Your list seems perfect to me.

WELL DONE. You did a stellar job, Style Fan. I'm impressed.

Some of the categories need a little refinement - which is easy because VISUALLY with the Finds, you've shown the specific detail. It's just not reflected in the text.

For example, linen pants, cotton pants, cardigans - define the silhouettes and colours. Same with Winter boots.

You can make Birkies an essential.

Trench coat is not a statement, but your leather jacket might be (I don't see it here).

Your new Jess Kamm pants are a statement! Earrings probably too.

Again, very nicely done. I'm proud of you.

JAileen

I love looking at your finds. The colors are so beautifully cohesive. Beauiful earrings.

rachylou

Ok. Now I find it interesting that your new pants are statements when I'm thinking you were thinking they classify as Essentials. Is it the cut? If they were my pants, would they be statements too?

I'm wondering if to make a statement I need to wear my owl tiara all the time, hehe!

Style Fan

Thank you Bonnie.
Angie I will do some more work on my list later today. I see what you mean. No surprise that I am a visual person. I would rather do diagrams. I will try to add my leather jacket to finds. I wondered about my Jesse Kamm pants but I thought cotton chino type pants would be essentials. Earrings will go out. And the cuff. I will take that out.
Thank you JAileen. I lost one of my square amber earrings about a year ago but I am in denial. Sob.
Rachy If I wear anything outside of my normal brown T shirt and straight legged blue jean it is a statement!

Suz

Oh -- I am now all hung up about your lost earring!! Can you have the artisan make another? This happened to me once with my favourite earrings and I did get a new one made!!

Your list is excellent! I agree with Angie that the text needed a bit more refinement but I could see it in the photos.

Suz I am so sad about my earrings. I think I will look for something that works with it. Like a simple silver earrings and wear the asymmetrical look. Maybe it will turn up. Or I could see about having another one made. Good idea. I will work on the text of the essentials.

I like how you came back to revise your essentials after feedback. Your colour palette is so cohesive. Is there any colour you eliminate for winter or summer? I think I'm going to keep burgundy for FW and maybe white for SS.

Emily K

I think I could view this assortment of clothing and know that it belongs to you--there is a cohesive palette and point of view. Really well done, I think!

Kerry I am a good student. I am also very consistent. My colour palette is the same for all the seasons. I actually have a hard time adding another colour to my wardrobe.
Thank you Emily. I have been working on my wardrobe for a few years. It has been my retirement project.
