The rain poses such a challenge - weirdly I like dresses and skirts better than pants in the rain because if stockings get wet they dry really fast - jeans not so much. And I hear you on the shoe situation - I'm always spraying my boots with leather protector and hoping for the best! Thanks for sharing your a-ha moment. I hadn't thought about where I start when I get dressed and what item I base my outfits around . . . interesting . . . My wardrobe doesn't vary much in spring/summer. Dresses and skirts on repeat, in cotton and silk. Wedge heels and sandals. Can't wait to see what the warmer months bring to your uniform and your blog - I love all the local resources you post! re: Hairstory. Hmm. My hair took about 7 days/3 washes to "adjust" to the formula, which I attributed to finally getting all the product buildup out of my hair. I also figured out that I needed to wet my hair thoroughly to begin with. Standing under the shower for 15 seconds like normal wasn't enough. I lift my (very fine, not-that-much-to-it) hair from the root in sections and make sure the water gets down to the scalp. It takes about 1 min for the hair to get really drenched. Then I slather on 3 pumps/silver dollar's worth of New Wash. Massage massage massage. Comb through the ends with a wide toothed-comb. Then I leave it in for 5 min then rinse out really really well. Hopefully those tips will help it work better for you, there was a little learning curve for me. I will say my hair is more textured and healthier after using it for 3 months, but I also dig a messy/natural hair look (which could just feel to other people like dirty hair). I tell myself it looks more french ;)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://seasons-and-salt.com/2017/02/24/style-study-road-uniform-5-tips/#comment-6139">Andrea</a>.</p> <p>The rain poses such a challenge – weirdly I like dresses and skirts better than pants in the rain because if stockings get wet they dry really fast – jeans not so much.

Hi Joy, so glad you're here! It's definitely not simple, but I try! Yes, I got this dress in the winter, but I love how it wears on its own, it's my preferred shape (shift/loose) and I think it will be awesome to wear in the summer. It's machine washable (and then line dry) so it's pretty low maintenance! The fabric is tencel, and it is woven and sturdy, unlike a jersey fabric which stretches and could pill.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://seasons-and-salt.com/2017/02/24/style-study-road-uniform-5-tips/#comment-6179">Joy</a>.</p> <p>Hi Joy, so glad you’re here!

Thank you! It takes way less time & effort to stick with a simple base. The boots I stick with in winter are Aquatalia. They are Italian leather shoes and they are weatherproof. I've had the good fortune of finding one pair at Value Village for $6 & another at Nordstrom Rack for $60. After owning both through Portland's fall/winter, I would recommend the brand. I know that they typically run upwards of $450, but it may be worth browsing around and trying to find a pair for less. I wear them all day for teaching and my feet stay comfortable.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://seasons-and-salt.com/2017/02/24/style-study-road-uniform-5-tips/#comment-6161">Andrea</a>.</p> <p>Thank you!

That is so smart Cat, the cohesiveness of your base is the key to not feeling 'out of hand' or hard style when you add the layers. That makes so much sense! That probably explains why I tend to gravitate toward simpler options in the colder months. Because you can make a complex look with lots of simple layers. But things can feel like 'too much' when I start combining lots of unique items. I love it, great insights! I'd also love to know about your waterproof leather boots!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://seasons-and-salt.com/2017/02/24/style-study-road-uniform-5-tips/#comment-6152">Cat</a>.</p> <p>That is so smart Cat, the cohesiveness of your base is the key to not feeling ‘out of hand’ or hard style when you add the layers.

"Did you ever find pants?" will be the title of my memoir. Ha! But really, thanks for asking! I thrifted a pair of what I'm calling "soft pants," which are essentially joggers that I can wear hitched up high or low and slouchy. I'm pretty pleased with them although they're not of the best quality, so I'll be keeping an eye out for alternatives. Maybe the ES Florence pants are in my future? Right now I'm enrolled in a really cool style course that is all about inside-out congruency. I'm learning a lot about the science of dressing - proportions, colors, my body measurements, etc - while also tapping into the feelings and stories I associate with clothing. It's one part therapy, one part practical guide, and I'm loving it. I'm also taking an informal shopping break during this time so that I can assimilate all I've learned and all I want to apply at the end. I don't think there will be a drastic transformation, but I have high hopes that my style at the end will truly reflect who I am and who I want to be. xo]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://seasons-and-salt.com/2017/02/24/style-study-road-uniform-5-tips/#comment-6146">Andrea</a>.</p> <p>“Did you ever find pants?” will be the title of my memoir.
