I'd say I have around 40-50. But, I've had some skirts since I was in college. I buy classic skirts, so they last a long time and I do work in a business setting so I have to wear dress clothes 6 days out of the week.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903093506019623439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905983394334183073.post-88520592552157475602015-07-28T21:12:28.961-04:002015-07-28T21:12:28.961-04:00I wish I could wear pencil skirts - so cute, but s...I wish I could wear pencil skirts - so cute, but so terrible on my figure. I like how you mix and match your clothes so well - you put colors together I wouldn't think of. But here's a question I've wanted to ask for a while. I remember reading in one of your blog posts that you have about 75 skirts. Is that right? It just seems like an impossibly high number, lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905983394334183073.post-79134455424352495402015-07-28T09:10:46.316-04:002015-07-28T09:10:46.316-04:00Great post and a great help to ladies! :)Great post and a great help to ladies! :)RebekahThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400783554145398568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905983394334183073.post-91523335072888616962015-07-28T08:22:30.643-04:002015-07-28T08:22:30.643-04:00Thanks.for this reminder Thanks.for this reminder Samanthanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905983394334183073.post-58328073520808900612015-07-27T17:31:05.964-04:002015-07-27T17:31:05.964-04:00I've increased my skirt and dressed wearing ov...I've increased my skirt and dressed wearing over the last 3 months from reading your blog.

But a couple things that are an absolute must in my closet is a good brown skirt or two and brown sandals or flats. I'm talking dark brown. I personally don't care for kahki (when you have a 4, 2, and 5 month old light colors just don't work as We'll anymore) . That's just my preference though. 😊Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905983394334183073.post-32005526682999794262015-07-27T11:15:00.203-04:002015-07-27T11:15:00.203-04:00Great ideas.

Start with a good bra that lifts and fits and flatters, no sagging. Nice panties, whatever cut you prefer, but something that fits and no sagging there either. Use a slip when needed. I've seen ladies that dress pretty and modestly then I notice that I can see right through their skirts....to the thong panties they are wearing. Yikes and yuck! If you don't like slips, try Peddi Pants (I think that's what they are called), they are a kind of split skirt slit, I have a couple of those and wear them some, they come in cotton and silk. For those of us who have had several children and may experience some toning issues, wear shape wear. The Spanx brand is the best but if you can't afford it, I have used Kohl's brand and they work ok too. I also think that making sure your hair is clean, well groomed and some sort of style is essential. I know I can look really put together but if I'm having a bad hair day (dirty hair or been putting off a cut, etc.) I still don't think I look good. I've been following someone on Instagram who is doing a capsule wardrobe and I just couldn't do it. I find too many good deals at yard sales and thrift stores and clearance and I don't spend that much money clothing myself or my kids or husband so I'm not sure why I would want a capsule wardrobe. <br /><br />RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905983394334183073.post-12904489834733332722015-07-27T05:39:31.463-04:002015-07-27T05:39:31.463-04:00This is a great list, I am trying a two season cap...This is a great list, I am trying a two season capsule wardrobe but there are about 150 pieces in each and then a work one and a formal one. I do wear pants so i keep some jeans, dress slacks and soft printed pants, but i use plain tops and some printed and blouses and skirts and dresses in plain and printed and i also have a range of jackets and cardigans and layering tops and coats to make outfits different. I try to change jewellery as i make most of my own jewellery and shoes but i have to wear braces on my legs so shoes are limited for color and style but i make it work. Its just about trying out ideas and see how it goes and just keeping at it, <br /><br />Becci<br />rebeccafashionandlife.blogspot.com.au BionicZebraGirl952https://www.blogger.com/profile/02384357726741036420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-905983394334183073.post-2045788143215343512015-07-26T22:36:12.731-04:002015-07-26T22:36:12.731-04:00This is a great list to start with!

Another modest staple for me is my Downeast tanks- they have cap sleeves so I can wear them under a normal tank and still be modest or under a lace shirt and have my shoulders covered!
