If you REALLY want to get minimal, I had been browsing sites of image/wardrobe consultants & there was one woman who claimed she could make 66 outfits out of only TEN pieces! Hmmm ... think we should put that challenge out to readers & see what they come up with?? ;) Hey, I'd consider that a minimalist wardrobe (yours)!

I guess in your case, you could sway your wardrobe closer to being mostly skirts/dresses rather than pants eh? :)

Froydis: The casual jacket is from asos.com based in Europe, but I do think they ship worldwide.

As for quality t-shirts, you can either go upscale at Banana Republic, or do like me, and go to Smart Set and watch for the shirts that go on sale for 2/$18…

The kind of material you’re looking for is a bit stretchy, smooth, thin, and NOT a thick or kind of crumply cotton. Hard to explain, but if you wore a good quality shirt, it shouldn’t stretch at the neck after a couple of tries (you can compare a brand new shirt to the ones that have obviously been tried), and it should feel good on your skin.

Plus, it depends on what you’re using it for – working out? Wearing normally?

The Gap is not bad either, but I haven’t been to these stores lately (trying to avoid temptation you see….) so I can’t really offer any good advice except for trying Smart Set – I’ve had great luck with them.

If you don’t have that store in the U.S., try Banana Republic, The Gap, or any of those ‘higher’ chains. Old Navy is good for cheap t-shirts, but the colour fades/washes out/bleeds and the cotton quality is crap.

Ms. M&P: You and me both! I need to find some backups :|
