Okay, as promised, I looked at my old list and revised some items.
I didn't have time to do the combinations yet, or provide with pictures/examples, but that sounds like a fun project for later on.
Anyways, here goes!!
I used black and gray as my staples b/c those are the colors I wear most often. If you generally wear warmer tones, substitute black and gray with brown & navy or olive as your basics.
