Sales Down as Sun Shines

Dress_3
I don't know if its sunny round your way, but I hung my washing up outside today! The stuffy warm weather we've been having feels more like we're in Asia than the UK. Which is bad news for shops, who have suffered a slump in their A/W collections. M+S, Next, Monsoon and New Look are some of the stores said to have been hit by the unseasonally warm weather. Grey has been partly blamed for poor sales saying women aren't attracted to the drab colour. Pah! Grey is just the colour for my sallow olive skin, and with a heap o' blusher I look much better than in black. Pictured above is a grey dress from Topshop, have you been staying away from grey? To tell you the truth, I'm in a t-shirt right now and I'm pretty toasty, but I can't wait to crack open the woolly tights!

I really love grey, it looks good on olive skins and as I didn't have to wear school uniform at school it helps me channel my inner schoolgirl! (not in a pervy way btw!)

I really like grey trousers, but can't wear grey near my face as I'm very pale and blonde and I just look washed out unless I accessorise with a bright scarf or necklace.

I love grey and have worn it every winter for years whether it's been 'in' or not. It's a smart alternative to black for work and I have a wool polo neck that I love but yes, it's been a bit warm for those here too.
