A clothing re-do

I mentioned in an earlier entry about my need to get rid of a good portion of my clothing and start over from scratch. I really dislike most of the clothes I own and need to build up a solid wardrobe that I will love and will last for a long time. I'll admit it, I love a good bargain and more often than not, I buy items strictly because they are cheap without really thinking what that article will pair with or how I will wear it.

But that's in the past :) I've made a list of the main things I need and will steadily chip away at it over the coming months and years. I'm sure I will also add to the list as well, but I think these cover the basics.

Tops

• 3 tank tops for layering (in neutral colors)
• 3 dressy tops for work/going out
• 3 plain lightweight t-shirts
• 1 white button down
• 2 blazers (1 black, the other a fun color)
• 2 cardigans (1 white, the other a fun color)
• 1 zip-up hoodie (no logo) for casual days at work
• 1 lightweight jacket

Bottoms

• Dark jean trousers
• Khakis
• Dark grey work slacks
• Black leggings (my husband has been begging me for months to get leggings, but I refused. I figure now is the time to try something new and see if I like them)
• Dressy capris for work
• Black skirt (work appropriate)

Misc.

• 2 summer dresses
• 1 dressy dress (for work/going out)
• New work shoes (probably comfortable black heels)
• Casual shoes (not running shoes) that I can wear with jeans at work and still look semi-professional
• A fun pair of wedge sandals
• Lingerie
• Accessories (necklaces, new glasses, fun headbands)

Am I missing anything? :) Now comes the fun part: browsing internet sites for the highest quality items at the best price and finally starting to make a dent in my shopping list. I'm not in a huge hurry, so I can take my time planning this out and getting stuff I really love and will be excited to wear. I hope to buy a few things this weekend, so stay tuned!
