I can’t remember the last time I wore my skinny jeans on the weekend. It’s just been too hot lately to be confining your body to clothing that hug and snug. In fact, just the thought of squeezing myself into my black jeggings is making me sweat. 

For this, my easy-breezy cotton dresses have been worn and washed to death. So much so I can almost hear the threads and seams cry “give me a rest!” whenever I pull them out to wear (often right out of the washing machine). 

To add, the heat also makes me stylistically lazy. On weekends (without the freezing office air-conditioning) I don’t feel like putting much thought into what bottom to match with the top. Voila! These dresses come to the rescue again cos while I’m lethargic, the dresses are punchy, playful and full of fresh flower prints. (You can always count on a pretty bouquet to transform your mood!)

The only thing is, every Saturday and Sunday, I’m wearing one of the same three dresses I have on rotation. Does this make me look lazy? Or could this be what a “uniform” look is all about? 

Karl Lagerfeld for instance, is only ever seen in an immaculate suit-skinny-tie-and-high-collar combo. Perfection! And it happens to be his uniform. 

My humble cotton dresses are in my own life perfection too – especially on hot sunny days. And hey, if the formula ain’t broke, it’s an excuse to shop for more of the same! 

What’s your weekend uniform? And more importantly, have you perfected it?
