of this post? Yep, here it is again: gray, pink, beige. I know, it's so nice when Chanel listens to me;-)
Wear a gray top or dress with any of these nail colors and add the following shoes:
I mentioned flesh colored shoes and I don’t know how to be more flesh colored than to embrace the clear trend:
Clear sandals, Stuart Weitzman, $158
Blinda Slouchy, $250, Tory Burch.
If you can wear a 4 inch+ heel, and you have a wad of cash to blow, well, may I suggest this pair from Prada?:
Prada, $795. I love these. I would be almost 6'4" tall in these. Who cares. They are awesome.
Pedro Garcia, on sale at Jildor Shoes (website), $220
These are bound to be as comfortable as they are cute! $80 and made by comfort brand Clarks.
At just $98, these shoes from Banana Republic will fill many holes in a shoe closet and will be welcome in Nashvlle weather from late February through November.
