None of the books cover tropical stuff unless for a holiday. Nice, but Not much use for when you live, work and play in a hot climate. I think I will develop my own!

I like a front button shirt because to me it always looks more "dressed up" than even the nicest t shirt, and is cooler to wear. <br />Your list sounds much more realistic to me than wardrobe 101. I don't think any of those lists allow for living in a warm climate with minimal jacket requirements. I particularly appreciate your inclusion of a cardi/scarf that can be rolled up - even better if it can fit in your handbag!kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-81553608360569321822011-06-01T14:52:42.133-07:002011-06-01T14:52:42.133-07:00Oh, and I love love love the shirt too!

Being a geek, I especially appreciate if those are in good technical fabrics, ie the sports bra really support and the t-shirts really wick. And you could add that your outerwear should really protect you, not being 'a fitted jacket' but a jacket that'll cut the wind and keep you warm as you wait the odd half-hour for the bus or whatever.<br /><br />I also second Mary Nanna about the white shirt. Not only is it totally unpractical, but some of us look like death warmed over in stark white. At best, I can do a nice big linen shirt, good for lazy summer days, that looks a lot more Italian when tossed on unironed :-).Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-55416501678394835702011-05-31T23:32:45.967-07:002011-05-31T23:32:45.967-07:00The shirt is very pretty and looks great with thos...The shirt is very pretty and looks great with those pants - Liberty prints are just gorgeous. I just love your list. In fact, I could just about copy it for myself. <br /><br />I find myself raising an eyebrow about the Wardrobe 101 list. All the wardrobe capsule style books state the need for a simple white shirt and you know what - it's the ONE thing I would never wear. You have to iron it, you have to launder it carefully with other pale objects, and I look terrible in white. It's not true there is a shade of white for everyone - some people just don't suit pale colours.<br /><br />So Bravo your wardrobe list of things you actually need and would actually wear!Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-38859786968549464652011-05-31T22:09:44.693-07:002011-05-31T22:09:44.693-07:00Good list!

Now that I'm finally a mummy I am much more appreciative of clothes which don't require ironing, and those which can be put on at the absolute last minute. <br /><br />Also, it's lovely to hear that bookgroup is still going strong! Please give my love to everyone there. <br /><br />NxxNaomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571478253607723896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-31870933699990875072011-05-31T21:54:34.340-07:002011-05-31T21:54:34.340-07:00Great shirt and what a wonderful Liberty you used....Great shirt and what a wonderful Liberty you used. I love the contrasting stand and plackets. <br /><br />I have done the same as above-made my own wardrobe essentials list. I have divided it into warm weather/casual, winter travel, sport/work clothes, going out clothing. There is quite a lot of overlap but that was the only way I could organize myself. Staying within these parameters keeps me clear about what I NEED to sew and what I WANT to sew.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517527498809073174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-87652854997614255712011-05-31T20:22:01.919-07:002011-05-31T20:22:01.919-07:00Your blouse is very pretty and wonderful work on t...Your blouse is very pretty and wonderful work on the placket and that is usually me with the buttons, pay more for them than the fabric.<br /><br />If you are interested I have the indexes for Australian Stitches, volume 12 to 17 on my blog if you want a copy.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14691687252337993643noreply@blogger.com
