Outfit inspiration: the uniform

 

Lately I've been sticking to a "uniform" of sorts; consisting of skinny jeans, a half-tucked slouchy blouse, booties or heels and my leather jacket.  It may sound a bit boring or staid to stick to one particular style, but as these pictures show—there can be many different ways to interpret a single look.  

Finding a "uniform" that suits your style can also make getting dressed a lot easier, and it can quickly become your signature.  Emmanuelle Alt (who is featured in the majority of these photos) is a prime example of this, and you can see how she's evolved and re-interpreted her look time and again for different occasions and seasons.

  3. I have a blouse-like jean shirt from Tibi and since moving to Paris, I wish I could wear it with my skinnies every day. I had no idea it was such a photographed look! Not being a fashion person, it makes me feel a bit better about my outfit choices as I try to fit into the Parisian look! Love your blog Caitlin!

  4. Thanks so much everyone! Re: kbh, it is THE Parisian look! Emmanuelle Alt is the editor-in-chief of French Vogue and totally embodies that "je ne sais quoi" effortless chic style. Go ahead and wear them everyday! :)

  6. I love this post! I am always guilty of wearing a "uniform" because it's easier to grab something you know looks good then go digging through your closet. I will definitely update my outdated uniform with this outfit!! It looks great and is so easy to accessorize when wanting something for a night out. Love it :)
