What are your wardrobe heroes?

Those items you're glad you own?

I'm trying to build a capsule-type wardrobe and am thinking of some of the best-value things I have and I'd love to hear others.

I like my:
Black leather biker jacket I received for my 16th birthday (still looks good 15 years later)
Wine coloured Whistles dress which makes me feel v polished
Well cut grey jumper which goes with everything
Uniqlo jeggings
Brown leather ankle boots
Cream three quarter sleeve top
Lipstick Queen red lipstick

Struggling to think of any others! Would love a silk shirt but have big norks (30GG) and I'm not sure I'd suit one.

MakeMe well the Valentino is in the doghouse as a stud has fallen off after TWO DAYS. The Gucci is lovely but the Bal is just that bit more versatile Grin

Actually looks at herself right now I'd say everything HeatTech is what I'm wearing every day (very cold in the mornings on my way to yoga) and it's saving my life (I'm Southern European).

Oh yes, fine knit sweaters, black, grey, also a few eggshell blue and shell pink. Also better to buy cheap and replace frequently.

Sonotkylie · 22/12/2014 10:59

Grey (Pure collection) and navy (next) cashmere v neck jumpers
Dark indigo (Levi demi curve) and black (next) skinny jeans
Black jodphur boots (e Bay)
Navy suede flat ankle boots (Clarks)
And Heattech tops and fleece lined tights which enable me to wear other things and not be as boring as I sound!

My Alexander Mcqueen 'lightening' stretchy pencil skirt. Love, love love it and not only because it cost me £35 in the sales. I think I could wear it just about anywhere and even more important, I can eat as much as I want in it.
