In Response to Oprah's recent Top 10 Basics show, Susan of "Friday Style," has assigned her readers to post our own Top Ten Basics List based on what we wear on a weekly basis. Not one to balk at directions, I have made my top ten list.
Behold:
Top Ten Wardrobe Essentials (for a 28 year-old stay at home mom in Seattle)
***Everything is machine-washable***
1.) Dark, Wide Leg, mid-rise jean. Currently, it is the Gap Essential cut. I had a gift card, I bought two pair, they were worth every penny.
2.) Button down shirt. Wrinkle-free is an absolute must have.
3.) Fitted Polo shirt- various colors
4.) Lightweight, long-sleeved cardigan… I have black and brown.
5.) Flat-front, wide leg khakis (Currently in the hunt for some)
6.) Tailored V-neck Tee, various colors and multiples for emergencies.
7.) Black trousers (that can be machine washed, but look like dry-clean only)
8.) Shoes that can be slipped on without hands (mine are Keens)
9.) Black leather, "FM" zip to the knee boots
10.) Lightweight, rain-resistant, fleece-lined jacket
Top 10 Items I wish I had in my wardrobe:
1.) Black, tailored blazer to be worn with jeans
2.) Brown leather jacket
3.) Brown boots
4.) Old-school, (no words) screen-print tees to be worn under above mentioned sport jacket
5.) Black leather belt
6.) Spanx OR Pretty, breathable Chonies that hold in the c-section shelf
7.) V-Neck Sweater
8.) Wrap style tops for ellusive date-night
9.) Little Black Dress
10.) White Adidas Samba Millennium Sneakers

I would add...
--multiple tops, you never know when you might get slimed
--bras that double as jogging bras, nursing bras, and lingerie
--grannie panties that are SUPER absorbent
--a jacket that is rain proof, wind proof, spit up proof, sweat proof, and ties nicely around the waste
--tennis shoes that you can get on with no hands
BWAHAHAHA-
I had put slip on shoes and absorbent panties before and changed it. Because of you, I switched back to my original list, because truth be told, that's what I really want
As a fellow Seattle-ite, I must add: fleece, fleece and more fleece! Good thing my son works at REI...
