I don't mean medic/police officer/flight attendant uniform. I mean stylish clothes that suit me that I can wear most days without really thinking about it. I briefly fixated on this idea 5 years ago after reading a magazine interview with Charlotte Gainsbourg and saw how great she looked in a really well cut plain white shirt and trousers. OK, she's Charlotte Gainsbourg, but you get the idea.
So then my uniform was going to be well-cut trousers and white Tshirt (not Gap). I didn't wear it every day, but within a few weeks the Tshirt had a tomato sauce stain that wouldn't come out and the trousers were baggy round the bum area. I know this doesn't happen to Charlotte!! But WHY NOT?
Fast forward 5 years: I now have 2 DC, including an 8 month old in the midst of BLW. White Tshirts are Jackson Pollocks waiting to happen. But I still crave a "look" that I can put together quickly every morning without thinking and look reasonably good, instead of a wardrobe full of mismatched shite from H&M etc.
Anyone with me? And/or any suggestions for said uniform?
