Zeroing in on my uniform styles more and more... I've found the types of outfits I favor, and now I need to wear a few types a week so things don't get *too* uniform.
 
Skinny jeans and sweater or tee, bonus for stripes. Long sleeved, printed dresses (I only wear prints if they cover my tattoos, so I don't clash), especially sheathes. Shirt-dresses. Full knee or midi skirts with a t-shirt or thick sweater, no girly tops. Anything girly (dresses, skirts, lace) needs to be balanced with a more masculine shoe or sweater. Anything too masculine or androgynous needs a bit of sparkle, a red lip, or ballet flats, etc. I like to find that balance!
 
I also find that sticking to my "known colors" has made my closet really versatile.

Finally, the right weather and the right occasion to wear this dress. Winery dinner last week. A friend said "Your earrings are perfect, because bugs love flowers!" Glad someone understands me... A messy/poufy updo and smoky eyes made it less girly, just right.

So cold inside, so hot outside - the eternal summer struggle in the AC office.

Found a nice short-sleeved cashmere cardigan at the clothing trade-in when I dumped off umpteen pounds of clothes. Getting closer to the move, less and less stuff - I love it!
 
Can't recall the make of this tee, which was also second-hand.

Thanks to @keelyhenesey for the inspiration! I guess it's pretty clear what my color story is...
 
Just thinking, if this is the minimum, twice this would be a real luxury. I like the way capsule wardrobes make me think about what I own.

I got the Walkyrie lip pencil and the God Created Woman palette yesterday. I think I finally found my "your lips but better" lip color... It's somehow dark, but not bold. Wearing the lightest two colors from the palette, and just generally pleased with the make-up today.
 
Similar scarf.
