I bought a new grey suit from Portmans in Australia. Great price and freight was not much to get it here to NZ. So much better value than buying here - and better styles to choose from!!

Just need to get it cleaned and pressed before I can wear it out - but I had to look at how I would wear it today- I think it will be a versatile suit because Grey is so neutral. I spent an hour today looking at some styling options.

here's a pic of an outfit idea. I think purples and lilacs - even pinks will be awesome with pale grey. So too would red perhaps.





I will put some modelling pics up from when I actually wear it out.

Good looking, classy outfit, nz. I would have thought that almost any colour would go with grey, just being an off-white. Electric blue, golden yellow, purple, maybe pastels would be as effective. Bright, strong colours.

Very nice, nz! I think the grey suit would work fabulously with the purple top and matching pumps. I see you added accessories like a bag, necklace and earrings, I've mentioned on my thread that I never leave home without a purse and don't feel fully dressed without earrings, so I'm impressed that you're going for the full look/ Can't wait to see pics of you in that ensemble!

I know you have high standards too ! As for accessories - well they make an outfit a little sharper looking. As far as earrings go - I have a few piercings in me and my ears are among them so I do wear earrings - but usually only wear drop earrings/hoops etc for an evening out sort of thing. But I thought those earrings matched up well....

Lovely looking suit. My preference on shoes would be the purple/maroon/aubergine shoes (less severe looking / good colour match).

Good to see you intend to wear stockings with the suit. Legwwar will underpin the professional / smart look.

thanks.
yes I put a hosiery/stockings option there because I know many are big on hosiery - whereas down here we are more bare legs is ok - as long as they are moisturised etc its ok to go bare.

I'll have to wait and see but with a pencil skirt in suiting sometimes the old suspender belt bumps do ruin your lines... if that makes sense so we'll wait and see how I go.

I prefer the purple pumps too - the only thing putting me off them a tad is they have a gold plated heel (silver would be better)

Adding earrings was an experiment at first, and I wasn't sure if I'd like them. Turns out I did, and the rest was history, and I wear them on EVERY outing. As for what you chose for your outfit, I think you picked out a good pair, I think gold matches best and provides contrast with the purple top, kinda like the colors of the Los Angeles Lakers. Heh!

Quite true! Quite true!

Ha ha - just saying... mind you I'd be ok with it if they chose to...Heels are empowering.
