I am really only a proponent of buying a piece that you are 100% happy with. That being said, I think grey is just as if not more versatile than black and is a great option if you can't get your hands on a black one. It can be dressed up or down just as much as black can. If you really want a black, hold out for it and you'll eventually find one though!Thoughts on the grey pearl crush? I really want the black one but my SA only had grey. How versatile is the grey? Is it too casual? And realistically, how hard will it be to find a black one?
