It's all about the clothes

What article of clothing do you wear most often and automatically reach for in times of Wardrobe Crisis?

Mine is a brown leather biker vest with buffalo head nickles covering the snaps.

Black Levi 501s[1], it's the only trousers I wear. "On duty" (work or other special occasions) a white short-sleeved shirt, otherwise black t-shirt. On very special occasions (interviews, funerals, weddings) I'll also wear a tie with the white shirt (if I remember to take it with me to whatever); the tie is black. Black socks and shoes.

I don't do colours *g*...

(I remember staying with a friend, and in the morning she was at a loss which colour to wear. "Strange," I said, "I don't have that problem...")

[1] They happen to fit my shape better than any other brands. By now I've almost forgotten what to do with a zipped fly...

my blue/teal/green/maroon/rust scarf with the flower embroideries. Goes with almost everything I own, and was given to me by a dear friend when she was put on hospice. She was gone a week later. She knew me so well, and it's like a permanent hug every time I wear it.

Until it's properly warm out, it's a purple tape-knit jumper with silver threads. It's soft, it's drapey, it dresses up or down, and it's the sexiest sweater I've ever worn. (I blame Bollywood for the latter, thanks to a string of movies featuring hot men in tape-knit jumpers.)

Once it's warmer, I'll switch to the hip-length openwork vest with ties up the front. I've seen them cycle through fashion trends at least three times since I bought it in high school.

I have two actually, depending on the weather.

I have an empire waistline, forest green cotton lawn, slightly puffed sleeve, square necked sundress. It is the lightest, airiest thing I own, and is comfortable from about 70F on up. It makes even 100% humidity and 90F pleasant, even if I have to appear "dressed up". Heck, even if I don't need to be dressed up, I grab it often because it is so comfortable.

If it's cold out (which for me can mean below 80F), I will grab my polarfleece jacket. It has a kangaroo pocket, a hood, is massively oversized, rather wind resistant and very snuggly. The pocket is large enough to fit an in progress knit sock, or a spindle and fiber along with pretty much anything else that would go in a purse. Better, it's *deep* enough that the various items I tend to stuff in there stay put. It is pretty much the perfect fuzzy warmth.

Long soft cotton rose-brown skirt with a green "hoodie" shirt, belted with the acorn belt. Comfort clothing and comfortable too. Additional layers underneath as needed.

My black SAS shoes........because if the feet ain't comfortable, the rest of it doesn't matter. :-)

Teal colored knit dress from Coldwater Creek - three quarter length sleeve, three quarter length skirt, clingy enough for skinny days, loose enough for not-so-skinny days, comfy, flattering, goes with damn near every jacket and vest and scarf I own.

I wish I had bought a dozen of 'em.
