Do you have thoughts on how to vary these uniforms day-to-day without owning too many duplicate items? I find myself wearing LITERALLY the same uniform at school drop-off most mornings 😅

I have to admit that I wear the same thing every day too for childcare pick-up 😂 But if I were to switch it up - a different coat or jacket feels like a big change, or even switching up things like a bag or your earrings x

Very intriguing idea! But for people like me who works in the office 5-days a week, do we pick 5 version of the same outfit (I.e., office attire) so that we don’t wear the same cloths everyday?

Yes!! That’s a great idea - means that you’ve got something fresh for everyday x

Love the cords!! I found a secondhand pair and worried about fit- how did you find the sizing?

Sizing is generous! I wear a US 6 (which is a U.K. 10) and I’m usually a UK12 x

I just bought those M&S claret cords so this is PERFECT timing! 👏🏻

Oh perfect timing! Let us know how you get on with them - I've just recommended them to a friend x

Super true to size and glorious colour, but I got the long length and they’re juuuust long enough (I’m 5’9”) so any super tall girlies may struggle! Was fully inspired by your cords from last year & can’t wait to wear!!

Revisiting this post to ask how the Reformation cashmere wears? Does it pill much?

So inspired by this! Having a go-to look for most of life's events is also such a smart way to avoid impulse shopping. You know you have what you need for most things already in your wardrobe.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for particularly in regards to comfortable, but put together work from home outfits! Thank you for sharing this inspo!

Stupid question but are you doing the childcare run soon then going home and getting changed? I just wear the one outfit all day usually rather than a special outfit for the school gate

Loved that, got some great ideas from it. Glad I found you on Substack!
