Gray has some real negative connotations associated with it. Whenever I think of gray, I feel a little sad. Gray skies..... the gray areas of life when you don't have clear answers or a clear path to take. I couldn't even think of anything in nature that showcases the color gray until my husband took me to Fort Williams in Portland Maine this past friday. And it was among the rocks that I felt right at home Silver, however, is like taking the color gray and pimping it out, giving it some bling, shining it up real nice. But gray, good ol' basic gray, is like cinder blocks, sky scrapers and factories with smoke stacks. Yet, I love to wear gray. Not only is it a great compliment color, but this past week, I realized that it was able to stand alone. Gray Had The Spotlight.
It all started with a desire to have a gray sweater dress. I don't know, it just dawned on me one day that I had purple, blue, brown striped, tan, magenta, but not gray. And I wanted one. So when I went back-to-school shopping with my girls, my daughter actually found it in the sweater section and I loved it. It was my size, a great price, but it wasn't my day. That day it was all about the girls. A week later, I decided I would take an hour for "me" time and went back to the store to see what little treasures were hiding among the clutter and when I finally made it to the sweater department of my favorite thrift store, it was hanging there, waiting for me with a half off tag attached to it. Woo Hoo! Today was my lucky day. I mean, sure it was at a lesser price to began with, but a discount is a discount!
After that, it just got better. My husband had said that he wanted me to buy designer stockings and I rarely will wear them, but I decided to look anyway. Inside a whole bin of ugly, someone had discarded another dress of gray. It was a perfect fit too! I even found a pair of pants that has been the closest I've come to skinny jeans and they're not jeans at all. You can call them "skinny grays".
It Was a Gray Day. And for once, I don't mean that in a bad way. For two dresses and a pair of pants, I only paid $8.50. As a matter of fact, I think gray is the new color of sunshine. You should try it! You may like it too. Set aside your Gray Money today!
