3. Plain Black Pumps that can take you from the office to happy hour are a must-have in your closet.
4. A White Shirt is always stylish whatever way you wear it. From the basic white-tee, to a tailored collared shirt, a great white shirt is a must have.
5. A "Big" Leather Bag large and sturdy enough to carry your essentials for the office; weekend errands and traveling.

ReplyDeleteChoosing a top 10---I don't know if I could do it. I love yours though!
ReplyDelete@lesbelles thanks for the compliments! I got that yellow jacket from a fashion swap..it's one of my favorite swap finds.
ReplyDeleteReally chic!! A refreshing reminder that I need to evaluate my basics in my wardrobe!! I love my short cut too and that has become my trademark. Thank you again for the reminders. Please look me up at http://thesunflowermama.blogspot.com/ I am new to blogging and you and so many others have been great inspiration!!

ReplyDeleteI love your list!! My signature "piece" is my short cut, too. =) I need to add a few more pairs of boots. I wore the heck out of my black pair last year. I also need some new black pumps and a bunch of brightly colored pencil skirts!
ReplyDeleteThanks @babyshopa.. As I writing the post, I realized there are a few pieces that I need to update too...especially some new jeans. I have worn my sevens to shreds..LOL
ReplyDelete@goodwill_huntng I see so many beautiful broochs when I'm thrifting...may have to pick up a few to add to my accessories collection.

Love this post! Great jacket! I love that you kept the skirt and top neutral and let the jacket stand out! Great post! For me I have to have the perfect classic peacoat (Michigan weather), great oversized handbag, and neutral pumps!

I love this list! I dont have all of these items, but I am getting there, I think. What I like best is that you included #10, because we are all unique, so our perfect 10 should be, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the Marc Jacobs suit and his use of the BROOCH! (My new jewelry staple!)

ReplyDeleteSpot on Kay. I have all of these.

Yes! This is a fab post. It has everything a girl needs. Like Kim Kardashian's hair and body. Oh, you were talking about her bag :)
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike... I created a similar list of the "Essential Eight." http://mattieologie.com/2010/11/16/mattie-memo-the-essential-eight/Nina Garcia was the inspiration behind this with her Little Black Book of Style.
Oh yeah, don't ever wear that Michael Kors watch around me. It will come up missing. LOL.

Oh... I need to add a couple of things to my wardrobe! Love this list :)
ReplyDeletePlease come style me at www.styledbyu.blogspot.com
much love,

This is a great list! For me, I need the perfect pair of sunglasses. I've had one pair for 3 years now...luckily they're holding up pretty well. When they finally give out on me I'm not sure what I'll do!!
