I wasn't sure about the red toppers but added them because they got the most wears.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-essentials#post-1997038 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 22:54:48 +0000 Angie 1997038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*APPLAUSE*</p> <p>Here are the rest of your essentials that you mentioned on the blog post today:</p> <p><i>SHOES: Black and white sandals and boots, black, white &amp; blue sneakers.</i><br /><i>JEANS: Black, blue, and white skinny for winter and crop flares for summer.</i><br /><i>TOPS: Solid black, white, striped turtlenecks, and striped and solid color long sleeve cotton tees for layering in winter.

Yes, I was missing layering tops, specifically cotton long sleeve in my color palette. I discovered this when participating in last January's 30x30 Capsule Challenge. I got the white boots because of Angie and I must say they are super comfortable and I get compliments on how trendy they are.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-essentials#post-1996974 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 19:01:55 +0000 Suz 1996974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really interesting that you were missing a few of these in the past and that your wardrobe works better with their inclusion. I like the focus you brought to this upgrade, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/updating-my-essentials#post-1996971 Tue, 29 Jan 2019 18:58:59 +0000 Bonnie 1996971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Essential list did not change much this year but some of the individual items got upgraded. Last year, I focused on adding trendier jeans, replacement shoes, and completed my layering tee capsule. My complete list is on Angie's blog and the finds shown below are either replacements or additions that have been added most recently. The white Nikes are several years old but I've been wearing them lately because I think they work well with the ugly sneaker trend. The higher waist jeans are much more comfortable for me than the lower waist jeans, so I am thrilled there are lots of options now. Adding the workhorse tees have made my wardrobe more of a capsule wardrobe with mix and match options. Last year's focus on Essentials really helped me understand how important they are.&nbsp; </p>
