So, I'm wearing my new grey jeans today.
Yes. Again.
I just can't get enough of them.
(See the first time I wore my grey jeans with a colorful striped poncho HERE and with a blue plaid shirt HERE.)
I love them.
Sorry I'm not sorry.
Before I got dressed the other day, I knew I was going to wear them...
I just didn't know HOW I was going to wear them.
So, I do what I do, I searched Pinterest to see if I could get some inspiration. I found several great grey jeans pics (that you'll see in a minute), but this next picture caught my eye.
It was on a blog where the blog author was considering it as a color scheme for her master bedroom. The NAVY, GREY, and BROWN spoke to me.
And it got me thinking.

First of all, this color combo would allow me to wear both my new favorite grey jeans AND my new favorite over-the-knee boots (they are the color on the bottom right of the scheme above).
Plus, you know I love wearing black brown and grey together, so why not mix it up a bit by substituting the black for navy?
I know.
I live on the edge.

So I paired THIS top (you're gonna LOVE it!) with my new grey jeans and my camel colored over-the-knee boots!
Look how fancy I got with my collage.

It was a simple outfit with all muted colors, but I loved it all together!
And let's take a close up look at the accessories!

I know that their is a $7.95 re-stocking fee for the boots if you return them (no re-stocking fee if you exchange them)...but I'm telling you, I think they are worth the risk!
In fact, just yesterday I received an e-mail from a reader about the boots (her e-mail was so sweet and totally made my day), and I will share just a portion of it with you right now!
I had commented on your instagram regarding the OTK boots from Sole Society! Well...they came in yesterday, and let me just say... It was like Christmas came early! The color is gorgeous, the comfort is on another level. They are definitely a wear all day, chase after two boys type of boot! I am 5'9" and I worried they would not appear to be OTK on my legs, but I love the length. I was already wearing my Vigoss skinnies, jcrew factory camo vest, and a polka dot sweater from Target last season. I like them with this outfit, but really can't wait to pair them with black skinnies, denim shirt, and my blanket scarf!
Mallory
I have no idea how 5'9" Mallory and 5'4" me can both pull this boot off...but we totally both can!
So...wanna see Mallory?
HOW CUTE IS SHE? I WAS DYING AT THE STYLING WITH THE POLKA DOT AND CAMO TOGETHER! LOVE IT ALL MALLORY!
#iwanttobemallory
If you are making puppy eyes at her polka dot sweater, I found one (it's cashmere, so brace yourselves because it's not cheap), that I love HERE.
over-the-knee boots HERE
(For the record, I searched high and low, but I couldn't find a comparable camo jacket. Sorry!)
She also sang the praises of THESE boots (also from Sole Society).
I also wanted you and your readers to know about the Lucky Brand Oscarr Boots I also purchased from Sole Society. I'm so sorry my lighting and iPhone pictures are so awful, but these boots are where it's at. The leather is beautiful, there are zippers on the inside and out, the dark wood contrast against the black leather is gorgeous. I put them on (with my Vigoss skinnies, of course) and immediately felt like a million bucks! I definitely would recommend these boots as a MUST HAVE!
Mallory, I'm so glad you love your over-the-knee boots, and thank you so much for sharing your must have find with us!!!!
Okay...back to my beloved grey jeans......I'm dying to know....
Are you sold on the need for grey jeans yet? I for one cannot believe I didn't have any last year!
If not, let me see if Pinterest can convince you.

I LOVE the grey jeans paired with the leopard on the far left. And I think they look so smart dressed up a bit with the black sweater and layered white shirt (in the middle), and I really like how the far right picture shows you that grey jeans aren't just for fall and winter. They look great paired with the fresh white tee and cognac accessories!
You might as well get yourself a pair of grey jeans now because you are going to be seeing A LOT of them one me this fall and winter! ;)
Remember that THESE are my favorite grey jeans for many reasons. Click HERE to read my review from Monday and to see my sizing suggestions before you buy.

Okay...enough about grey jeans and cords....
A couple of days later I decided to wear my new shirt again...you know, before I actually put it in the laundry hamper.
What?
You don't do that.
Yeah, neither do I.
I can't say enough about this shirt. It's quite a bit shorter in the front than it is in the back, but that's what makes it interesting! I also love how it goes ahead and pairs the navy and grey together to make mixing the colors a no-brainer for you!
And when I decided to wear this top with my regular jeans, there was NO DOUBT in my mind that the leopard flats were going to be on my feet.

Are you smitten with the top yet?

For size reference, I'm wearing a small in the top.
I know it's expensive, but I love it.
And since I gave you grey jean options..I thought I should give you navy top options too.

a) navy side tie wrap sweater HERE
b) navy windowpane popover HERE
c) navy drape neck sweater HERE
d) navy zip back sweater HERE
Ooh! There's also the LOFT waterfall cardigan (that I have in grey) in navy HERE.
And does anybody have THE MUST HAVE SHIRT in navy?
I only have this year's version in black, but I would LOVE the navy if it hides wrinkles like the black does! Somebody please leave a comment saying they have this shirt and love it!

And since I gave you grey jeans options...and navy top options....I thought I should give you brown boot options too.
