I really loved Angie's post earlier this week about taking time to actually wear and enjoy our clothes after all the shopping and to really live with our closet. On that note, I'd love to hear what wardrobe items you love and why. They don't have to be new or pricey; just something that you love but that you don't wear as much as you should.

Mine is this tweed DKNY blazer that I got for $5.99 at Goodwill a few years back. The fabric is substantial, the cut is immaculate and the details are thoughtful and work so well on me (princess seaming under the busy and in the sides, darting at the waist, structured seaming details on the back of the shoulders.) Although it may not be my most current piece, I always feel fab wearing it. I really don't wear it enough, despite the fact that I pin tweed blazer looks all the time! will try to wear it once a week for January....would love to hear your styling suggestions !

Worn here with Oxblood Theory v neck, Zara skinnies and cognac OTN boots.

One of my absolute wardrobe favourites is a long skirt from All Saints. It's about 6 years old now and I can't find a photo of anything similar, but it is cream and blue striped cotton, very full and heavy, and has a wide waistband. When I wear it I feel like the Queen (swoosh, swoosh, swoosh as I walk). It is tremendously impractical for running around with a baby, and of course I can't wear it to work, but I love love love it and never want to get rid of it, ever. I actually wore it on a long-haul flight once, and didn't have to use a blanket on the plane because I could just tuck my skirt around my legs and feet and was cozy as anything.

I absolutely love my black and white skirt with my black shoulder sequinned
top.. I wore it so much the past 3 months that my hubby calls it my uniform

Having said that my favorite wardrobe pieces are usually jewelry I'll have a favorite necklace and just keep planning my clothes according to that

If you love jewelry as much as me, checkout my FB page https://www.facebook.com/GlitterTrunk

My top 5 favorite items are as follows:

1. The hoodie hubby and I made for our record label with our logo on it

2. My tall black combat boots

3. This coral dress that was a gift from a friend (not sure the style - swing dress? A-line? cocktail? vintage inspired?)

4. New black faux leather jacket I had been wanting FOREVER and finally just got about a month ago

5. And finally, a pair of black skinny jeans, which also had been on my list for a very long time. Now I just wish I had more of them so I could wear them all the time!!

I'm stopping by quickly before I shoot off to say how much I LOVE your outfit. Your favourite blazer is sublime with the boots.

OH, and I forgot to say - I love that blazer too!! A tailored tweed blazer is on my must-have essentials list. Maybe this year?

Hmm. Hard to choose! I'm tossing up between an oversized, blue mohair cardigan that is cosy and warm, and a tartan kilt. I don't wear the tartan kilt much but I love how classic it is and I've got a few ideas to make it more interesting come this winter.

That's a great jacket!

I've been wearing this emozioni uomo patch elbow, patch pocket sweater all week.

My Ann Taylor blue leopard print pencil skirt. It has some my favorite colors - cobalt blue, ink blue, taupe, and cream so I have lots of tops, jackets, and footwear that go with it; it fits me to perfection; the blue leopard makes it fun and unique; and it can be worn in all seasons, with either tights or bare legs. Thanks for the reminder - I'll wear it next week.

Milehighstyle - that skirt sounds so cute!!

Rachylou - thanks, that was another trend I was trying out, all black with a colorful necklace. Loved it and definitely going to wear again, but maybe different top, different necklace and shoes.

This just arrived today, but because I love it (had to have it!) and know it won't get worn often due to the fact that it's not versatile, I think it qualifies:

Thanks so much everyone - so fun to hear everyone`s replies!<br>Jennifer - you`ll have to post a photo of that All Saints skirt - it sounds divine!

Tr3kkiegirl - love your rocker chic style, And that hoodie is so cool!

Dimity - now Ièm dying to see the blue mohair...

Rachylou - I LOVE that topper. I love japanese style...fell in love with an Iro cocooc coat a while back that I almost bought. The patc pockets and finishing are beautiful.

Love this little white fake fur jacket. In my mild climate it does not get a lot of wear, but is warm and cozy over the colder months at night.

My Gigidio boots - most expensive footwear I own, but cheapest in terms of wear. On my feet today.

My new pearl coloured puffer coat. I adore it! Your tweed blazer is gorgeous. Love the equestrian vibe. Fab boots too.

Roxanna, wear your tweed jacket with boyfriend jeans and an ivory graphic tee and boots. Maybe brown boots and a brown belt with the tee tucked or semitucked
