This time of year, when you think of gray in your wardrobe, immediately a sweater or something cozy comes to mind. These amazing pieces from Marchesa {above} and Vera Wang {below} are great reminders that grey can be an amazing alternative to black for your next dressy function.
Love them both!

I love grey dresses and that last picture is completely stunning! Mind you, I am obviously a bit of a fiend for grey clothing – I have an awful lot in my wardrobe at the moment!

That Vera Wang is so gorgeous, I would die to wear that! I like that she did it in gray, it makes it a little more unexpected.

I love grey. I really do. Along with teal and orange it's my favourite colour. Perfect for every season too.

I agree, gray makes a bolder statement than black any day (especially gunmetal gray with lighter accents). The Vera Wang dress is a complete stunner – what a lovely pick!
