Two weeks ago, I stood on top of my bathroom counter and asked you take some risks in shopping.

I have mentioned before that wardrobe does matter. And that you should invest in you (like getting into a killer pair of J brand cigarette jeans). I have admitted that I prefer quality over quantity when it comes something like a basic tee. And that my fall uniform is a pair of jeans and a cropped jacket. I have even let you peek inside my closet. I think of my wardrobe as a collection. For me it's like a hobbyist searching for those items that will complete their collection. Such as in an art collector seeking that one final masterpiece or a chef seeking out delicate spices for their creation. That's how I shop. That is also how the European women are forced to shop for their tiny closets. They fill their closets with the finest pieces they can afford. They have one evening purse, one day purse, one pair of killer heels, one pair of everyday shoes and well... you get the point. If you begin to think of your wardrobe as a collection and begin to think like a hobbyist you too can have one stinking awesome closet. Let me make it clear that you do not need millions of dollars to have a working wardrobe. You just have to think of the staples a millionaire would have in her closet.

One of my most favorite cropped jackets is from H&M for a whopping $25 I purchased four years ago.

My winter "think like a millionaire" wardrobe staples are as follows: cropped jacket in a fun color, longer jacket in color, simple black dress, one trendy top, a basic tee, nice pair of jeans, sensible pair of trousers, a black pencil skirt, one trendy top, comfy pair of sweats, killer pair of heels, everyday ballet flats, an evening purse, a tote, and a simple necklace. Some of the items below are similar to what took me years to acquire into one working collection. One of them I am still dreaming of to complete my collection (can you fellow fashionistas guess which one? clue: matches my last dress purchase) ...
