Hello there! I'm Fernanda, and in this
video i'm going to show you how you can
save time getting dressed every morning.
I read an article recently that said
that the average woman spends 17 minutes
each day picking an outfit to wear.
WHAT? 17 minutes a day is a huge waste of
your time. That's almost like two hours a
week, and trust me,
you have way more important things to do
with your time than standing in your
underwear each day
deciding what to wear. So in this video
I''m gonna show you how you can bring
that down to five minutes per day by
identifying and embracing your personal
uniform,
also known as your signature look, your
style uniform,
or your main outfit formula. And if we're
meeting for the first time and you're
interested in creating a wardrobe that
you love without having to buy a million
things to do so
then consider subscribing. You can hit

So what even is a personal uniform? A
personal uniform is an outfit that you
can go to over and over again that makes
you feel your best
works for many occasions and it's very
easy to wear and replicate.
The most obvious example that people
think of when I mention a personal
uniform
is with all of the men in Silicon Valley
most notably Steve Jobs
and Mark Zuckerberg, but the truth is it
is just as common in women
except done far more creatively and with
more style.
I will show you some examples in a
minute. Now, by no means
am I saying that you should wear the
exact same thing every day. Far from it!
And I personally wouldn't do that
either, but it is likely that you already
have a personal uniform but you just
haven't identified it quite like that
yet,
and by doing so and embracing it you can
save a lot of time
and mental energy getting dressed every
morning. First
let me show you some examples of some
great personal uniforms from women that
have drastically different styles.
My personal favorite, as I mentioned in
my personal style video
is Anna Wintour the editor-in-chief of
Vogue magazine
her personal uniform consists of a mini
dress
high heeled pumps and oversized
sunglasses the exact elements change day
to day
but the outfit formula remains pretty
much the same and
similarly in the fashion world we have
Carolina Herrera
hers consists of a structured
button-down white blouse
an a-line skirt and oversized earrings
but this
isn't only common with women in fashion
it is also very common with women in
politics and government
two very different examples are Hillary
Clinton,
who usually wears a pantsuit in any
color with a blouse underneath to match
and pointy toe shoes and Queen Elizabeth
who usually wears a patterned dress
with an overcoat and a hat in a color
that matches
black shoes and if it's raining an
umbrella with a color that matches as
well
and another two of my favorite examples
are Marie Kondo
an a-line skirt or dress often worn with
black tights with black shoes
and Ellen Degeneres who wears straight
leg pants
a button-down shirt a jacket or blazer
on top
and sneakers. Notice that for none of
these women doesn't mean that they wear
the exact same thing every day
instead that the elements of their
personal style remain as they say,
uniform. And it also really helps that
the elements of these personal uniforms
remain pretty
timeless so sure, the cuts may change a
little bit but it shouldn't be difficult
to find these particular elements in
five or ten years from now and frankly
at any price point
so let me know in the comments below
which one of these six is your favorite
or if you have another one that you like
best
so how can you apply this to your
wardrobe as i mentioned before you
probably already have a personal uniform
but you haven't zeroed in on the details
yet
if you need to do this you can do one of
two things first
you can look at your three favorite
outfits meaning the ones that you wear
the most often and you feel the most
comfortable in
and see if you can spot commonalities in
those or
you can go through your laundry basket
and take a look at the outfits that you
wore in the last week
and see if you can find the
commonalities in any of those seven
I personally have two style uniforms
either a pair of skinny jeans with a
tank top
or a tank top with a mini skirt and for
the record that doesn't mean that i
don't
wear other things it just means that if
i'm pressed for time
or if i have like an occasion that i'm
not sure what to wear to
i just go to that formula because i know
that makes me feel my best
once you've identified the elements of
your personal uniform then you can focus
on finding those elements in pieces that
are a little bit more elevated and fit
whatever occasion you need for example
let's say that you've identified that
your personal uniform is a pair of
straight leg jeans with a t-shirt
but you have a job interview coming up
then you can focus on finding a pair of
straight leg trousers that you can pair
with like a knit top with a short sleeve
it will still be your personal uniform
except a little bit more elevated
and this will make it so that you still
are you you can feel comfortable and you
can focus on more important things
other than what you're wearing like say
nailing that job interview
so the next time you're standing in
front of your closet unsure what to wear
try a combination that brings in the
elements of your personal uniform
but matches the occasion you're getting
dressed for it's still you
just a little bit fancier listen if anna
wintour feels like she can wear a uniform
every day then
so can you i'm giving you anna's
blessing
