Well like everyone else, I entertain myself via Pinterest. I recently came across something called The French Five Piece Wardrobe.
The Vivienne Files does a nice job combining her Common Wardrobe with The 5-Piece here.
Yeah, well, I'm not getting the leather pants...those days have passed for me. I also DO NOT need the black suit. And instead of BF jeans, I go for bootleg every time. I am not wearing black shorts with pasty white legs. One last thing...instead of black it is NAVY for me.
Okay, okay. I also threw in a pair of nude pumps and not only scoop neck tees but v neck tees as well. I wear a lot of tees. I have the grey sheath dress but still want a navy one.
Now I have all my basics except I still would like to get a nice navy dress and I am still looking for all leather, not suede, navy pumps. Sigh.
According to this 5 Piece Plan, I am suppose to buy 5 new pieces in the Spring/Summer and 5 pieces in the Fall/Winter. Replenishing basics does not count. Whew. Good thing, because I have to restock my white tees every year because of toxic sweat.
***Side Note: I really like the Banana Republic's New Essential Vee. I sized up one size for the best fit. I also like Everlane's Cotton U Neck. I did my regular size. Neither are offered in navy at this time. Damn them.***
This is the plan:
I know there is more than five pieces. Baby steps. Because I live in the south, I am claiming the skirt, top, purse, and loafers (I already purchased) as basics. I really should claim the linen pants as basics too but I was afraid I'd get too much shit from you guys. The navy blouse has not arrived so not sure if it is a keeper. The sandals I love but can not pull the trigger. Not sure if I can really justify them in my wardrobe. Hunter is already making fun of my shoe quantity. However, I am trying to move towards no more than 2 1/2 inch heels. Did I convince anyone? Anyone?
