[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do this but it’s stretch ponte pants, flats in summer and boots in winter, a long cardigan or silk jacket-y thing and a scarf or a necklace. Sometimes a shell and sometimes a turtleneck when it’s really cold. I have very light, loose weave cardigans for hot days.

It’s pretty close to what Elizabeth Warren wears but I am fat so I prefer a longer cardigan over her more structured, shorter jackets.

It’s like a suit but more comfortable, and it’s terrific for air travel.

I almost never wear a skirt or heels unless I’m at a meeting in a hotel, where I don’t have to go outside. But, I’m really tall and I know some shorter women like the height boost from heels. And obviously I’m not a litigator or anything. But I find with this outfit and a scarf I’m formal enough for most settings. [/quote]

Thank you for mentioning Elizabeth Warren who is a much better example of the uniform philosophy than Pelosi. That is so clearly what she is doing. I think all her shells are black as well as the pants and the only variation is the color of the jacket.[/quote]

Jackets are the most expensive part, so for those of us on budgets, its easier to swap out the shell/blouse and just have a few jackets.

I'm now over 50 and not as thin as I once was, and I've found one style of ponte pants from Talbots, and a particular blouse from Ann Taylor works for me. Bonus that the blouses are all washable but don't have that awful look. I generally wear with cardigans in the winter.  I have a couple of fancy suit jackets for when I need to be more formal, which isn't often.  However, right now, I'm in the office but we have no in person meetings, so it's washable chinos (again from Talbots -- they fit me), washable blouse and good eye makeup (as we're in masks a lot).
