I started tracking my wears on paper and then somehow misplaced my notebook so I’m going off the top of my head here. Reading through everyone's posts has been very helpful--what I've sort of culled from them is that essentials for the most part don't make an outfit on their own. They are often items that are duplicated because they are useful for building an outfit. Here goes! Thanks!
