I have always said to people that if they issued a uniform at my place of work, I’d be ecstatic.

In the absence of that, I have my own version of wearing a uniform: skirts, crewneck sweaters, twinsets, and a necklace. In colors that mix and match.  I have a uniform for weekends too: dark denim, turtlenecks, a jacket. It’s just easier. If they had Giranimals for adults, I’d sign up.

Here’s an interesting article from the New York Times that talks about powerful men who wear the same thing all the time- a prime example is Mark Zuckerberg – in his gray t-shirt and denim (hoodie optional).

“Dressed in his usual gray T-shirt, Mr. Zuckerberg offered a rationale that was equal parts Zen and Type A. “I’m in this really lucky position where I get to wake up every day and help serve more than a billion people,” he said. “I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything, except how to best serve this community.”

I love that idea of reducing the number of decisions you need to make so that you can focus on what really matters….could you?
