I have mentioned before that I have a few uniforms
throughout the year that help me get dressed quickly and with very little fuss,
while still having a fun wardrobe full of variety.
My favorite uniform for the past few years has been a knee-length a-line skirt with a top and ballet flats. It's great for summer because it's EASY and cool. I prefer flowy tops rather than stiff fabrics, which means they don't cling to the skin or get all damp when I get in the hot car. Most of my tops have sleeves with tabs so I can roll them up into short-sleeved tops when necessary, so it's like I have a jacket built right into my top!
This summer, thanks to the ankle fracture, I will be changing up the shoes a bit for days where I'll be doing a lot of walking. I'm wearing the Sketchers sandals around the house to see if they'll work (so far there's a little chafing on my left big toe), but I really like how they look and they're cushy! The cute sneakers haven't arrived yet, but I look forward to trying them out!

Here are a few examples of outfits fitting this uniform pattern:
 |
| top: again from Beall's skirt: Rekucci (Amazon) |
 |
| top: Ross skirt: Rekucci shoes: Bandolino (Amazon - color no longer available) |
I love those sleeves, and blue always looks nice in warmer weather.
 |
| t-shirt: Amazon (it says "herbivore") skirt: Rekucci (Amazon) - of course! bag: Target |
Here's a very similar outfit; it's just a different t-shirt.
I wore this on vacation in Minnesota.
It was a hot, outside sort of day.
 |
| t-shirt: Amazon skirt: I think you already know! |
Of course, we all need some summer accessories!
 |
| top: Ross hat: Macy's sunglasses: (prescription, frame from DKNY) |
Here's my lounging by the water outfit:
 |
| t-shirt: Target (Minnesota pride!) shorts: Ross bandana (in hair): Target |
Do you have a summer uniform?
