End Notes:

In the latest issue of Lucky Magazine, the editors were raving about orange-and-gray as an unexpected take on neutrals with a pop. While I clearly love gray and I have several orange pieces that I adore, I really have never paired them together as the foundation of an outfit. And then I saw Jean C’est Quoi’s fantastic outfit earlier this week and I was completely sold. Orange and gray. I’m in.

My favorite bit in this outfit is my orange bauble necklace, a bargain treasure from Forever 21. I added an extra necklace chain to lengthen it for today and I love how it completely changes the entire shape.

Tangentially, my bangs look like another pop of orange here. I wish they wouldn’t.
