Do you have a uniform? You know, your look. The tried-and-true basics from your closet. I just looked at my I'd Wear This Pinterest board and laughed because it's basically the same outfit over and over again. I mean, I like and appreciate fashion, but I'm not a slave to it. I wish they had runway shows for gals who primarily shop at Forever 21, Ann Taylor Loft and Target. People who literally never have an occasion for an evening gown and just want to see cute ways to wear sweaters and leggings. You know?
Here are the elements of my uniform.
- JEANS I'm lucky that I don't need to get gussied up for work, so I live in jeans and jeggings. Blue, black, white.
- BOOTS Once it gets a little chilly, I'll live in boots. Knee high, mid-calf, faux Uggs.
- CARDIGANS I love long cardigans, primarily without buttons, though my sister just got me a boyfriend sweater from J.Crew that I'm loving.
- NECKLACES I heart costume jewelry. Love doing a pop of color with beaded necklaces and layering thin metal strands of varying lengths.
- BLOUSES Flowy tops hide areas people don't need to see while being cute and stylish. I can indulge in my love of pattern here too.
- FLATS I live in my Steve Madden patent leather and leopard print flats.
- BLAZERS If I'm not wearing a cardigan, I'm wearing a blazer. Black, gray, tan. Sleeves rolled up.
- SCARVES Obsessed with scarves. Obsessed.
- TEES If see a cool design or an '80s concert shirt, I literally can't help myself. I'm probably getting too old for this, but I don't care.
That about sums it up. Now, at home it's a different story. I'm all about the lounge wear: Yoga pants, hoodies, fleece jackets, Converse sneakers. I just don't have the energy to do anything past that. What are some of your favorite things to wear? Any new trends you're loving?
