Before I decide to keep or throw away - I am going to really sit down and think about my fashion and what "staples" I want and need. This brings me to Tim Gunn - I have a weird "even though he's gay and so much older than me" crush on him - he is just so knowledgeable about clothes and woman's bodies. One of my favorites of his is his 10 Essential Items list:
Tim Gunn's 10 Essential Items Every Woman Needs:
- Basic black dress
- Trench coat
- Classic dress pants
- Classic white shirt
- Skirt
- Blazer
- Day dress
- Cashmere sweater
- Jeans
- A comfortable alternative to a sweatsuit
I think I own most of these items - (maybe I'll have to go shopping for a few *wink wink*), the key is to really get rid of the rest of the "trash", so even on days where you just want to throw something on - at least it will look somewhat decent.
I will have to take pictures of our process and post them. (Unfortunately MIL took back her Digital SLR :( Even more of a reason for me to get a Rebel.)

ReplyDeleteI love this post!! We totally organized our closet after watching, and it has made such a difference!
When I first watched that show, I was running around like a crazy person trying to find a piece of paper to write down that list! Thanks for posting!!..I lost my copy! :)
Enjoy your date night! I absolutely love organizing - especially closets! Thanks for posting this list too - I am going to use it when I do a little spring cleaning in my own closet. (CeeCee23)
