Gray Matters

As declared by every women's magazine, fashion critic and celebrity stylist, gray is the season's "It" color. Unless you've been hiding under a rock -- which we're willing to bet was dressed in gray -- you've probably noticed the trend, which rolled in like a crash of thunder.

If you look forward to gloomy days, you celebrated the dismal turn the fashion color wheel took. If sunny days and the vibrant colors that fill them are more your speed, spring probably can't come sooner. We've come up with a way for you to get your fill of both.

Stay true to the dominant color this season while still satisfying your Crayola craving through the use of accessories. The extra accoutrements -- handbags, shoes, gloves, etc. -- blast the dull right out of that gray.
