Okay, I didn't see any other ladies replying to that thread and Quora, so I used the time to consider what I have and would like to add:
TOPS
• Dress Shirts (white, black, light and dark blue)
• Camisole (white, black, navy, blush, etc. - soft and drapy, silk perhaps) (some with, some without a shelf bra if I can find the right fit)
• Compression top, preferably in more than black
• A fancy shirt with ruffles and/or lace if I can match it with period costume even better)
• Turtleneck (I already get good mileage here with red, black, white, grey/black striped)
BOTTOMS
• Skinny jeans for work parties and so on
• Suit/dress pants for when I must
• Shorts (above the knee, certainly, 6-9" inseam
• A black maxi
• A black midi
• Various pencil skirts, A-line, etc. that run from the knee up to about 2" above the knee
• Throw in various belted, pocketed, with fly items in the skirt department If I like them
• A few miniskirts or just a tad longer
• Running and workout skirts (like gym shorts)
LEGWEAR
• A supply of support hose (suntan, beige, midnight black, blue, white - match skirts)
• A supply of tights for cooler weather (midnight black, blue, white)
• A supply of leggings (leather-look, lace, patterned - mostly in midnight black)
• A supply of fleece-lined tights and leggings for the really cold weather
DRESSES
• A little red dress (with a V-neck, so I have to wear a turtleneck or something under it…or at least want to)
• A sweater dress (black, burgundy) with scoop necks (see above)
• Something shirt-like, suit-like...if I see it and it likes me....
OUTERWEAR
• Sweater (neutral, mixable with suit jacket/blazer)
• 2 Suits (Navy, charcoal gray)
• Blazer (Navy, olive, black, gray)
• Overcoat (black)
• Raincoat (black)
FOOTWEAR
• Black Brooks walkers
• Black corfam (fake patent leather) dress shoes
• Brown ankle boots (3" heels, I just saw some with 1.5" that I have to try)
• Mary Janes (flats) something with a strap, ankle strap maybe a slight tilt/heel as well as flat
BLING
• A longer chain so I can wear my Celtic cross without choking, maybe some other neutral neckwear
• Maybe something that can be attached to a jacket, blouse, sweater - broach?
• Bracelet of some kind
• Whips, chains....errrrr....oops, wrong forum....
Okay, will have to think longer about 'bling.' I still have trouble with the red dress, but I got it real cheap, and want to stay somewhere halfway between manly on the right and maybe halfway towards womanly on the left...but no doubt still a guy having fun.
Now if we could bottle whatever SkirtsDad uses...or OldSalt1...or JeffB1959....
