Fashionable Friday: CPUs

One of my favorite books is William Gibson’s Pattern Recognition. The main character Cayce Pollard has a very distinct style and her clothing is described in the books as CPUs — Cayce Pollard Units. What would her pen-and-paper supplies look like? Simple, clean and logo-free, mostly black, grey and silver, and of course, useful.
