I never went to a school growing up that had uniforms, and I'm sure I would have bitched endlessly if I did, but now I sort of wish I had a uniform. I don't work at a particularly fashion-forward office, so I find little reward in picking out something to wear to work besides clothes... that cover me... that are business casual... that don't make me bummed because they comprise such a terribly terrible outfit.
But Steve Jobs got me thinking... what if I had a uniform? I got really excited and picked it out...

I went to a school with a uniform and I did bitch endlessly--long skirt that stopped right at my knees (really, not like, 4 inches above) and a square blouse with a rounded collar and a big boxy blazer. That said, my take on uniforms changed when I read that coco chanel only had 10 outfits in her closet at one time. Time is precious, I don't want to waste it thinking about what to wear! I'm serious.
ReplyDeleteI know. I wish I were a lady with a well-edited closet. I just went through my clothes last night and put lots in a giveaway pile and still have too much life, none of which seems "quite right." I would pay someone to severely edit my closet if they could promise me I'd always look good.
