Minimal wardrobe - part I

Sometimes I think about what it would be like to start a wardrobe from scratch and how many items one actually needs. Also: can everyone afford to buy only fairly made clothes? Obviously not but how much money do you actually need to do that?

Here is a list of 19 pieces from Garance that I will try to illustrate with fairly made clothes within the next days. I think her list works well for many months of the year when you live in a temperate climate. Sure, it's not for everyone's taste - go ahead, make your own list and please leave it in a comment:

1 black cashmere turtleneck
1 grey cashmere v-neck
3 (silk) shirts
3 pairs of flats
1 pair of high heels
2 pairs of skinny jeans
boyfriend jeans
2 blazers (black, navy)
straight-cut skirt
1 scarf
1 dress
1 coat
1 light-weight parka
