Oh how I love this trend. I recently found out from Rose Theodora, Real Life Style’s Color Astrologist, that grey is my “transition” color. All I know is that when I walk into my kids’ all grey playroom, I breathe so much more deeply than in my green living room. Who feels more relaxed in the playroom than the living room? That is how strongly I love a monochromatic grey look. Maybe I can lay on my grey couch, surrounded by grey carpet, grey painted walls and ceiling, in an all-grey outfit, and get a few minutes to myself because no one will be able to find me in the sea of grey? Almost forgot! The most important accessory for this look is a bright red or pink lip, so I guess I won’t be able to disappear after all.
Happy Shopping!
