I’m in my neutrals era, and it feels so good!

Big news! 

I’m in my neutrals era, and it feels so good!

After years of dopamine dressing, I am toning it down. 

I’ve decided to stop wearing colour. Brooches begone! 

Blending in is the new standing out. 

Maximalism is actually feels mundane. 

A guy I used to have a crush on once told me I should only wear greys and browns because I shouldn’t draw attention to my redness with colour. I’m revisiting his wise words. 

This move back to only navy, grey, black, beige and brown feels so right. So me. I can’t wait to get a little daring with taupe, olive and cream! 

I’m introducing this colour palette restructure with two items that I’ve owned for a long time – blazers I’ve had since Year 10 work experience; and from when I started my job in the APS 21 years ago. 

Neutrals really are timeless. 

Thank you for respecting my brave, bold new fashion decision – I understand you’ll be mourning the colour. Scroll down to see how embracing the grey brings out my smile.

I wore neutrals and it felt fucking fabulous.

White text on navy at the top of the photo reads: “I’m in my neutrals era,  and it feels so good.” 2. Carly, wearing a grey pinstripe blazer over a grey top, smiling widely. She’s standing under a tree in both photos.
