So I'm "working from home" today and decided to tune into Oprah. I think it may have been a rerun, but who cares. Anyway, she had Lloyd Boston on giving women makeovers (ps - I am desperate need on a makeover myself, sheesh). Anyway, in one segment, Lloys runs down a list of key items that every woman should have in her closet. i took notes and decided to share with you all:

1. A Trench Coat -- in a bright color
2. A Turtle Neck -- one in black and one in white
3. A Pair of Great Fitting Black Pants
4. A Tunic
5. A Pair of White Jeans
6. A Pair of Dark Jeans (tip: wash them inside out to keep them from fading)
7. A Black Dress that works for you
8. A White Denim Jacket, OR a Dark, Dark Blue Denim Jacket (no in-between colors)
9. A Black Skirt
10. A Tiimeless Cashmere Sweaters

11. A Crisp Classc White Button Down Shirt

He also mentioned cute flats (that look like you want to wear them, not that you have to) and a big oversized bag.
