Love: Grey

As a lover a neutrals, my wardrobe, accessories, and color palettes contain a lot of grey. Grey by its very nature is incredibly versatile, it can be cozy-casual, professional, and sophisticated chic. Depending on your own style, grey can be the base for your look, but it is definitely strong enough to stand all on its own. Unlike black, which can be striking, the shades of grey lend themselves to an appealing softness. I suspect this is why I have just as many LGD's as LBD's!

These are all grey things that I own and use frequently:


  1. She looks so happy to have this awesome shirt!
  2. Essie - Master Plan
  3. OPI - You Don't Know Jacque
  4. ULTA - Finely Pruned
  5. A Versatile Kohl Style Liner - Great for Everyday Wear
  6. Budget Friendly Neutral Palette
  7. Comfortable Shoe for Work & Casual Looks
  8. (Similar) Flattering Classic Dress
  9. So Great I Bought it in Both Colors!
  10. (Similar) Soft, Chic, and Cozy Sweater
  11. A Pant for Every Occasion - I Have These in Both Colors as Well
  12. Great Tights at a Great Price

Ask Fancy Fox: (N)o Grease Lighting

Dear Fancy Fox,

I am a normal woman in her 30's, not a Pat Benatar impersonator or a daredevil biker. And yet! I really, really want a pair of (p)leather leggings. For now, I have my eye on these: Kick A$$ Pants since H&M pants fit me really well. IF I buy them, what do I pair them with? A chunky sweater? I get it, but I hate those. Please advise on shirt and shoes. 

Me: 5'4", 120lbs, lives in the city, is not cool anymore (but apparently is still trying, oh bless your heart), can wear whatever I want all day because I am my own boss

Halp!

Sincerely,
Doesn't want to look like Sandy at the end of Grease

Dears Sans Sandy, 

No need for chunky sweaters here, there are a ton of great options whether you are feeling casual, ultra feminine, romantic, chic, or super trendy. Also for the sake of cheap shipping or ease of getting in and out of the store as quickly as possible I found you a bunch of options right there in H&M (This post is not sponsored by H&M, but I would happy to accept their sponsorship at anytime!)

Each of these tops can be worn alone with the pants, of course the jackets need a base layer...unless you are feeling extra brave. The U-shaped hem of the denim shirt (2), the drape-y  T-shirt (9) and the tank top (6) are incredibly flattering to the female shape. Tank #6 is one of my wardrobe staples, choose whatever colors work best for you and mix and match accordingly it is a great and flattering base layer.



  1. Simple Chic
  2. Lose the Leather Belt
  3. Tux Lux
  4. Flattering Floral
  5. Going Batty
  6. BUY THIS IN EVERY COLOR!
  7. Classic
  8. Hopeful Romantic
  9. Cute and Casual


Keep the great questions coming!

The Ultimate Mixed Neutral - Leopard!



I have an affinity for mixed neutrals and have been rocking black-brown combinations for over a decade, long before Gwyneth stepped out in it. Black, brown, grey, tan, cream, & white are just begging to be mixed by their very nature. If they go with anything, why not each other? By far, the ultimate mixed neutral is leopard print! There is fine line between a great leopard print, and a Nana or trashy leopard. Let’s explore...
