Trends: what’s new

“Grey is the new chocolate,” Joan Schnee of Green Paper Company says. Hooray. I’ve been a lifelong fan of grey; our delphine trade show booths this year have been a combo of citron yellow and warm grey.

I wore a chartreuse empire-waist top with gray pants the other day and my husband looked at me like I was crazy. I LOVED IT and was feeling mighty justified when I saw this post today. :)
