Clothing Essentials Challenge

I love the ideas from the becomingminimalist blog. It suggests ways we can have more in life even as we own less stuff. 

I found the post about cleaning out clothes, however, to be tricky to carry out (see becomingminimalist). 

Even after weeding through, you'll notice that my closet still looks maximum. 

How do we pare down our clothes closets so that we still look "put together"? 

Here's the first step to meet this creative challenge:  

• Step 1: We need a practical guide to help us. Check out this great article from the March edition of Lucky magazine. The article shows you 90 looks (both work and casual) that you can create using a few essential pieces. Take a look at the video on the online magazine - Luckymag.com. 

Buy the magazine or watch the video and make a list of the essentials. We'll use it as a guide only. You want to create a look that's all your own!
