Wardrobe Staples

While it's a great feeling to have purged over half my wardrobe, i'm a little overwhelmed (err underwhelmed?) with such few clothes hanging in the closet.  As excited as I am to add new pieces, I'm not going to rush out and buy new clothes for the sake of buying new clothes.  This got me thinking about what pieces are needed in each wardrobe.  I've been working on my list the past few days and I think I've finally pared it down to thirty five staple pieces.  I know we all have more than 35 items in our wardrobe, but these are essentials I feel every wardrobe shouldn't go without.

These pieces will be staples in your wardrobe for years while other fads will come and go.  With that in mind, these items are worth spending a little more on for quality items.  My original goal was 30 items on the list, but I couldn't cut anything else out.  In an effort to curtail the urge to restock my closet on impulse buys, I've going to try to refrain from shopping for myself for the remainder of 2013.  This may seem a little extreme since Black Friday falls between now & the end of the year, but I fully intend on making a Christmas list for the hubs, to be fulfilled on BF.  I don't have all the items on my wardrobe staples list in my wardrobe yet, but am going to spend 2014 making sure I do!

Is there a gap in your wardrobe that needs to be filled?  Have you ever gone on a self-imposed shopping fast?
