wardrobe pieces? I saw an article. Just wondering how many of these you have: 1.Little black dress 2.White dress shirt 3.Dark wash or boot cut jeans 4.Diamond Stud earrings 5.A-line skirt 6.Classic handbag 7.Cashmere sweater 8.Blazer 9. Heels I have the little black dress,white dress shirt, bootcut jeans, and a blazer. According to the article these are the pieces you should build a wardrobe on. Funny accept for the dress I got the rest of my pieces at the thrift store.

Hi, I've got all of them except for the white dress shirt. I use or wear these 8 items, depending on the occasions except for the diamond earrings, which I hardly wear at all.

Let me check my closet for a moment... 1) Little black dress--I don't have a lot of dresses because I'm short-waisted and dresses don't tend to fit properly on me. I have a black skirt and blouse that sort of look like a dress when I wear them together. Does that count? 2) White dress shirt--Check 3) Dark Wash or boot cut jeans--Check 4) Diamond Stud earrings--Real diamonds? Of course, real diamonds--a true fashionista would never wear fakes! *hides the cubic zirconias in the sock drawer* 5) A-line skirt--I'm not sure what qualifies as A-line. I have several skirts with varying degrees of poofiness. 6) Classic handbag--Again, I need some clarification here. Classic? As opposed to what? I have a handbag. It holds things. 'nuff said. 7) Cashmere sweater. Sorry, no cashmere in my wardrobe, darlings. This is one piece I wish I could have. But unless the perfect cashmere sweater in my size and colour gets donated to the local thrift store, I will just have to go without. *sigh* 8) Blazer. I have two blazers. One is grey and the other denim. 9) Heels. It depends on how you define heels. I have both pumps and dress sandals that put me a couple of inches taller than my normal height. But I don't wear stilettos because I don't look good in a neck brace. Which is what I'd end up wearing if I tried walking in stilettos. So...do I pass? Am I hip or hopeless?

I have them all. I didn't know they were the 9 essential I just have gotten one here one there over the years.

Nope, I don't own any of the 9 essentials. I wear mostly jeans, but I don't like the boot cut ones and I don't wear any of the others.

I own none of the above. I never dress up, so have no reason to own any of the above. I do have 1 black skirt, I think. I've worn it to hubby's company's Christmas parties with a white sweater. Oh I do have heels too, and a cute little handbag to go with a more dressy outfit. I don't own any earings because my ears are not pierced and I hate clip ons. I have plenty of jeans because that's all I wear, and most of them are boot cut because that's the big style these days, but most of them are so worn they wouldn't do well for dressing up. I've never owned a blazer, or white dressy shirt, or anything made of cashmere. I haven't worn an actual dress in about 10 years. I spend most of my time in my jammies anyways, lol.

I have 8 essentials out of 9, but I hardly wear any except the jeans. Most of mine are from the thrift store too.
