Gray for Spring

I keep finding pieces in the DeeTalez hunt that I just can't help but build looks around. These tailored charcoal gray shorts (which I nearly overlooked since they were a men's gift) were a great reminder of why this often-overlooked neutral color is such an awes way to go casual cool.
This lovely matte shine gray vest comes from a whole outfit available from a MM board at Nanashi & Yesss Designs that's just giving this look away for free when you click it (I have no idea how long this free-for-all is lasting, but it comes with a cute chocolate brown bolero jacket too).
My skin is another Tres Blah find at Melt (love the dark brows on this one) + this retro '20s blonde hairstyle, complete with petite angled bobbypins, is a former Atomic sale scoop that I was so psyched to have remembered for this look.
I was just starting to shoot when creator Squinternet Larnia of Donna Flora dropped her newest jewels on me, which were the loveliest gem compliment to these gray tones. These brand-new, smoky purple "Arturo" amethyst pieces are crammed full of all the usual supercrazy Donna Flora details, like these teeny tiny diamond butterlies trailing up these hanging chain links. -- Take it from this RL jewelry designer: these would be a bitch and a half to create in RL.
Here's the matching necklace. Scroll down to the Styling Credits for the ring, too.Btw all of these too cool for school poses are totally free, courtesy of the lovely Brutus Martinek of Pididdle. *mwuahs Brutus*
Finally I gotta give a huge shout to mah girl Dancer Dallagio at Stiletto Moody, who keeps hookin' me up with couture beauties for my feets. These light gray pointed-toe pumps with baby pink ties added a spot-on girlish yet sophistiated touch for this uptown spring look. *mwuahs Dancer*
So psyched that springtime is just around the corner. Love + fashionista kisses to all!
