No More Yoga Pants: How to Dress Like a French Woman – I have yet to be a victim of yoga pants (expect when I’m actually doing yoga or pilates), but I find myself wearing Nike Women's Running Tempo Track ShortsNike running shorts (affiliate link because they are necessary) and old sorority tshirts almost exclusively outside of work.  How much longer would it take me to put on jeans, flats, and better shirt?  Not long at all.

Finding Good Information on the Internet – a bit like my post on why Google doesn’t always have the answer, this article points the non-librarian/research in the correct direction when it comes to finding reliable scientific information on the web.

I loved the article about dressing like a Frenchwoman. I won’t claim to be the most stylish person ever, but I try to dress well for the most part, and always when I’m leaving the house. I have a “uniform” of sorts, usually consisting of nice tailored jeans and a sweater or nice blouse (in the winter) and a tank top + cardigan or nice t-shirt (in the summer). I pay attention to my shoes and bag (and hair!) and feel like most of the time I look pretty classy!

I have a uniform of sorts too! And it sounds remarkable similar to yours. 🙂

I’ve got plenty of good clothes, but I tend to buy cheap shoes and bags. I think my next step is to save up and buy a few really good pairs of shoes and an awesome bag I can get a lot of use out of.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. That lemon cake looks amazing! 🙂

I think we all have our uniforms that we’re comfortable in. Lately I’ve started taking it up a notch too – it boosts the self esteem! 😉
