I’ve just recently made a personal uniform that is both comfortable, classic and “put together”. It consists of jeans, a tank or little tee, cardigan or (on really cold days in Milwaukee) a cute hoodie, a colorful scarf, and moccasins or flats. I always wear the claddagh ring my mom gave me, the St. Benedict’s medal my boyfriend gave me and when I need to be professional, a thick watch to cover the tattoo on my wrist.

Hair is usually pulled back in a pony, and I keep clean, simple makeup (eyeliner, mascara, concealer, and chapstick. Sweats and uggs are HUGE on my campus, and it gets sloppy a lot. It’s not a good look!!!

I’m a senior in high school and the uniform is soo dull.. black, grey, more black. So now that Falls just beginnng I’ve went for a Gossip Girl inspired look. Although I obviously have to wear the same uniform, I’ve added a different statement to my outfit each day.

One day I’ll wear black opaque tights, another day it will be black ribbed tights, and another it will be grey opaque tights. I’m not quite brave enough to wear the bright coloured tights yet, although I’ve saw a few girls try it out.

Since its getting colder I also add a scarf which looks great and keeps me warm!

I also experienced last winter that there’s just some days when it’s too cold to wear ballet pumps, so this year i invested in these cute ankle boots from Aldo; http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/boots/ankle-boots/75262072-stauffer/12

I recently bought a cream mac coat: neatral and warm, goes with everything!

Then of coarse not to forget a tote bag! I bought one from in the Betsey Johnson sale at the start of summer, then also bought some less expensive bags for days that i want a change in colour.

After being through years of school, getting up early to do make-up and make my hair look amazing, I eventually realised that there is no point in making that much effort to go sit in a classroom. So now, as my hairs naturally curly, i just wash it the night before, (my friends with naturally straight hair sleep with it in a ballet bun to give it a loose wave) tie it back in a loose, messy bun, hang down a few strands at the front, spritz of hairspray, add a brightly coloured hairband (my favorites at the moment are deep purple and red) and within minutes I look worthy of Blair Waldorf. Plus I get an extra hour or so in bed catching up with some beauty sleep!

Btw, even though the blogs are for college girls, I have also learnt a lot from them, thanks! :) xoxo

Good point! There’s so many good examples of celebrities who are known for their makeup and hair – Jennifer Aniston, Edie Sedgwick, the late Farrah Fawcett, etc. Another post on signature hair and makeup would be awesome!

Don’t forget hair! Part of Blair Waldorf’s uniform is definitely her big curls & headbands. For me, the thing people notice & sets me apart is my hair color (a natural sort of blonder-strawberry-blonde) so I like to wear my hair down a lot.
A separate post about signature hair & makeup styles for your personal uniform would be great!

This is a great article! The older I get, the more I find that I should spend my money on investment pieces instead of trends. While spending $200 at forever21 may be fun, in the long run a high-quality, classic piece is much better. I also find organizing by type of clothes is better than color. Organization is key to saving morning dress-stress! I love this idea of a personal uniform, I will give it a go! Thank you!
