I know I'm doing a bunch of grays and blues here but I tried to vary the textures--corduroy, denim, a thick wooly sweater, and plaid wool flats. Lately, I have a new appreciation for pants. Maybe it's because I've been spending a lot of time at home and coffee shops studying, or maybe it's because I discovered high-lycra pants which are super comfy and make me feel put together. These cords, for instance, feel like pajamas but, as Christopher wisely remarked, "They just look really tight, which is awesome." Win-win.
I'm off to Chicago for a birthday weekend with Christopher, where it's supposed to rain constantly and we'll be forced to stay cozy and dry by spending time inside museums (and H&M, of course).
I'm a bike-riding bookworm in DC trying to make better use of a sometimes-vanilla closet. You can read a little more about this blog

Happy belated birthday, girl!
To me, it's about time we resuscitate the beauty and versatility of grays, which look great on you, by the way ;)

I too love the skinny jeans/cords with a lot of stretch! They are chic and so comfortable :0) I like the colors you've been featuring!
Totally love this look! I am also wearing all gray today :) Great minds think alike! Ha!
I love how elegant this colour palate is. Grey and blue are probably my two favourite colours.

I do admire the mix of textures when using the same hues.
Love the gray with gray. You look so pretty.

oh, enjoy Chicago! Are you able to make it to the Art Institute? I haven't been to the new modern wing, but would like to. I'll give you a virtual wave to say hi from Evanston! Have a great birthday weekend.
p.s. those flats are darling.
Omigosh, I have those same flats! They're one of my favorites! :D Nice look! :D
Also, I hope you enjoy our fair city! Definitely go to the Art Institute! It's amazing! :D
I really like this. I never pair grey with grey, I see now what a fool I've been! The cardigan looks great belted.
What a beautiful color combo! As usual you've created an amazing look. Love it.
Enjoy Chicago and say hello to H&M for me. :)

Loving the shoes - have a great B-day weekend!
Blue and greys are two of my favorite colors. I love how the different textures break up the monochromatic look. Have a fun weekend!
I personally find grey pants (in my case denim) very hard to pull off. But by gosh I think you've done it and I think I will uh... copy (Shh) sometime!!!
have a great weekend! and I think it's a lovely outfit, colour isn't always necessary :)
I love the monochromatic palette! It's tough to pull off grey, but you're rockin' it :)
those cords are so cute!
ps. next time you drive to chicago, stop by galesburg! we could get lunch or coffee!
Cuuute! I've been dying for a sweater like that. Must check J. Crew!

I love mixing textures, especially in the colder months (can your outfit get any cozier?). I also love the belt over the knit--I've never thought of that, but think I'll try it soon with my chunky knit blazer thing. Thanks for the inspiration!
So is the secret to making a monochromatic color scheme look good by pairing it with different textures. I'm loving the inspiration I'm getting from your blog. itsallaboutalifestyle.blogspot.com
I love love love that cardigan. I want it...bad.

Love this outfit! When did you get that sweater? I was looking at the J. Crew site, they have a similar looking one that is cable, but yours looks like it might be a bit thicker. Hope you had a fantastic birthday weekend!
