If you could start your wardrobe from scratch...

[Twiga]

...what would you buy? Am off to the shops tomorrow for some serious retail therapy - am still knocking about in faded jeans and t-shirts which I needed to replace before I had dd a year a go - some of which are from student days. Been promising myself an over haul for a while but just haven't got round to it. Don't want to have to re-morgatage but need some good basics.

I'd buy a wardrobe for a start! Mine has collapsed..!!!

I'd buy the basics that never go out of fashion (well fitting jeans, white shirt, white t-shirt, black skirt etc etc) and funk it up with whatever's in fashion at the time (cardigan, scarf, corsage etc etc)

Or if I won the lottery I would just buy most of the Boden catalogue, especially those non-iron shirts that come with their own storage bag!

as an absolute minimum:-

2 pairs excellent jeans - one shorter and lighter for days, one longer and darker for nights

1 pair chunky day boots and 1 pair sparkly shoes

gazillions of t-shirts and little tops

one or two jumpers

an expensive belt

Agree with Twigger, but why one shorter and one longer pair of jeans? Do your legs get longer in the evening, you lucky, lucky person? I'd also add a good coat - you can shove any old $hite underneath, and you will still look good.

Good bras - wearing a rubbish bra makes you look bad in whatever you are wearing.

Love my long black coat in the winter - can wear anything & still look fine at school! - just hope I don't have to take my coat off!!

I wold assume that longer jeans are for wearing with high heels MC

short jeans are for wearing with trainers, flipflops, flat boots etc
long jeans are for wearing with heels.
Not interchangeable IME!

Ah, now I understand!

"Twigger"???

some kind of lovechild of me and twiglett praps?

mrs badge correct of course. evening jeans at least an inch longer than my day jeans.

1)two pairs boots 1 brown 1 black.
2)pair perfect fitting jeans..bootleg skinny not always the way to go.
3)two t shirts 1 black 1 white.
4) v neck tops ...simple style any colors u like go for seasonal.
5) 2 bags 1 black 1 brown 2 match the boots.
6) 1 pair heel shoes black
7) 1 par wedges
8) vests. balck/ white.
9)2 perfect fiiting bras..black/white.
10) cut off jeans
11) flat shoes/sandal/pump.

and voila...small fortune will be spent if you use this list i suspect.lol.
