Steffani's original post
I’m looking to add some new clothes to the wardrobe. I have panties, leggings, camis and a pair of jean shorts. What else would be a must have item in the wardrobe? Recommended items should be for a college age lady. Ms. Steffani isn’t a party animal though. So something cute and famine ,but not revealing. thanks ladies.
Here are a few thoughts:
Women's jeans (J. Brand, Rag & Bone, or whatever designer fits you in a way that jeans typically fit women (i.e., fitted). Get several washes: indigo blue, light blue, black and maybe even burgundy.
Leggings in different colors: black, and any other color you like.
Women's sox: buy a couple dozen pairs. Macy's sell cute girly sox with patterns, colors, and stripes. Throw away all of your male sox and underwear if you're committed to this.
Panties - a couple dozen of these too. First decide how much coverage you want - full briefs or thongs? High cut briefs are another option. Victoria's Secret has a large selection of all styles (and panties are currently on sale there).
Cardigan sweaters. Look for styles and colors at Nordstrom, Macy's, J.Jill or anywhere that sells quality like Ann Taylor.
Women's turtlenecks. Women's Cowl Neck sweaters.
Scoop neck t-shirts. V-necks too.
Scarves in a variety of colors and fabrics.
Women's jewelry, including stud earrings.
Women's button-down shirts (Chico's).
Maybe a poncho.
Women's blouses.
3/4 sleeve t-shirts.
Long sleeve layer shirts (Nordstrom, Chico's)
Shoes, of course.
Hope this helps 😉

That was a great list Julia! I really liked how you included accessories and the stores to shop at. Do you know if links are allowed in the forums? if so i'd like to share a couple ideas I have.
Julia's list is awesome - even if stud earrings are impossible for me. 🙂
To her list, I'll add: denim skirts. You can get from short and sassy down to ankle length. They're flexible - you can wear 'em with t-shirts in the summer or tights and sweater in the winter. You can dress 'em up or dress 'em down.
Thanks for the addition Rose. Never done a skirt before. Do you have a store ,or brand that is your favorite?
Pantyhose and heels are staples for me.
Thanks Patty. any favorites in pantyhose and heels?
I like pumps and platforms. I have several of each. For pantyhose I often wear Legg's Sheer Energy and JC Penney Sheer Caress. Those are both real nice pantyhose for a reasonable price.

Yes, as far as I know. Please show your links. What's the worst thing that could happen? Someone will delete your post (but that someone won't be me 😉

If you don't mind sharing Rose, why are stud earrings impossible for you?
I've gotten thousands of compliments (even from complete strangers) over my stud earrings. I've always thought of my earrings as part of my look, and I proudly wear them every day. The minor pain from piercing my ears was totally worth it, and one can always take them off!
here are my outfit links.

I do also have some links for panties I like if interested.
More clothing ideas:
A woman's coat (Nautica makes them - sold at Macy's - and you can also find quality coats at Nordstrom).
A fleece jacket (The North Face makes a lovely one... women come up to me and want to hug me - totally worth it 😉
A rain coat - I found a raspberry colored one with a hood at Land's End.
Faux suede leggings (made by Hue).
A variety of hats (I like berets).
Women's boots if you live where it snows.
Tall leather (or faux leather) boots for fall.
Jogger pants (very chic - sold at Anthropologie).
The best way to discover the basics about women's clothes is to actually go to stores where these clothes are sold. I spent five or more hours (three to four days a week) shopping when I first started. What an education!
Read Allure Magazine or visit their website and subscribe to their daily emails. Also Glamour and Marie Claire. Depending on your age, you might consider websites targeted toward younger women. Or if you're a mature woman, read magazines like Oprah’s magazine, O.
And if you're a fashion sponge like I am, just hang out with women all day and stop looking at men (unless you find them attractive... but even then you don't need to pay attention to their clothes 😉

thank you so much Julia. what did you think of my outfit choices?
Julia I'm 23, so I would need younger women's websites and magazienes.
