God, I love uniforms

I was just on Rebecca's blog (one of my total favorites - she is just solid, I tell you) checking out her outfit post, when I remembered how I have always been so drawn to uniforms. I could do a whole blog about uniforms! But I am not. A few posts maybe. Oh, uniforms, why do I love you so? Mechanic suits, maid's attire, acupuncturist coats, military of all eras, and yes, Catholic school uniforms. And no, I did not go to Catholic school, although many thought I did when I was in college because of my whole look (no make up, straight, long evenly cut hair, always in sweats or... pleated skirts and button down white shirts). Above is the unbelievable uniform of the impossibly beautiful flight attendants of Air Tahiti Nui, my favorite airline. I mean they have fake Gaugins on the wall, they only fly to L.A., Paris, Tahiti, and Toyko (what more do I need, please?!), they serve sushi, and their flight attendants are all straight out Mutiny on the Bounty dressed in yes, Balenciaga - ONE OF MY FAVORITE DESIGN HOUSES EVER. Oh, and did I mention they change outfits twice in flight? Oh, I didn't I mention that?

  2. I love uniforms for prep school boys. Penny loafers with no socks, khaki pants, wrinkly shirt, skinny tie, and one dashing blue blazer.

  3. Oh, that was worth waiting for. But your outfit today was BETTER. Did you take photos?

  4. Oh, skinny ties... No outfit photos, but I must get in a rhythm with my photographer/philosopher.

  5. i have always loved a man in a uniform! i remember when my uniform was khakis and a tshirt (black or white) and tennis shoes (white), i think it clears the mind to think of other things...like art and creativity. love ur post!!

  6. Your outfits weren't the only reason why people thought you were Catholic schoolgirly. It was your sense of purpose, your calm intelligence, your (perceived at least) asceticism. But the outfits were part of it too. This blog is the bomb.

  7. Wow, thank you, Maureen. You got me to look up "asceticism". Now, I think I have an ascetic attitude mixed with an appearance of decadent accessorizing. Could it be true?

  8. Yes. Also, the Native American cowboys under an overcast sky are the bomb. I am so glad you are one of them.
