I used to always wear it with black and white. Or if I was feeling saucy, red.
Same with a pair of nice gray wool pants I used to own. "White shirt! Oooh, I think today I'll do a red jacket instead of my black jacket, bwahaha! Look at my sass!"
And there's nothing wrong with that. It's just ... Expected I guess?
Now that I've got this suit back in rotation, I'm not wasting any more opportunities with it. I mean, gray is a neutral, dang it! It pairs with nearly everything (except brown, unless someone can enlighten me about why I'm wrong, and that's okay, because I'm eager to learn new stuff).
What I'm sayin' is, there's a ton of options with gray. But you usually just see a few standards with it - black and white, or if someone's got their sassy pants on, red. The very occasional pink or bright blue.
So instead of any of the above, I present to you ... GREEN!
(I am thrilled to have this suit back in rotation, by the way. It's an Anne Klein I got on sale when the design was being discontinued, so the whole suit cost about $60, and I lurve me some awesome deals, bwahahahahaha I say again!)
TL;DR - PLAY WITH COLOR AND HAVE FUN!
Bonus tip - Notice the tie neck blouse? No necklace required. Yet the rest of the look still remains uncluttered enough, you can wear a more playful earring than usual.
I typically don't wear an earring this big and dangly to work, but I am today because:
1) my hair is long enough now I can pull it off without my ears screaming "LOOK AT AND VALIDATE ME!" and
2) I'M FEELING SAUCY!
Oh, and most importantly, they're still not overwhelming because of the overall jewelry restraint.
And yet SAUCY!
Damn, I'm such a rebel.
