I cleaned out my closet after graduation from school and then again after I quit working in banking.

So I'm literally down to essentialls now and rebuilding, great questions.
1. What do you think should be included in every good wardrobe? The most important pieces?
--I would say probably something you would feel comfortable wearing to any of the events you might face in the near future-ie are you more likely to have a job interview/lunch with a friend/a black tie event or more likely to go to a party/a soccer match/school...
2. When cleaning out your closet, how do you decide what to ditch? How often do you throw stuff out?
--If it's too big- definetely ditch. If it's too small I'll sometimes keep because I'm nuts that way. I will sometimes try tons and tons of things on and try to be really honest about things that simply don't look good. Anything which cannot be repaired, is stained etc, goes. I rarely part with "important" designer pieces. I tend to collect... I never part with those clothes which have serious sentimental value-
3. How is your closet organized? By color, products, designers?
--For the most part it is organized by type of clothing, skirts, jackets, trousers, dresses. Those things which don't get worn any longer (ie- the sentimental pieces) are stored in the part of my closet which I cannot readily access anyway. Very out of season items often go in a cedar chest.
4. What do you think your wardrobe says about you? Bombshell, Classic, Sex Kitten, Sporty, ect.
--Maybe classic with a twist, I don't know anymore. Definetely not bombshell, definetely not sex kitten. I like to play with the whole masculine/feminine thing so white man tailored shirts, v neck sweaters, small jackets, man tailored shirts, pencil skirts, a serious supply of jeans, stilettos... etc.
5. What's your favorite piece of clothing in your wardrobe?
--Ok I am going to go with a sentimental piece over everything else- a black Katayone Adeli strapless top which I've had for something like 5 years now and I always fel great when I wear it. The material is really bizzare, it is very flattering, versatile... but mostly I have great memories of wearing it!
6. What are you missing?
--Seeing as how I have an impossible to fit inseam, enough long trousers! Seriously it is a crisis.
7. Any advice on building or revamping a wardrobe?
-- Do a major cleaning and throw out everything that doesn't fit, doesn't get worn, etc- if nothing else it is cathartic. Go back to question 1.
