This would be the list.....I have these (or very similar) items in my closet (except for the yummy red coat...in real life, I am still wearing my trusty black wool.) The top three items are my basic daily uniform...which is definitely how I think of it. I am in the process of adding color!
1. Black trousers
2. Black cardigan sweater
3. White scoop neck T
4. Red turtleneck sweater
5. Plaid wool bias-cut skirt (found mine at Goodwill for $3)
6. Black wedge-heeled knee-high boots (mine are suede, but I want a new pair)
7. Black tights (those red plaid shoes are cool too....but they don't count)
8. Bright coat (I still want a great coat...the one from La Redoutte was not a success)
9. Crochet scarf (I have several scarves that I knitted last year...now I want to crochet, and I have plenty of yarn to make something like this funky number)
10. Cloche hat with funky flower (I love hats, and as a knitter, I have several that I made for myself...this one is next--I just bought the pattern at my lys)
11. Tote bag (mine is black, white & red, but is slightly different in shape, with red leather trim and handles instead of black)
12. Totally frivolous bonus: Black & white print knit wrap dress (I love mine, which has a slightly different print....in another life, I'd wear dresses every day)
If I could add one more thing, it would be big black sunglasses....and then if I could keep adding, I'd add my clogs......
