I'm glad to hear that grey is stylish now, I tend to be a somber dresser, so it's never lacking in my wardrobe.<BR/><BR/>I like living in my country town where fashion is less important that it is in the cities. I do like beautiful, elegant clothing, but I'm not much of a follower. Here I feel less pressure to look like everyone else.

The second, that they always wore darker, softer colors: somber if indicative of mourning, elegant otherwise. I then thought: How exquisitely graceful it seems to slowly become an older woman in this culture.<BR/><BR/>Today? Notwithstanding the changes in style, I still feel a woman can age beautifully here, in quieter tones.<BR/><BR/>Grey is a beautiful and elegant color. I accept it as an intelligent suggestion, not as a fashion rule.<BR/><BR/>PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154569229380760325.post-51304979865975897692007-10-25T08:52:00.000+02:002007-10-25T08:52:00.000+02:00Gah!

I was going to buy a short grey coat at the end of last season and at the last minute decided against it...although recently at least I did opt for grey in a warm-up suit type thingee like the one in the window (and I almost always wear it with something in the red family underneath).<BR/><BR/>Who knew I was in style? Sort of?<BR/><BR/>Pretty coat!Michelle | Bleeding Espressohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578703393987896737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3154569229380760325.post-79499942863029559562007-10-25T06:54:00.000+02:002007-10-25T06:54:00.000+02:00I have that long black quilted down coat.The thing...I have that long black quilted down coat.The thing is, I bought it last year.
