Style Over 40: Out the Door With Panache With 5 Effortless Uniform Ideas

Today was the perfect fall day; a cloudy mid 60’s high with a little breeze to toss the leaves around…you bet I had a kick in my step! Feeling a bit of denim overload from the past few weeks, today seemed like the perfect day to pull on my ribbed cashmere skirt and booties. A multi-tasking skirt, I opted to pair her up with one of my favorite knit staples, a bell sleeve cashmere pullover. This cool weather uniform can be worn multiple ways. Simply add a faux fur vest, plaid or printed scarf, topper, blazer, cape or wrap…the possibilities are endless! Going with today’s cozy theme, I opted to add a fur infinity scarf that I picked up a few weeks ago at the Cashmere Sale in Burlingame.

 

Why Have a Few Uniforms on Hand?

Having a few ensembles like the one I wore today can make getting out the door each morning painless. If you travel for work or often, everyday uniforms make packing painless. I strive to assemble a few basic uniforms each week, as to not get hung up in the “I have nothing to wear” moment that can occur when we don’t plan ahead.
