Everything else is flexible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-must-have-wardrobe-items#post-247462 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 03:25:11 +0000 Maya 247462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think what you're asking for exists, to be perfectly honest. There is nothing that I can think of that is "an absolute must in every woman's wardrobe" or even most womens' wardrobes...unless you count underwear and sleepwear and such.</p> <p>All I can think of is a minimum of 3 everyday perfectly fitted bras. Everything else is completely dependent on the person, where they live, and what their lifestyle, age, and personality is. Lists exist to make life simpler, but I must admit, I find these lists are actually make things harder and potentially lead to closet orphans and wasted money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-must-have-wardrobe-items#post-247454 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 03:19:32 +0000 Kari 247454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really don't know whether I could accurately decide what an essential is for every woman's wardrobe because the category can be so subjective depending on lifestyle and climate needs - per Angie's blog post today.</p> <p>For my own needs right now, if I had to replace 100% of my wardrobe in one go and start from scratch, this would be my list.</p> <p>*Two PERFECT bras<br /> *Killer knee high boots<br /> *Statement specs<br /> *Moto jacket (leather or denim)<br /> *"Statement" blazer<br /> *Comfortable, colorful, low-heeled pumps (preferably 2 pair)<br /> *Flat pair of shoes that I can walk in all day<br /> *Gray or black pencil skirt<br /> *Sheath dress in a neutral (or neutral-ish, such as burgundy) color - filling the "LBD" wardrobe category<br /> *"Statement" dress in a bright color or bold, figure-flattering print<br /> *Dark straight or gentle bootcut jeans (For someone else, this could be a non-denim pant in a casual fabrication)<br /> *Skinny jeans for tucking into boots<br /> *Denim bermuda shorts or clamdiggers<br /> *Colorful crossbody handbag<br /> *Solid colored "neutral" (to me, this was a soft mossy green) trench coat/rain coat<br /> *White and black basic camisoles for layering<br /> *Solid colored shell<br /> *Boyfriend cardigan<br /> *At least two colorful non-tee shirt knit tops<br /> *One or two colorful woven tops (I'd prefer these to be "button down alternatives" that aren't truly button down style.)<br /> *Voluminous, light-weight, patterned scarf<br /> *Two chunky necklaces (preferably one in pearls)<br /> *Two flannel pajama sets in a cheeky print<br /> *Three pairs patterned hose<br /> *Basic sets of underwear<br /> *Umbrella in a cute print</p> <p>Honestly, if I had to REALLY pare down my clothes for the same climate that I currently live in, this is probably what I'd end up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-must-have-wardrobe-items#post-240782 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 00:46:41 +0000 catgirl 240782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is a great question - though I need time to think about my answer, as I am still trying to figure it out.

Ready for any occasion, but with bare minimum. How much of a challenge is it to come up with such list? </p> <p>I'm thinking LBD, pretty day dress, great pencil skirt, classy white shirt, casual t shirt in basic colors, cardigan, a pair of jeans, statement item (if so, which one), comfy flats, elegant pumps, boots, few favorite accessories,...</p> <p>Please add your list. </p>
