GRAY- A HOT COLOR FOR SPRING
GRAY- A HOT COLOR FOR SPRING
Hello, ladies! I hope you all are doing well and starting to feel like spring is on the way! It’s been so lovely and warm here in Dallas the last few days that it almost feels like we are going straight into early summer. It will cool off again, but spring fever has hit for now! We are headed to Palm Beach over the weekend for a bit of R&R, and it’s supposed to be warmer in Dallas! Today, I wanted to share a color that I love and a hot one for spring (although it doesn’t seem like a true one). It’s the color gray!
Gray was all over the runways for spring 2024 and mixed with some interesting colors. Red is still having a moment, and designers were mixing it with gray for spring. It doesn’t look as harsh as black for spring. Another interesting color that is being mixed with gray is Kelly green. It can look fun and fresh, but I honestly think a mint green looks better and softer. One last gray combination that I have always loved is gray and brown. However, I have never tried it for a spring look. What do you all think of these spring color trends? Are you game enough to try to wear one or two of them?
Heather ( So Heather ) and I found this adorable ruched bomber jacket ($98) in a blue/gray, and of course, we both paired it with a gray pant, denim, and white tees. I have to tell you about these pants! They are one of my favorite purchases so far for spring. This is the Effortless Pant and is a high-waisted wide-leg crepe trouser. They fit like a dream and come in three lengths and fifteen (yes, 15) colors. They go with everything and hardly wrinkle. I am obsessed and want them in almost every color. I also love this style of pants worn with sneakers. I think it gives more of a playful look.
You have probably noticed that some of the photos I am posting are not exactly professional. We have scaled back a bit and are trying to save a little by shooting each other. We are still working with our photographer, but not every week like we were. I am still striving to bring you all ideas for styling pieces to give you confidence in what you wear. That will never change!
I hope you all have a great weekend! Stay well and Be safe! xx

I’m sorry but those are not the most flattering pair of pants you have ever worn. You can do much better.

Those pants are not good on you.
Especially with those shoes.
I think you always look good in skinny jeans.
Jeans that fit you well.
Over sized clothing does none of us any favors.
In fact this look makes you look older and you look like you don’t feel well.
I’m surprised that Heather didn’t tell you this.
Hope this helps.
P. S.
Why do you show comments ?
Shouldn’t you keep that private?

Wow, you ladies are brutal. Cathy looks fresh and modern in that outfit.
No worries about the photo quality, Cathy. Thank you for all you do to inspire!

Don’t listen to the negative comments. I like the pants and shoes. I think it’s fresh. Skinny jeans would be such an outdated look. Loving all the retro sneakers right now. Reminds me of high school. The grey seems to have a strong blue undertone. Nice choice.

First of all , Cathy and Heather are both awesome.
There are no negative comments here. HELPFUL comments. Let’s keep it real.
I am a size 2 jeans and pants. So it’s my opinion.
Cathy looks to be the same or even smaller. And we look to be the same in height.
Pleated pants Cathy, are not a good look. You don’t look good at a size 2 or a size 0 , swimming in fabric. I was never a fan of pleated pants back in the 70’s. They flattered no one!!
We all tried them back in the day of course. I can’t believe they keep trying to bring them back!!
Skinny jeans …. Meant jeans that fit. No one sells skinny jeans anymore. But fitted jeans can be called skinny jeans for a skinny lady. It’s a compliment !! Let’s keep it straight!!
Cathy this is why you shouldn’t show your comments.

I think Kathy looks wonderful and polished. Wider leg pants are trending. I think Kathy and her friend look great and show fresh style.

I like the wider pants on women who have the height, style, and the right footwear to carry them off. They look fine on Kathy and Heather.
But — I have to agree that the wider pants/crops don’t look as flattering on most other women, generally speaking. I’ve seen friends wear the wider pants lately, and sadly, the first thought that occurs to me is that they look about 15 pounds heavier or … a little frumpy. I’ve purchased a couple of pairs of wider crops/pants for myself, and I struggle to style them — especially finding the tops and right shoes to balance the look. I’m not overweight, but I never feel that I look my best is these wider pants. I will keep trying to adapt 🙂

I think Kathy looks amazing, very professional. Pants with broader legs are fashionable. I believe google Kathy looks fantastic and has a modern sense of style.

Funny how opinions can differ. There is no right or wrong, just a matter of difference in taste. Personally, I love the pants you are wearing, Kathy, and you look fabulous in it.
