Softer than delicate white and less aggressive than pitch black, gris, the French word for the color gray, is also one of my go-to neutral. Recently, we see Rihanna sporting gray hair so could this mean gray is the new black? It could be. Although it goes with everything just like black and white, gray has a special power that makes it the perfect in-between hue for a wardrobe basic.
Gray dresses and jeans have been popular since time immemorial but gray shirts or gray tops have recently earned their staple-status recently for some reason only fashion experts can explain. If you pair a sweater with a leather skirt, you take the work-wear staple into effortlessly cool territory — that's why I paired my gray knit sweater with a leather skirt to create an edgy look.
Whatever kind of top it is, slouchy, knitted or jersey, pairing it with generously-proportioned skirts or detailed skirts like my black leather mini, the result is something quirky. It makes me feel like this is the perfect 'I'm-not-trying-too-hard' outfit.
For me, this is the ultimate in weekend-wear: casual, comfy and low-key.
*The Style Diplomat's NOTE: I recently had my hair colored again and had it chopped a little. I'm so happy that I'm getting positive feedback and some are wondering where I had my hair ombre'd. I had it done by my Mom's friend, Agatha of Salon Isabel. Her salon is found in Ortigas, Manila :)

Hi Liz! I'm asking this not because I'm hating on you or anything, but I'm just genuinely curious hehe. How much do your parents give you for your allowance?
I love you and your fashion sense, by the way! I know a lot of people look up to you--I surely do. Hehehe. Thanks!
Wish you have clearer photos but they are amazing! :D Good looking Liz.
I don't wanna be a hypocrite. Yes, it's from the allowance my parents give me. I'm still jobless at the moment and I'm just maximizing the amount they give me for food, etc. I'm just taking advantage of my remaining DAYS of being unemployed because I'm set to start work ASAP. I don't see the point of your question because they're my parents and not my neighbors. Haha. Maybe if you would stop being a negative judgmental person, your parents might love to buy you stuff too. God bless :)
