Thanks for pulling this together, Shiny!

This is a great list! I need to print it out & comare it to my wardrobe & current 'to buy' list. Thanks so much Shiny!!

Well done everyone and a special well done to Shiny. This was VERY interesting.

Great list Shiny. Thank you!

Like Christine, I'm going to print this off and compare it to my wardrobe (and adjust it to meet my needs and style of course).

This is a great post, Shiny! I admire your energy and passion for lists.

Can I add a business/interview suit to the list. (Or did I miss it?) Angie posted about this, I'm sure of it!

Also, don't we need socks? I remember that post as well! Even if one does not exercise, they are useful for inside boots.

Yes - suits are on there! I don't remember a sock post? Send me the link... I'm intrigued.

I still keep getting the sense we're missing something... Angie, what did I miss??

I’ve written a few posts on socks Shiny, but they change every season because retailers change their stock. Also, socks are SO personal. I couldn’t possible generalize. BUT! People shouldn’t forget about socks. This item forms part of the “things we often neglect” list. Do you think it should go on the list?

I think I’m just refining the points:

o Let’s change wrap shirt to MOCK wrap knitted top. Those are universally flattering.

o Cashmere is a mute pint – I can barely wear it! Wool can be a big problem. So people need to find fabric they are not allergic too. Cardigans deserve a category of their own – an assortment of style and colour is important. VERY versatile.

o A pair of dressy heels

o An assortment of statement handbags

o Eyewear – specs or/and sunglasses

o Earrings? Studs and hoops – universally flattering

o Layering tops

Have we got statement watch on there?
