While color may not be the answer to adding some "zip" to how you feel on a grey day it can actually affect the mood of those who have to look at you!
Trust me, when you take public transportation or you have to walk through herds of people downtown to get to wherever you're going... a pop of color can be a welcoming change of scenery to the dead pan faces of those who are not particularly happy with the current change in season! Plus we all know what it's like when everyone at work is dressed for a funeral and no one died. It rubs off at some point.
Perhaps adding a little color like a bright pashmina (knits are big this fall) or colorful purse can put some punch to the all black look you've been sporting. My sure-fire way of doing this is to dig into the shoe closet and wear the ones I've neglected because they don't "match" anything.. well that all black look goes with everything! Personally, the "throwing in some color" actually works for me because I respond to other people's smiles rather than long faces, don't you think?
And if all else fails, comfort food is really the fool-proof way of warming up the grey in no time at all. One of my personal favorites is Pho. So last night I decided to make my own version which turned out spicy as all hell but extremely comforting and so simple.
Here's a good pho recipe if you're into trying yourself from the Steamy Kitchen:
