The Gray Tuesday You Still Want To Feel Dressed

The Gray Tuesday You Still Want To Feel Dressed

Some days have no plan and no event, just a commute, a lecture or a shift, and a sky the color of the sidewalk. These four pieces cover that kind of day: a sweatshirt, wide jeans, heeled boots and a large wrap, for someone building a wardrobe on a small budget.

  1. The ankle boots for a rushed morning and a long day

    A round toe, a 3 inch heel and a side zipper with elastic V cut panels make these ankle boots easy to pull on. The lining is soft textile, the insole is cushioned latex, and the sole is rubber. They are the one dressy note in this set, under the wide jeans.

  2. The extra large wrap for cold mornings and long flights, Medium Gray

    The wrap measures 87x28 inches, big enough to fold as a scarf or drape over the shoulders. The fabric type is listed as 60% cashmere and 40% wool, and this version is Medium Gray. It comes in a gift box, and the gray sits quietly with denim and a sweatshirt.

  3. The jeans for a weekend that starts with no plan

    These wide leg jeans have a high waist, a raw hem and a loose, baggy fit. The fabric is 65% cotton, 33% polyester and 2% elastane, so there is a little stretch. The listing says to check the size chart, since the cut is roomy on purpose.

  4. The sweatshirt for the first cool morning of fall

    A crew neck sweatshirt with long sleeves and a front kangaroo pocket, made of 90% polyester and 10% spandex. It is described as lightweight, so it can be worn alone in mild weather or as a base layer when it gets colder. Care is machine wash, with the first wash done separately.
