glamour in gray

"looking glamorous is a feminine survival instinct," said lanvin designer alber elbaz, referring to the perseverance of fashion despite the currently gloomy economic climate.
aesthetic endurance is actually useful in any clime, and in winter the most glamourous guardian is layering in a way that is both warming and cool!
subtle but serviceable layering is a hard art to master, whether for fashion, warmth, comfort, or decor. when it's unavoidable, but feels unnatural, opt to combine comparable tonalities of agreeable hues, such as grayish blues, greens, and blacks, or stick with one color in a collusion of textures.
garnish the palette with yellow, gold or white to break the continuity and create faint friction.

speaking of savvy survivor style, one of the most vitally important secrets i've gleaned living and working in this city regards how to rock a mini when it's absolutely arctic out - wear
many pairs of tights at once (bonus points if they're wool!).
not only is this trick crucial to my stubbornly sporting fluttery frocks the whole year-round, it is also the only way to achieve a truly opaque leg color.
