I think you wear statement tops and shoes with essential pants ( that sounds wrong doesn’t it - of course pants are essential....</p> <p>Love 1 and 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1998094 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 19:18:30 +0000 Jenni NZ 1998094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, a jandal is a flip-flop like in my pic 13. It is a peculiarly NZ word which is short for "Japanese sandal" which was coined by the first NZ maker of such decades ago. All born-and-bred Kiwis call them that and so do most of our immigrants who have been "Kiwified", or no-one knows what they mean?!<br /> Sorry, I've used it here before, will try to remember to also use "flip-flop" !<br /> Thanks for saying I nailed it!<br /> Jenn, maybe you are right, as I was typing I was surprised how many there were! But 6 shoes out of 46 is s bit sparse...<br /> Pic 1's floral top actually has a black mesh essential top under it, because I wear it to work and it's sheer.<br /> And thanks for the wardrobe love! It is my pride and joy of the new house I do admit. Neil got the mirror custom cut to fit the whole space on the back wall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1998075 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 17:45:53 +0000 Sara L. 1998075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your list sounds reasonable to me.&nbsp; This exercise flummoxes me every year so I'm impressed with everyone that can put a list together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1998070 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 17:35:00 +0000 Jenn 1998070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This list doesn't seem sparse at all to me. It's just about the same number of items I listed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1998059 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 17:10:00 +0000 Helena 1998059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Cardiffgirl - snug as a bug in a rug in #9 :)</p> <p>Great list, and you've obviously nailed it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1998054 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 16:55:08 +0000 karen13 1998054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Jane and sun tiger - serious closet and mirror envy. I love your statement style (and shoes!) but even you have some essential “glue”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1998051 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 16:45:20 +0000 Suz 1998051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, that floral top in #1 is lovely on you. Wow. Such a lovely floaty silhouette.&nbsp;</p> <p>I suspect that those with a more eclectic style have fewer essentials. It's all good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1998011 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 14:57:36 +0000 Angie 1998011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*APPLAUSE*</p> <p>You did great, <b>Jenni NZ. </b>Nailed it.&nbsp;<b></b></p> <p><b></b><b></b>You rock that&nbsp;floral statement top.

Gotta think of how to adapt it to the cold.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1997961 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 10:25:27 +0000 Jane 1997961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slightly off topic but Jenni, please may I come and visit you and 'play' in your wardrobe? It is gorgeous! I am admiring the width particularly! It looks a perfect width, with enough space to see you in the mirror.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1997957 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 09:41:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 1997957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for your Puffies!

The only things I’d run out to replace are black combat boots, black sneakers and my Puffies... but even with the Puffies... I’ve had black, white, navy, burgundy, brown, red, grey and purple! It’s really not that specific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1997953 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 09:31:11 +0000 Cardiff girl 1997953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds a good list to me.You look as cute as a button in #9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sparse-essentials#post-1997952 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 09:28:30 +0000 Jenni NZ 1997952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't think I have many.<br /> Tops: Summer mesh layering tops, black or white.
