Those 50 pieces don't represent my lifestyle, and I don't own many of them.

I have up to 18, depending on how you define things like "low heeled dress shoe". And so many of these things don't work for me. Why leopard? Why camel? Who's the target of this list?

INTERESTING!

Ummmm......no.

I have about 36 out of 50 pieces.

I'd say I have 15/50.

To quote the Talking Heads' Once in a Lifetime:
This is not my beautiful house

hahaha laurinda... good one!

28 out of 50 for me, which is more than expected. I've never even considered many of these (mod boots, camel hair coat) as things most people would own.

I do love these lists. Vastly entertaining... and certainly a place to start if you have nothing and zero clues. Ok so...

I have 37/50 of the items.
I find 16/50 useful on a regular and frequent basis (underlined those).

  3. tuxedo shirt (N)
  4. wrap dress (Y, faux wrap)
  5. black dress (Y)

  8. skimmer (Y, if it's what I think it is)

Who I think the list is for:

Woman living in a city or large town, working a pretty standard office job, who goes to hear a classical recital once a month Wednesdays and to a trendy restaurant and movie Fridays or Saturdays. Maybe takes a little walk in the park daytime weekends, the odd museum or gallery show.

29 of 50. But I have 3 trench coats so maybe 31/50.

Yep, this does look like a list for a more classic eastern seaboard dresser, odd though it is in a few specifics.

I'd say I have 31/50 (not counting multiples like 3 silk shirts...none of them white) but my versions are sometimes definitely not what they were thinking...my cashmere sweater is a vintage lipstick-red fitted1940s number with ribbed trim and shell buttons; my pea coat is a Life-Saver-striped 70s Hudson Bay blanket coat. No stilettos, no leopard, but yes OTK boots (eep...did I really get them maybe even more than 15 years ago?), and I do believe I have the Mod boots covered.

I find these lists so amusing. They presume a total lack of individuality and that there is only one version of style...grumping aside here goes

tuxedo shirt (N)
wrap dress (N)
black dress (Y many)

21 out of 50! I feel like such a failure...just kidding.

However I. toe this is a classic wardrobe and I don't consider myself classic. I might just devise my own list;)

This is such an odd list! Mini skirt and stilettos on my 61 y.o. body? I don't think so! Since when did a stacking ring become a *must have*? Sadly, with our drought of the last few years, my rain boots are hardly a necessity. But yes, I own jeans, bra and panties. Why did she even list the latter?

I think I have 28 of 50 but in some categories I have multiples. Like jeans and white tees. And striped tops and cashmere.

I believe my essential list is tiny -- jeans, tees, dress shirts, booties, leather moto, cashmere cardigan, overcoat, one LBD and one pair pumps. However I tend to go really deep into each category, I am realizing it's part uniform love and part lust for duplicates.

I have 28 out of the 50 - but like Cocolion, many of my 28 items are duplicated several times over (or more!)

22/50 despite trying to shed my classic roots. Am I doomed?

24. And I don't need the ones I don't have
