The Blessed and Fit Home Schooling Mommy: Minimalist Wardrobe / Pink Plaid Button Down / Back Button Shirt

How to build a wardrobe of clothes you really like? My example is what I call the "Minimalist Wardrobe" Find nice quality key pieces that you can use as layering pieces in fall/winter, and use them as your casual tee's and button downs on your casual comfy days. These pieces should be something you can use for the next 2-3 years. Nothing too trendy.

I have over this last 2 years, gone through my closet and gave away more than 3/4 of it. If it wasn't something that I would buy now or haven't worn in 2 years I got rid of it. How many of you feel like you should do the same?

I've started mine with this list of items for the fall/winter:

(You can add to it or take away depending on your style but for me this has worked well)

2 White tee's 1 short sleeved and 1 long sleeved
2 Black tee's 1 short sleeved and 1 long sleeved
2 Navy tee's 1 short sleeved and 1 long sleeved
3 Flannels I prefer the soft and flowy ones
4 Patterned dressy shirts: 1 Gingham, 1 polka dot,1 leopard, and 1 blush
1 Black and white stripe tee
2 Blue and white stripe tee's
4 Cardigans a navy, brown, black, and patterned
1 pattern of your choice shirt IE: floral, Aztec, lace, etc
At least 4 sweaters (I now have about 15) 1 black, 1 grey, 1 burgundy, and 1 mustard
4 Pairs of Jeans 1 black, 1 white, 1 light jeans, and 1 dark wash
6 Pairs of shoes 1 pair of leopard booties, 1 pair of black booties, 1 pair of tan booties, 1 pair of wedged booties, 1 pair of toms, 2 pairs of sandals you can dd more but make sure they are something you can use for the next 2 seasons
