50 Shades & Lemonade

Grey, although sometimes not the most exciting shade to wear, has its place in fashion: silver, pewter, charcoal, and even the classic Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh shade.  However, when mixed with a shade of yellow, the combination is so fresh.  It's no surprise that this has shown up everywhere: home decor, crafting, clothing, etc.  Recently, Paulette Thomas, a Junior at Fordham College, sported this lovely neon yellow and grey sweater with a complimentary charcoal infinity scarf.  Her look is casual, yet crisp enough for class.

Yellow is a color of awakening. When I'm tired, the site of yellow instantly makes me feel more awake.  Today I woke up late (so late that I actually missed my train), exhausted from the day before.  I quickly threw on this sweater and I instantly feel more prepared.

Thankfully I don't totally look like someone who got ready in 5 minutes this morning.  This sweater is from the spring 2013 collection at the GAP, purchased for $39.99.  It is the softest sweater I own and it has saved my but on many occasions.

For anyone looking to try color-blocking their wardrobe, I highly recommend a combination of grey and yellow.  Send us messages and pics of your grey and yellow experiments!
