Add the work pants both light and dark to your essentials list. How about outerwear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097741 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 13:18:57 +0000 Cee 2097741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spot on, Gretchen </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097717 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 07:41:05 +0000 rachylou 2097717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. Now your list and Suz &amp; Angie’s question makes me wonder about duplicating essentials. I have black combat boots on my list and have kinda added high waist dark skinny jeans. The two jeans I have are about laundry bottlenecks. The boots - now I have a pair of fashion combat boots and a pair of steel-toed boots for work (when I could have that yellow-tan colour or god forbid, baker’s white). I only have one long puffer, which I simply torture. I’m not entirely sure why I don’t have two, except they’re not that easy to find. I’ve never seen two in my size on a rack at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097700 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 04:19:20 +0000 Jaime 2097700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks just right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097634 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 21:40:10 +0000 Gretchen 2097634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suz @Angie. I thought about work vs casual essentials. But my go to work uniform has become more streamlined - dark pant, and plain top w statement blazer, or<br /> - light pant, statement top, navy topper</p> <p>So I could add grey or navy straight leg pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097620 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:58:48 +0000 Helena 2097620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love all these - think I've found another essentials (almost) twin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097610 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:32:21 +0000 Angie 2097610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*APPLAUSE*</p> <p>Beautifully pulled together and very polished.&nbsp;</p> <p>Like <b>Suz</b>, I'm wondering about your business casual, business formal, and toppers - although you mentioned a navy suit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097576 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 18:51:49 +0000 Anonymous 2097576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're so harmonious together! No wonder you got so much teal last year </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097573 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 18:47:41 +0000 Suz 2097573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, do you have separate essentials for work and casual? Because I am thinking you might be missing some things here -- the things that make your business outfits come together. (Obviously some of the tops are crossover and so are the pretty ballet flats.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-8#post-2097569 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 18:40:16 +0000 Gretchen 2097569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I said last year, it helps me to think about essentials as the items that are so prevalent in my closet that I could get dressed in the dark and would land on at least 1 if not a full outfit. (Also the area I have the hardest time purging b/c I know I will wear each of these items)&nbsp;</p> <p>My essentials for 2020:</p> <p>V-neck solid color sweater - cotton for summer, wool or cashmere for winter</p> <p>V-neck sleeveless tops for layering</p> <p>Stripe knit tops</p> <p>Navy toppers - blazer or cardigan style</p> <p>Navy Suit - blazer and pants</p> <p>Jeans - dark wash or white, straight or cropped flare</p> <p>Ballet flats</p> <p>Low profile tennis shoes</p> <p>2.5" leather pumps</p> <p>Delicate gold necklaces or earrings</p>
