@Nic – I agree, we often associate a uniform with looking like everyone else and becoming indistinguishable, but a uniform can just be personal and about having a very particular style, and I see nothing wrong with that.

@ The Spanish Lady – I love your idea of spicing up your uniform with accessories and different shoes – what an easy way to get dressed quickly but still make your look singular and exciting every day!

@Sassy Molassy – the brand is “Younique Jeans”, I didn’t mention it because I got them at TJMaxx years ago, so I don’t know how you’d find them. But an online search might prove successful… good luck!

I don’t have a sewing machine or much DIY talent, but lots of people have complimented me on the slits in the front and I imagine it could be a simple enough DIY job with an older pair of jeans! If anyone of you try it, I’d love to see the results!

The uniform is a tough thing to get past. It often makes me second guess trying a cool look that i see on someone else or in a mag because it doesn’t match my more classic look. But i think forcing ourselves to step outside our comfort zone is a good thing.

I do have a uniform for the evert day life, which consists on a pair of jeans and sweaters in winter and on a pair of jeans and t-shirts or shirts when is not that cold plus stilettos or flats, depending on my moot and how much do I have to walk that day.

But, in order to avoid the idea of the non- glamorous uniform, I try to change it every day by adding earrings, bracelets, scarfs, necklaces and brooches (I don’t know if it is the right English word).

And, the most important, I try to make work for me the incredible ideas you three gave us via this amazing blog. Congratulations!

I think the idea of a uniform is distasteful because of the connotations of looking like everyone else. I’m not sure that there’s anything wrong with looking like yourself every day though.

For me, wardrobe_remix and blogging about what I’m wearing has helped me to push the boundaries of my uniform and inspired me to experiment or wear those things I often ignore in my closet that are not quite part of my uniform. I’m still very uniform-oriented and will likely continue to shop around that uniform, but I think that’s OK (for me, anyway) because it’s what I’m most comfortable in. And I feel like there are ways to make a uniform look different and interesting just by remixing.
