In high school, we had to wear uniforms. Not the cute, Catholic-school kind, mind you. Skirts were below the knees, khakis had to be purchased from Dockers, and the polo shirts only unbuttoned around the neck area. Struggle City was my style.

But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve grown to like uniforms. Not the kind from boarding school…but the kind that makes getting dressed easier in the mornings. The kind that starts to define you as a blogger.

I’m not wearing one here - but I’ve learned that scarves are one of mine. I wear them with just about everything (more on how I saved a life with my scarf next week) I didn’t realize they were such a big part of my wardrobe until people started telling me they’d bought a scarf and wanted tips on how to style it. Apparently, Julien loves scarves. (Yes, yes I do.)

This summer, I’ve gravitated towards a simple, yet classic uniform. Jeans and a tee. I’m not saying this is some big revelation - it’s a timeless look that’s been around since, well, forever it seems. Bit nevertheless, it’s become my summer go-to.

Today, I styled my favorite pair of Paige frayed-hem denim with a plain white tank…but instead of my usual sneakers and half bun, I threw on a pair of edgy heels and a red bag. And I don’t usually gravitate towards a lot of color, I like to bend my own rules every now and then. ;)

Also how fun are these photos? They were taken by two of my good friends, Erin and Luke! Erin will actually be photographing Blogger Scene tonight, so if you haven’t bought your ticket, there’s still time! Tickets are $15, but to be honest, if there was an event that cost a million dollars that Erin would be at, I’d totally go. Like, if I had that kind of money. Because she’s worth it.
