Other than the little black dress, I don’t have that much black in my wardrobe. I think it could be quite aging, and that’s not where I want to go as I’m well into my fourth decade. Anyhoo, I can’t realistically deny myself ‘basic black’ so, as a better alternative, I have many pieces in gray. Just the right balance of radiance and somberness to make a statement. These following pieces will be involved in many wardrobe permutations. Edit, 08.22.2007: The outfit looked like it needed some substantial accessory to complete. Thus, I added the Mark Davis cuff.
