These dresses can be worn for ALL occasions. You can wear them casually with a strappy flat during the day out lunching and running errands OR you can wear them in the evening with a high-heeled wedge and shoulder wrap to a dinner and outdoor concert! Whatever the occassion, you should invest in at least two of these dresses. They are here to stay and gray promises you will get TONS of wear and use from them.

HOW TO WEAR: Summer Skirts


Skirts have come a long way since the 1980's. And thank goodness! Who would want to be caught wearing a poofy, lace mini-skirt? Now the trend is more subtle and consistent. Skirts usually come in three different styles: A-line, pencil, or tulip.

The A-line skirt is great for all body types. It provides room for comfortable walking strides and dancing steps. It also makes the hips look slimmer and hides any tummy concerns. The pencil skirt is great for someone taller with a straight down figure. This type of skirt will hug the body and will create the illusion of curves. The tulip skirt is best on women who have a medium to thin build. The balloon in the hips is very forgiving for those who have wider hips or extra weight in the lower stomach. However, the style should still be loose in that area.

You can wear skirts for almost any occasion. Throw on a mini A-line skirt for a day at the beach or shimmy into a pencil skirt for a day at the office or evening cocktail party. No matter the event, skirts should be a staple in your closet.

Outfit 1-Ci Sono Ruffle Top $30
Hale Bob A-line Mini ON SALE $152.25

Outfit 2-Dream Culture Short Sleeve Blouse $92
Brown Woven Belt $50
Pleated Polkadot Skirt $127

HOW TO WEAR: Summer Blouses


Blouses can be worn during the summer for the following occassions: a luncheon, a cocktail party, a religious event, a fundraiser, a day out shopping, a dinner party, a day at the race track, or a night out with the gals.

You can pair a blouse with almost anything to make it look chic and smart. If you need a dressy outfit, pair a blouse with a high waisted skirt or nice black pant. This will make you look clean and sophisticated. Top off the look with a stiletto heel and minimal jewelry.

For a more casual look, wear a blouse with a pair of denim or dress shorts. You can throw on either a stylish flat sandal or wedge to complete the look.

Outfit 1-Hale Bob Black and Ivory Top $249
Poleci Black Pants ON SALE $130

HOW TO WEAR: Summer Sweaters


Have you been seeing those fabulous sweaters and long dresses in every store? Are you one of those people who think it looks great on the mannequin or on everyone else, but don't think you could ever pull it off? Well gray is here to help you STOP thinking that way. Tell yourself...you CAN pull it off. You CAN slip on one of those tightly woven, light weight sweaters that feel so luxurious against your skin! Gray is going to tell you how to wear the latest trends: summer sweaters, blouses, skirts, and long dresses. Let's start off with Summer Sweaters.

Summer sweaters can be worn several different ways. You can wear them casually with a short skirt or dressy with white denim. The looks are completely different. If you need a day outfit to walk around town in, pair a bright colored summer sweater with a skirt or shorts. Top off the outfit with a great pair of flat sandals and a scarf around the neck to look super chic.

If you need a fancier look for a nice dinner, beach side, pair a feminine summer sweater with a pair of crisp white jeans and high heeled stilettos. Finish the look with sparkly jewelry in either gold or silver tones.

Outfit 1- Coral Sweater with White Belt $80
J Brand Straight Leg Jean $159
