I'm in desperate need of a wardrobe refresh - a lot of things I have are now tattered or broken from decades of wear and in dire of need of replacing.

I haven't thrown anything out as otherwise I'd have nothing left and everything I seem to order or try on either feels cheap and crap or just doesn't sit right for my body.

I'm 5'2, about 120lbs (looking to lose 10lbs and go back to my normal weight so a little bit overweight for my body shape and height). I'm hoping to find some flattering, quality clothing staples.

So please give me your secret wardrobe staples. The items that never disappoint and you wear time and time again. Brands, specific items, I'm all ears.
