shades of grey

25 May 2011 by Carolina Engman

STREETS. For some reason almost everything I packed for NY was black, grey or white but I kind of think it captures the mood of the city perfectly. Ended up not buying a single thing during this trip and decided to compensate by doing some jet lag shopping last night (veeery dangerous). Will post some pictures as soon as the package gets here but I can say one thing, it’s completely the opposite of the muted colors above ;)

Topshop dress. JNBY leather jacket. American Apparel bag. H&M sunnies. Scorett boots.

Neutral colors means easier dressing, especially when you’re packing for a trip.

I love the asymmetrical dress, and even looks comfy.
Muted looks are usually the ones I favor, anyways. And I’m pretty sure that every blogger ever has the aa bag.
It just will go with anything.

I completely agree with the color choices! This look epitomizes NY chic, it’s never too hot for dark “I’m too cool” colors in the city.

I always pack the same kind of colours with me on vacation! It’s interesting how I think I’ll have a completely different outlook on life and style in another city, but it’s more or less always true.

Love the edginess of this look, and you look absolutely gorgeous, as always!
