Uniform Dressing [View all]

I have saved so much time and so much money by paring down my closet

3 pairs of pajamas, black jersey white piping
2 black ribbed t shirts
3 black cropped pants
3 long sleeved black button down rayon blouses
3 black sweaters
1 black trench coat
1 black wool coat
2 black pencil skirts
2 black sweatpants
2 black hoodies
1 black blazer

Black boots
Black pumps
Black flats
Black Chuck Taylors

Pearl studs and necklace

I can do just about anything. It's so austere, but it's all I need at the moment and I don't need to buy anything until something wears out. And I don't spend ANY time thinking about what I'm going to wear. Totally efficient.

The big argument against a uniform is that it is boring.
And it's true. It is boring.
So you look for your entertainment elsewhere.

Do you do this too? Do people joke about your uniform? Do they notice?
