The Uniform
Honestly, there is something about winter that makes me want to wear pj's all day, everyday and not want to give a f**k. But I can't and I won't because being well dressed is a form of good manners after all and how you present yourself counts for a lot. I plan on doing the ultimate lazy girl's guide on getting dress but for now, let's just have a look at my uniform. My go-to pieces when I'm lazy or in a rush are always the same - a pair of skinny jeans, awesome shoes and a t-shirt topped with a leather jacket. Depending on my mood, I can dress it up with heels and a clutch or an ankle boot and a beanie like in this post here.
I kind of settled on my uniform by accident when I started subconsciously reaching for the same pieces over and over again. It's a matter of finding what items make you feel good and compliment your personal style. I love skinny jeans because the elongate my short legs. Also my leather jacket collection is something I'm happiest about in my wardrobe and I wear them with everything, jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, gowns. You name it and I'll top it off with a little moto jacket (LMJ!). That's just my personal style and my comfort zone.
If you don't have a uniform already, I urge you to take the time to find the items that compliment your body shape and personality and make you feel good,. You'll be happy you did, especially on the days you don't know what to wear.
