As I make my way back into a career...
I am spending more and more of my days in my studio...
So I am in the process of adopting some 'studio uniforms'...
quick go to outfits that require no 'pre thought'...
but that I can still feel pulled together... like the creative professional I am.
I need 'uniform's that are functional for the studio...
but can be easily 'upgraded' to still feel polished designer
when I am out and about...
To accomplish these dual needs
from one outfit...
I have adopted 'uniforms' consisting of
~ my beloved white jeans plus a tunic of some sort...
creating a wardrobe base that is functional at work...
but can quickly be transformed
with
the power
of well chosen accessories...
Todays tunic is from Antrhopoligie
(sold as a dress)
but for my functional and age needs...
I have layered it over my favorite denim shirt..
and added my white jeans...
making for an
exceedingly functional work outfit....
to which in a flash...
I can add my love of accessories...
and leave the house
as stylish designer...
all because of the transformative power of
accessories...
... by the simple addition of
~ a scarf
~ a straw bag (mine is from Africa, via the antique market)
~ sunglasses (usually I opt for the sans makeup schedule)
~ a great shoe (I always have a heel and a flat in mind
for each 'Uniform')
~ a jacket (weather permitting)
and
of course perhaps some custom statement jewelry....
.... my white pump search took me from high end to low brow....
in search of the perfect WEARABLE pump....
from Neiman's all the way down the shoe food chain to....
of all places...
payless...
payless...
I found shoes that can actually withstand some hours...
and all for a tiny song of a price.
.... oh and the huge
transformative powers of
a statement necklace!
as always my dear friends
I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
