I have such a casual life that great jeans are my workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-803203 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 20:43:19 +0000 Suz 803203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A pair of slouchy skinny BF jeans. </p> <p>Scarves. </p> <p>Looser fitting pullovers sweaters (jumpers). </p> <p>Booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-803103 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 17:06:12 +0000 Anonymous 803103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>T-shirts, lightweight trousers/pants and leather skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-803083 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 16:28:07 +0000 cheryl 803083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm all about jeans, knit tops and fun tennies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-802925 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 00:55:31 +0000 Anonymous 802925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, you just had a birthday. Happy birthday! (I was checking where you lived). I envy you your summer dress collection. I love unlined cotton blazers that can be tossed in the wash. In the spring, I'd like to get a pair of slouchy silk or rayon cropped trousers, maybe in a color. I've been living in skirts/tops for the past two summers. Time for a change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-802921 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 23:28:54 +0000 Adelfa 802921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My current workhorses: tapered leg woven-with-stretch trousers in navy and black; tees; thin merino wool cardigans in black and eggplant; leather jackets in brown and black; long cashmere scarves; booties/shooties in black, gunmetal, and cognac.</p> <p>There's probably not a day when I don't wear one or all of these items. ("Business casual" workplace.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-802735 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 01:57:35 +0000 bj1111 802735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>with some weight gain and a previous closet purge, my staples are leggings over tunics that used to be worn dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-802733 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 01:51:14 +0000 lyn* 802733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally! I love it when people always think that I spend -so- much time dressing! It's a dress! It's one thing - it's so much easier than coordinating different pieces </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-802726 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 01:13:57 +0000 Megan 802726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jackets and cardigans are definitely on my 'need to be added' list. I'm dreadfully short on them. Found a lovely blazer in Zara last week and will go back to get it ASAP. Hoping my favourite cardigans will go on sale after Christmas too </p> <p>Dresses are the best- pop one on with a necklace or scarf and voila....you look polished </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-802725 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 01:12:46 +0000 Mo 802725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd say drapey dresses and sandals for the warm season. Some good jeans, boots, and a great jacket and sweater for cold season. As for extras, cuff bracelets are big for me this year, and I've gotten back to belts after years without. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-802724 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 01:09:26 +0000 lyn* 802724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Megan!</p> <p>I can't live without my fit-and-flare dresses! My closet is full of them! And of course the requesite toppers (cardigans and blazers) to make sure I'm nice and warm in the winter. I also have a collection of belts and costume jewellery to make my dresses pop!</p> <p>Yay for a mostly-dress wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-the-mood-for-a-closet-cleaning--what-are-your-current-staples#post-802720 Tue, 25 Dec 2012 00:34:00 +0000 Megan 802720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Hello YLFers!</p> <p>It's been a long time since I posted- been very busy with my PhD. Just a few months to go. </p> <p>I'm in desperate need of a closet cleaning. I've managed to accumulate a lovely collection of dresses but most other things are quite lacking. I think I need to be quite brutal in culling a lot of things that I just don't wear and start over with a few pieces that I really like. </p> <p>What are your current workhorses? The things you just can't live without </p> <p>TIA! </p>
