From Red Carpet to RN

The Golden Globes officially kicked off award season 2012! And if you’re anything like me, the awards themselves come second on the importance meter to the dresses!  These early award shows set the tone for the rest of the award shows as to which celebs we should expect another stunning frock from, and who needs to use the next event as an opportunity for recovery (or find a new stylist!).  Since we all don’t get to wear these gorgeous gowns for free as part of our day job (or get Cartier Museum jewelry flown in for us from Geneva—hello Charlize Theron); we’re going to show you how Uniform Advantage can help translate these Joan Rivers-approved dresses into your daily routine!

  1. Rev up the Red!  It wasn’t just the carpet that went red this year, celebs like Reese Witherspoon and George Clooney’ s girlfriend Stacey Keibler rocked this classic color and made it to the top of the “best-dressed” lists

George and StaceyReese WTS66C Style # WTS66C in Scarlet

You too can rock this red-hot hue, and not only is this scrub top super-soft, but the mock neck style allows you to control how much or how little you want to cinch it.

2.    Raspberry Royalty: Stars like Julianna Margulies and Viola Davis worked effortlessly what’s projected to be one of Spring 2012’s hottest colors—wine!

Style # UA424C in Wine

The feminine scrub top’s cascading ruffle collar, side slits, and tie back allow for the perfect fit in this flirty top, while staying polished and professional.

3.     Green Goddess:  Laura Dern and Evan Rachel Wood made daring statements in metallic green this year that paid off with nods on the “yes” list.

You can steal their looks with this mock wrap scrub top with a back tie for a flattering fit on any figure!

4. The New Navy: Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara was the standout winner of best-dressed lists everywhere, and while this curve hugging navy dress isn’t work appropriate, try UA’s Best Buy Next Generation Round Neck top!

Style #845 in Navy

This uniform top features front gathers, pinch pleats, and center back elastic to make the most of your work wear silhouette
