my {60's} uniform... 29 Aug 2012

I've always had a thing for 60's style and love incorporating it in a modern way. Whether totally casual to meet up with friends for lunch or a little dressier for a night out with my guy, the 60's thing just adds a little swing to my step! — Bri

{Hanging out: (top to bottom): A.P.C. heart tee, Modcloth yellow scarf, Modcloth coral scarf, AG skinny jeans, Shopbop flats. Out Dancing (top to bottom): Topshop shift dress, Marni earrings, Anthropologie tights, J.Crew pumps.}

my {park} uniform... 8 Aug 2012

I may not have a little one just yet, but this would be a fun outfit for when I babysit Ruby for the day and take her for an adventure in the park. We can be all matchy-matchy with our graphic prints and coral kicks! — Bri

{For Me (top to bottom): Terrain tote, Zoe Karssen sweatshirt, J.Crew shorts, Cole Haan slippers. Little One (top to bottom): Blabla kids backpack, Polarn O. Pyret sun hat, French Blossom jumper, Zara sandals.}

my {road trip} uniform... 25 Jul 2012

I have been itching to pack a small bag and hit the road for the weekend, so I'm planning a little trip to Big Sur, California. I'm going to leave the heels at home this time and pack a couple of carefree colorful outfits {and maybe a sequin skirt} for a date night out! — Bri

{On the road (top to bottom): J.Crew overnight bag, Steven Alan tee, Mara Hoffman shorts, K Jacques St Tropez metallic sandals. Summer nights (top to bottom): Scotch Naturals nail polish, Romwe sweater, Topshop sequin skirt, Madewell flats.}

my {pajamas} uniform... 11 Jul 2012

Like any daytime outfit, it's fun to have options for nighttime too. You might be in the mood to lounge around in comfy pants and colorful socks watching movies OR you might be feeling extra girly and want to sass it up in a pretty lingerie set with a light and silky robe...sleep tight! — Bri

{Sassy (top to bottom): Shopbop sleep mask, Topshop bra & underwear, Dessous robe. Comfy (top to bottom): Women'secret t-shirt, By Langley pants, Pantone socks.}

my {4th of july bbq} uniform... 27 Jun 2012

My favorite kind of 4th of July party is hanging out by the pool, eating summer fruit and other finger foods, and enjoying a good fireworks show. It's always a great time to relax and enjoy the company of loved ones. So, I'll be keepin' it casual in a pair of festive shorts and a striped tank—and hopefully my boyfriend snags those awesome swim trunks!

Happy {upcoming} 4th! — Bri

{Lady (top to bottom): Sophomore tank, Current/Elliott shorts, Toast bucket bag, Anthropologie sandals. Guy (top to bottom): Ray Ban sunglasses, Mr. Porter swimsuit, Wings + Horns striped henley, Vans sneakers.}

my {birthday party} uniform... 13 Jun 2012

I recently attended and hosted a birthday party for friends, both of which require something fun and festive. If I'm attending a summer birthday party, I like to keep it casual with lightweight shorts and a cute patterned top {you don't want to outshine the birthday guy or gal on their special day!}

But if I am hosting the party, I like to kick it up a notch and get a little 50's with it—perhaps, a bright manicure and a polka dot dress? And, since you'll be running all around making sure everyone is happy, comfortable sandals that are still a little fancy are kind of a must! — Bri

{Guest (top to bottom): Topshop bracelets, Kelly Wearstler top, J.crew linen shorts, Loeffler Randall clogs. Hostess (top to bottom): Essie nail polish, Marimekko dress, Anthropologie apron, Madewell metallic sandals.}

my {power meeting} uniform... 30 May 2012

Joy and I are both freelancers which means our meetings might be a 9am phone conference in our pajamas, a 12 noon brunch, or at 5:30pm for cocktails before sunset—no day is ever the same.

I like to show my personality when I first meet a client, so that means most likely I'll be wearing bright and punchy colors. My version of a power meeting outfit shows that you can still look professional while mixing colors and patterns in a fun, yet sophisticated way...  — Bri

{Dinner (top to bottom): Michael Kors watch, H&M dress, Etsy iPad case, Kate Spade Heels. Brunch (top to bottom): Elva Fields necklace, J.crew t-shirt, Topshop blazer, Anthropologie colored denim, Shoemint flats.}

my {tropical} uniform... 16 May 2012

We're switching things up a bit over here at Oh Joy and have decided to bring the "Closet & Casa" series to a close. We've featured some amazing creatives and loved seeing their favorite items over the last year and a half. And now we're ready to change it up a bit. Bri will still be here on Wednesdays now with "My Uniform". Inspired by My Daily Uniform post, she'll be composing two outfits she'd wear for various occasions, themes, or destinations. We hope you like it! — Joy

I was just on a much-needed mini vacation in Mexico, and it was fun to switch up my normal style routine with some more festive options.

During the day, we walked around and shopped or headed to the beach, and I wore a pair of striped shorts & colorful flat shoes. It was so hot that all I needed was a sheer white top over my swimsuit.

In the evenings, these wide-leg white pants with a beaded top made a perfect dinner outfit. The patterned head scarf and yellow heels make the look more playful. — Bri

{Beach (top to bottom): The Row sunglasses, Anthropologie sheer white top, Azzaro swimsuit, Topshop striped shorts and Osborn sandals. Evening (top to bottom): Topshop head scarf, Rebecca Taylor silk camisole, Altuzarra white pants and Madewell yellow wooden heels.}

my {daily} uniform... 29 Mar 2012

As much as I'd love to say I wear a completely different outfit every day of the week, the truth is, I fall into a comfort zone and tend to have a couple "uniforms" that are my go-to's on a regular basis. Right now, I split my day between mom mode and work mode with these two sets of staples.

At home...I pretty much live in these StyleMint pants. They are so comfy for being home with the baby, but the best part is they don't look like pajamas. So if I have to pop out for a second, I'll put on some cute sandals and a slighty more feminine top like this one by Club Monaco.

When I head out {often for a meeting or breakfast with friends}...I'm all about well-tailored but comfortable pieces. Most often, I'm wearing a patterned top, a cropped blazer adorned with some Ban.do poms, a bright pair of jeans, and comfy but fun flats. So, friends...what's your go-to outfit? — Joy
