According to a website called Pure Wow! Here listed are
The Only 15 Items You Need to Build the Perfect Wardrobe
(http://www.purewow.com/fashion/15-piece-capsule-wardrobe)with my comments:
- The perfect white tee
- No, nothing white, I always get it stained.
- A few neutral colored tee shirts that don't have anything written on them would work.
- Gray, Charcoal Gray, Tan, Heather Blue
- A navy blazer that's not part of a Pantsuit
- OK, but preferably a loose cotton machine-washable one
- Linen is nice in the summer too
- An A-Line Midi Skirt that highlights your shape
- Hah! No. No skirts. My shape is the problem
- Skirts are very sensitive to expansion and contraction of waistline
- A plain dress of some sort is acceptable.
- Although I avoid dresses because they create complications with shoes and socks
- Dark wash flared jeans that elongate your legs
- OK, a pair of jeans. Two pairs. Black and blue.
- Lightweight blue for summer.
- A white button-down that's not your boyfriends
- White again. Danger. Only if you need it for a job interview
- Otherwise, fine, some kind of blouse.
- A classic trench coat that makes you feel elegant.
- Yes.
- Tailored black pants you can dress up or down
- OK
- A silky black camisole you can layer or not.
- Not. Not with my fat arms. Substitute one of the neutral-colored t-shirt
- A good ole denim jacket
- Maybe. But other cloth jackets are often better-looking
- Denim jackets can be styled rather weird and look outdated soon
- A not-stuffy pencil skirt
- No skirts.
- A striped shirt that makes you look French.
- Horizontal stripes. Hahaha. I learned that was a no-no in 9th grade. Only for the thin & fit.
- White pants you can wear any time of the year.
- White. On pants. Just never sit down anywhere. Yeah, forget it.
- A little black dress you'll wear forever.
- Sure. My eternal quest.
- There was once this perfect looking dress in a Victoria's Secret catalog.
- Decades ago, perhaps.
- I wish I'd bought it.
- No. I wish I'd saved the photo.
- A Showstopping dress for special occasions
- Wait for the occasion before buying the dress
- A basic sweater to throw over anything
- I have a nice black cotton sweater from the long-defunct Tweeds Catalog.
- I miss getting clothes from the Tweeds Catalog
- I wish J.Crew would revive it, with decent clothes.
- I have that nice black cotton sweater, and a very nice embroidered? jackard? greyish button-down shirt that I wear over plain t-shirts in the summer.
- Something happened to textiles between the 1980's and now.
- Clothes purchased in the past 10 years or so will develop holes much sooner than they ought to.
- Something is very wrong.
