Do You Uniform?

The uniform is like a recipe for style: Never too much of any one thing; a consistent balance of things that work well together.
It's a philosophy for how we dress on days when time is not on our side. The idea offers a sense of calm for its simplicity, but don't mistaken the uniform for being boring. The choices are quite deliberate.
Take for instance a cashmere sweater you love to pair with jeans. Is it the jeans you love so much or the ease, comfort and versatility of the sweater that truly works? The sweater can be paired multiple ways: over a dress slung around your hips with a skirt and sneakers, or your classic pant ensemble.
The uniform eliminates the guesswork out of what works best together and actually allows you to be a bit more free with how you punctuate or accessorize your ensemble. Be a bit more playful with your shoes, a neck scarf or a women's wool hat. Accessorizing with a women's hat allows you to down-play or up-play your uniform. So don't let your wardrobe go stale. Go for it. Be predictable.
