For the past few days, we've been having stormy weather here in Southern California. The gray skies with occasional golden sun popping through the clouds inspired me to write this post.
While I do like the occasional cloudy day that brings a much-needed break from the dry hot SoCal weather, I always find myself getting anxious and wishing that the sun will be back soon.
This post is a celebration of my new favorite color combination: Gold and Gray. Inspired by the cloudy skies and the dream of sunshine, this color combination makes transitioning from winter to spring a breeze.
Plus, gray is really one of my favorite colors to wear. By itself, it may seem a little boring. But, it is so versatile and provides a great back-drop for any pop of color. Adding a burst of warm yellow and gold to gray is a great way to keep things interesting.
Hope you like what you see!
