Stage 2 of letting my hair go grey now completed. I have had all my "warm" lowlights cooled down to a cool ash, and very pale silver highlights blended in with the grey which was threatening to break through!
DH says it actually makes my face look "younger" (clever man) but I am now looking at my wardrobe and thinkng about which colours will suit me best. I fear any beige/camel/tan things will not do me any favours, but look forward to " rediscovering" monochrome winter clothes, bright crisp red, white and blue (no not the Union Jack) . Purple and deep pink will also be fine but I think pastels might be for the charity bag.
Oh and I need to look out my lippy!
Have you changed what you wear, especially near your face, at all as your hair colour has "matured" at all?

Thank you , memo to self, keep the glasses on, they help hide the wrinkles!
(I am shocked at how quickly it has gone white, using Pro-Voke silver shampoo and conditioner to tone down any last blonde. )

It' lovely Alea, I wish mine was all one colour. I won't put colour on it though as most of them irritate my scalp.

I prefer to call mine silver, though it hasn't completely gone at the back.
