Yet one more thing Angela Martin and I have in common...

Katy the purse girl: What colors do you like?
Angela: Grey. Dark grey. Charcoal.
It's a grey day here in Austin. We haven't seen nary a raindrop, let alone cloud cover, for months on end so the dark sky comes as a relief.

Do you guys have one color that you incorporate into your wardrobe more than any other color? Mine is grey. And yes, I prefer the British spelling. The "e" feels more elegant. I was doing laundry the other night and had the urge to pull out all my grey clothing. The evidence is pictured below. (Minus one Olympic henley, a track jacket, and boots.) I have grey sweats for the schlubbiest of days and a grey skirt that I wear when I'm feeling fancy. Every day I have at least two or three pieces of grey, what with my watch and my purse and my converse or flip-flops.  Even my bedding is mostly grey (with a little bit of green). Don't worry, I'm working on incorporating more color into my closet, but it's going to be a hard pull away from the comfort of grey. Anyone want to start a support group with me?

{I've included one of my favorite Mason Jennings songs below and a Jaymay song that fits the theme.}

Is plaid a color? If not...it might be a tie between blue and black.

Ugh...I feel so average.

I love 'grey' as opposed to 'gray' as well! And I agree on the reason; it really is more elegant! I have a ton of coral colored stuff. Why?! I have no clue. I think it's left over from when my mother told me over and over how boring the colors in my wardrobe were, so I started picking the brightest colors I could find!

More than half my wardrobe is grey. So is my car. I think it might be because my cat is grey and I think she's a beautiful color.

Ha! I love gray, too! And I'm feeling especially gray lately. I even bought a gray shower curtain and bath mat! :)

I love all the colors of the rainbow! And my closet is organized by color so that it looks like a rainbow. And my room looks like a rainbow threw up.

I do have a disproportionate amount of red though.
