It’s all gray, but it feels great. Last week I was super-colorful and boho (or “old hippie”). Today I’m all about the monochrome, in all-gray, and feeling good.
Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now! |
This look is casual enough for my easy Florida life, at least 95% of it. If I need to look more polished I could swap out the stretch skirt for a slim woven pencil, and the open toe shoes for Chelsea-style booties. The scarf is a special one to me, with Bill Cunningham all over it.

The silver hair is via the Sweet Talk wig by Gabor. Fab lace up shoes are by Sofft.
The top is my favorite piece here – it’s by Kate Spade Saturday (now defunct) and it’s a super thick cotton blend with structure. I found it at my Greenwich Village Goodwill for $12, a good deal. The skirt is c/o pRana, an ethically-sourced green clothing line I think you would love.

Since I dressed conservatively, I had the urge to get my dance on. Always have a surprise at the ready.

thank you, Elle, and you look gorgeous today! And thanks for linking up and being fabulous, xox
That skirt is perfect – the perfect amount of casual seams but a perfect fit. That it is comfortable makes is a no-brainer. Sad that we cant go look it up and get one 🙂
You can find the skirt here: https://www.prana.com/women.html; it’s called the Beaker Skirt. I think you’d love it. Your chandelier earrings are perfect! xox
So chic! I think the grey works especially well when you have on a silver wig.
That scarf is wonderful.

Same back to you, Andrea! I enjoyed reading about your Harry Potter family adventure, xox.
Isn’t it the best when we can do every colour and every neutral, whenever we want? I have been playing with neutrals more lately, but I’m never without a bit of colour (even if it’s just my hair!).
Thanks so much for hosting, Patti!
Your hair is looking awesome, I like it long (and short too). Thanks for linking up and stay fabulous, xox.
You can never go wrong wearing grey which I totally love Patti. And the hair is fabulous. Lots of love to FL from sunny Frankfurt watching your nail-biting recount 😉 xo Sabina
Thank you Sabina. You look so cozy and enviable in your warm wrap, on the balcony, xox.
Grey, but not boring at all. I am loving your youthful yet elegant outfit, Patti! xxx
Thanks Ann! How I wish I could join you on one of your weekend jaunts to the vintage fairs : > xox.
I’ve been wearing a lot of monochromatic looks lately too—it’s my way of doing fall when it’s still warm out. Love your hair like that, too!

Thank you Heather, and thanks for linking up – your blog is elegant! xox
It’s good to hear between mono and colorful. Your outfit still looks fresh and bright and not in the least conservative thanks to the design on the top and the edgy shoes.
Thank you Gail. Your spa visit looks wonderfully luxurious! xox
I love the options we have no matter what day it is….I’m usually more of a rainbow, but there are days I love the monochromatic!

Thank you Jodie! Your leather skirts and gorgeous shoes really made my day! xox
This is a great look, Patti. You are so right about that outfit working about 95% of the time–said by another FL resident. The wig has so much personality and spunk.
Thanks Kim! Are you having any cool breezes yet? : ) And thanks for your post with good advice on jewelry, xox.
Love you getting your dance on! Heh. I don’t see this as conservative because you’re the one wearing it, Patti. The scarf adds a burst too. I’m a bit muted in this photo but feeling so fine. O took my photos – such a treat. Thanks for the linkup!
Right you are, I haven’t been called conservative in at least 40 years : > Loved seeing your Nordstrom videos, and feeling very special to know you. xox
I don’t stick to a certain style either – it’s much more fun to mix it up and have fun! I love the addition of the beautiful scarf to the grey background which allows it to stand out. Fabulous hair too! Hope you have a great week Patti 🙂

Thanks Emma, and thanks for linking up. I think coated jeans are a fantastic idea for an upgrade, and you look fab. xox
Patti, your “never follow a formula and never be predictable” approach to style is such a positive perspective on ageless fashion. Thank you for this weekly dose of inspiration.

You look sassy, not conservatively, methinks. 🙂 Love these photos of you! Your shoes and scarf are great fun, and the form-hugging skirt is sensual and elegant! Wonderful look! <3
thank you dear Natalia! I enjoyed your time travel back to a gorgeous floral maxi dress, xox.
You rock every color of the rainbow, Patti! And I *love* the hair. <3
