On the day I wore this outfit to the office, I had a (blog-related) phone interview with an editor in regards to something top secret that I can’t talk about… but that’s only because she wouldn’t elaborate and couldn’t reveal what it was for exactly. Even though I’d love to tell you what it was about I can’t, because I just don’t know myself. Anyway, I digress!
One of the questions I was asked was pretty much what my go-to uniform is, and I wasn’t sure at first. After a little deliberation I said that it’s probably coloured skinny jeans, a loose fitting top or shirt with a blazer and heels… I looked down whilst on the phone and realised I’d described exactly what I was wearing. Predictable, much??!
I’m sure your “uniform” is something that changes regularly over time, however, which is a good job otherwise we’d get stuck-in-a-rut with our wardrobes – I’m sure it would have been something completely different a year ago.
I’ll keep checking back on posts from a year ago just to make sure 😉
This weekend I’m up in London: seeing Mr. James McAvoy (in the flesh!) doing Macbeth on his last night in the West End. If he looks directly at me like he did last time I saw him in a play, I Won’t. Be. Able. To. Cope….!
Have a BRILLIANT weekend, whatever you’re doing or whoever you’re drooling over!!

I don't think there's anything wrong with having a go-to outfit formula- it's certainly working for you, you look great! And I wouldn't be able to cope with James McAvoy up close in person either. 🙂
So adorable, love those wedges too!
This look is FANTASTIC, Catherine. LOVE the purple pants, and the striped blazer.
I hope you'll keep an eye out on my blog later today. I'll be featuring this as one of the looks I love today.

Just the look I would be comfortable in wearing. The jacket is fabulous and love that lightning bolt ring. Did you say in your post where it is from? Would love to know.. xox
Gorgeous pair of wedge heels.. perfect staple for spring/summer. Love the stripe blazer too, a fresh take to the usual nautical ones.
Stop by my page and say, hi! sometimes 🙂

I hope whatever it is that your interview was about comes out to your extreme advantage. My uniform for the summer here looks to be heels, skinnies and a floaty but modest top against the triple digit heat that's on its way. You look lovely here, of course.
Love this combo – and love the background! What fabulous photos!
Love this. Your photos are always awesome! Thanks for sharing.

You look so good, I especially like, well, all of it, actually, ha ha! James McAvoy?!? Oh you are so lucky, I have a huge crush on him, he's so foxy. Do you have time to join Adrienne and me for "How I Wear My: Metallics"? You can send me a picture by April 30. We'd love to have you with us once again my dear! XO, Jill
I love your "uniform" and was interested to see that you have rolled up the bottom of your skinnies. Being vertically challenged, I might do this the next time I try on jeans or trousers and find they are too long – and see if it works for me! My uniform is similar in winter months (like now!) though I wear short-sleeved tops, linen trousers and ballerinas in the summer.
Very cute Catherine. Gorgeous hair, and love the braids, as ever!

Yum. James McAvoy. I'm not sure I have a uniform, apart from a penchant for tweed.
It's definitely a great uniform…an easy way to always look cute! I love coloured jeans on you…I don't really own any coloured jeans myself…but I do love the look!
