Your many black essentials are a base for your statement pieces. It looks like the items on this list will allow you to make many different outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-essentials-list#post-1790804 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 18:17:35 +0000 Style Fan 1790804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list.&nbsp; It does take awhile to sort this out.&nbsp; I am heavy on the essentials in my wardrobe so the exercise is helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-essentials-list#post-1790800 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:58:42 +0000 Ginger 1790800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really great list. It looks like black and white are your primary neutrals, just like me! Can you organize the list into larger categories? Like "black and white pants" and "black, white, and gray layering tops."&nbsp; I have a "black and white skirts" category. I don't need to list the exact items in it, because I know that I heavily rely on black or white skirts in a variety of lengths and materials to build my outfits. This applies across seasons. Same for "black, white, and rose gold shoes." I actually bought one more pair of each <i>after</i> I did the Essentials exercise, because it showed me that I really rely on this type and color of footwear. Multiples in different styles lets me enjoy variety while still having the same ease of outfit creation.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-essentials-list#post-1790784 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 16:59:27 +0000 Isabel 1790784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great list. Though I don't know what a "singlet" is...so your list may even be GREATER than I think it is. LOL</p> <p>I think that if you had many, many statement pieces with nothing to "anchor" them, that would be a greater problem. From the look of your list, it seems that your statement pieces really couldn't function without your essentials. Who cares if you have many statement pieces ? They make you happy and you use them ! YAY ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-essentials-list#post-1790642 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 12:25:43 +0000 Cee 1790642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choices ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-essentials-list#post-1790628 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 10:40:20 +0000 Lisa Rayes 1790628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, amazing.<br />I think you did a lot of hard work to maintain this list.<br />Black got highest spots in your list means it is one of your favorites.<br />Great work.<br />keep it up.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-essentials-list#post-1789592 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 13:57:31 +0000 RobinF 1789592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list. Looks like a lot of black, kind of your base. It makes sense to me that tunics would be your statement piece. They would naturally stand out more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/late-essentials-list#post-1789540 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 11:42:36 +0000 Jenni NZ 1789540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This concept has not been easy for me to grasp. But I'm beginning to grasp why my wardrobe was overflowing: most things in it are statements. So my essentials are what let my statement tunics and shoes and occasionally jackets shine.<br /> Winter: Tops:<br /> Black 3/4 sleeve layering T<br /> Thin black merino 3/4 sleeve layering T<br /> Black long-sleeved layering T<br /> Black/shadow striped long-sleeved layering T<br /> 1 black, 1 grey 3/4 sleeved merino layering T<br /> Black turtlenecked skivvy for under statement jumpers<br /> Black polo necked merino<br /> Pale green scoop necked merino<br /> Tunics:<br /> 1 black, 1 grey merino/acrylic pinafore<br /> Pants:<br /> Plain black and black lace leggings, worn layered together, lace on top.<br /> Black leatherette trim ponte skinny pants<br /> Black leather patch ponte skinny pants<br /> Thicker skinny pants, almost fleecy but tailored/structured: 1 navy, 1 olive, 1 charcoal<br /> Black/tan leggings<br /> Dark straight jeans<br /> Jackets/coats: Plain black soft jacket, slightly cropped<br /> Black and white tweed swing cropped coat<br /> All year: Neutral handbag, currently tan.<br /> Gold watch<br /> Gold wedding ring<br /> Fine gold diamond stud earrings<br /> Silver stud earrings, plain or sparkly<br /> Summer: Tops: thin shortsleeved mesh layering Ts, 1 black 1 white.<br /> Plain white singlet<br /> Grey singlet with swirly pattern<br /> Gold singlet?<br /> White peasant top<br /> Black long singlet, more dressy<br /> Pants:<br /> Long black evening pants<br /> Black Capri pants<br /> White Capri pants<br /> Soft black cropped pants<br /> Jackets/cardigans:<br /> White drape cardigan<br /> Black shrug cardigan<br /> Black tuxedo jacket<br /> Shoes, both seasons:<br /> Black Skechers for walking<br /> Flat black booties<br /> New pale black walking sandals<br /> Black high heeled T-bar pointy toed pumps<br /> Beige low heeled pumps. </p> <p>Hmmm, nearly all my tunics and shoes are statements plus most of my jackets... This may be an issue. Maybe why I prefer to dress in outfits rather than capsules and need a bigger variety? </p>
