I talked about uniforms that we sometimes adapt in our personal styles. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I purchased this dress over a year ago in several different colors because I knew it would work well for summer outings. This particular styling/formula is a rather easy one. To be honest, it takes little effort and allows your shoes to do most of the talking. The dress is sort of a backdrop to the accessories. The only caveat is that I must stay in shape, and that doesn’t always go as it should. It can do me well to lay off of a few Haggen-Das ice cream bars, they have been my kryptonite as of late.

Other than the fitness issue, the real beauty about uniforms is that when properly selected they can help to hide any flaws you would rather hide. you’ve done the due diligence and now know that this dress code works to potentially capture your best self and you can just swap the article of clothing with different color options and prints. The last tidbit is that a one piece is always a better alternative. Why you may ask? Well that’s because it leaves only the shoes and accessories to be decided upon. Two pieces are great but they require a little more styling prowess.

What about you? What are some of the things that you often find yourself gravitating towards?
