I've noticed this about myself. I have lots of clothes, but they are almost all variations on the same theme.
So I guess this is my "uniform" (for work):
--a monochrome twin-set
--black pants
--heels
In the warm weather, the twin-set is usually light-weight and 3/4 sleeve.
In the winter it's in the form of a sweater set with long sleeves.
I don't wear twin-sets every day, but a few times a week. It might be a shirt or a one-piece sweater or maybe a blazer some days. But it's a pretty good bet that if I don't have a twin set on today, I'll be wearing one tomorrow. If I feel particularly daring on a given day, I'll wear the shell from one twin set with the cardigan of another twin set, and they will be different colors!!!
I might go crazy and wear dark brown, dark grey, or pinstripe pants, maybe khakis on Fridays, but they're all pretty much the same.
In the warm weather, the heels are pumps or sling-backs. In winter it's boots with spikey heels. On Fridays it might be something with lower heels.
The funny thing is, I get compliments all the time form people at work. So even though I know I'm wearing the same "theme" every day, no one really seems to think I look the same day to day.
How about you? what's your unofficial uniform?
Dark wash denim, heels, feminine top or tailored shirt when I want to be sporty. Casual, comfortable. I feel I look pretty pulled together when I go out. I used to do a jacket with it, but I think that looks a little like you're trying to hard too be "hip" if you're middle aged. IJS.
@TracySam, Never gave it a thought until I saw your post. Yep, I fall in that category. I am retired, but before that it was scrubs, & Z-coils (shoes) ... 5 days a week. I DID have the liberty of colors & prints though. Now, in winter it is sweats & a T-shirt with a cardigan type jacket. (layering I guess) Summer it is capris or knee pants & T shirt. Denim & elastic waists!! Most of my T-shirts have a logo of some sort since I purchase them on trips. Sundays I try to put on a dressier pant-suit for church. Trips into town or eat out locally, I upgrade to jeans. Same selection of T-shirts. Shoes are supportive walkers, sandals & a pair of flip flops for in house. I really sound like a slob...
Retirement wardrobe for me, in the colder months, has been jeans, tee or woven shirt, and some sort of sweater.
I do get sick of jeans at the end of winter.
In the summer, it is capris and tees.
One of my favorite looks right now is a tee, a lightweight wool cardi and a jean jacket over jeans. The jean jacket should not match the jeans. I have a teal green leather cross over bag that I think looks very good with these things.
