OOTD: Shades of Gray

Hi everyone!

One of my fail-safe colors for work clothes is gray. I love the classiness of gray and feel like it's not quite as formal as black. It was also a bit overcast today, so the color fit the weather exactly. Here was my outfit for today:

Banana Republic Modern Scoopneck Tee in XS (similar here)
Forever 21 Knit Wrap Skirt in XS (similar here)
Forever 21 Braided Grey Pumps in size 6
Forever 21 Rustic Bedazzled Owl Necklace

Top: I really like the simplicity of this BR top. It's a little sheer, but the when paired with a nude-colored bra, you don't notice a thing. It's nice and sleek and pairs nicely with a skirt or dressed down with a pair of jeans.

Skirt: I've actually been looking for a flattering tulip skirt for awhile now. I've tried on several from Bebe but they were all super tight on me and showed off way too much leg whenever I sat down. Definitely not work appropriate! This skirt from Forever 21 is actually perfect. It's just loose enough so I don't feel like a wrapped up sausage and I can go about my day not having to adjust my clothes and look uncomfortable.

Shoes: I found these shoes at Forever 21 maybe 6 months ago and really love them. Since I wear grey a lot, these shoes were just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I've never been able to find a shoe by Forever 21 smaller than a size 6, so these shoes are a bit big on me (I'm a size 5 - 5.5). I've added heel inserts and a forefoot insole so make it a bit better. It's wearable if I'm just going to be in the office where I sit for most of the day -- the only walking I really do is to the cafeteria and the bathrooms. ^_^

Necklace: I've noticed that I've been wearing lots of animal necklaces lately! I don't know if it's coincidence or if it's actually a trend! I do know that I have seen several animal necklaces at Forever 21 lately - fish, bunny, butterfly, zebra, and even panda!!

Stay cute everyone!
