Looking for a One, Two Punch? Add Some Metal to Your Gray.

Lauren Dimet Waters

One of my favorite (and one of the more original) looks from New York Fall Fashion Week '07 was accenting gray with silver and pewter. There was some copper and bronze with gray, but we will save that for another day.

If the thought of wearing gray head-to-toe depresses the hell out of you, punch it up with a bit of sparkle and shine. Whether you chose a belt, shimmery tights or a metal hued top...you can't go wrong.
