Uniformly Stylish

Go outside. Look around you. Find the women. What are they wearing?

(Hint: The same exact thing)

Over the past few months, I have come to notice an unspoken "uniform" that most stylish New York women sport, especially in the winter months. Though never explicitly stated, the women in my neighborhood buy the same brands, the same items, and–quite often–the same color. While some would think this makes them look like clones, the real effect is that I secretly want to go out and get all those things to look just like them.

The Uniform
-Longchamp bag
-Burberry quilted coat
-manicured nails

Yes, these things are all expensive, and I realize that the sampling I've taken of the women in my neighborhood is probably not representative of the average population. But, it's fun to fantasize, and it gives me things to try on (just for fun) when I go into Bloomingdale's.
