I keep reading about them, I keep seeing them, I keep on wishing for one. A uniform.
When I see a perfect outfit of normcore I’m wracked with envy, how has she done that? Looked so effortless and polished… I bet she didn’t struggle to put her clothes on this morning!
I believe now that I only, ‘think’ that I want a uniform.
The problem with things being uniformed is that they struggle to lead to any outlandish expressions and as you might remember from forever ago, I dress to my mood. I dress to an inner artist and she works from shapes, not colours and certainly not what might traditionally suit a six foot, plus size woman. If I told that inner artist that she had to colour within the lines (never my forte) she’d most likely stomp her feet, scrawl on the walls and would I be happy?
For a while perhaps, until the glitter wore off.
Instead I want to challenge you to create something different, I want you to consider how you dress as being a season of style.
The idea sprung from thinking about a post on designing a capsule wardrobe.
Recently I had been worried about my house. I went through it quickly to start and sometimes I worry, “what happens when the house is complete?”. For some that is the dream. To have a complete house, to feel whole, it’s enough. This I would consider to be happiness with an end result.
My inner artist, whether she’s pulling clothes or painting skirting boards isn’t happy with ‘content’. I realise this and so seasons came around . . . What if the way I wear my clothes is not a fixed, forever uniform but instead a season . . .
What do you think? Are you up for a season of style?
Absolutely – and I think you have to reevaluate who you are as each season passes – be it with the weather, or your age 🙂

This is all so true – I think I said earlier but the mess feels pretty reflective of everything going on at the moment – but I’m also so excited for AW16! Nothing like a non existent summer to make you think of the next season!

Yep you’ve hit it on the head why I struggle so much with the idea of a capsule wardrobe or uniform. I love your idea!
