    I would identify one or two gaps in the wardrobe and fill those. Do you have good basics?

    What is your style? Are you looking for day to day wear, "work" stuff or clothes for a night out?

    I'd agree with fits, I'd go through my wardrobe in detail and identify a few key items that I need, and then invest in that. It's easy to spend the cash on a 'special' piece, and then get little to no wear out of it. You'd be better to invest in what you need and be able to wear more than once a year.

    Hi I'm pretty ok for work clothes . I'm looking for some nice casual day clothes. For school run, visiting friends, strolling around shops etcHave a couple of blazers and black tops. Usually wear black skinny jeans with long top or black trousers with top top and red blazer .... Lots of black it seems!

    Oh completely want something that I can wear more than once . It's everyday clothes I'm looking for. For school run, park with kids, visiting friends and window shopping trips haha

    Not sure. What would you class as basics. Sorry if I sound silly but have lived in trackies for years now and recently black skinny jeans

    By basics I mean items you can build your wardrobe around. Like a good handbag, well fitting jeans, wool coat etc,

    I'd always invest money in coats, handbags and shoes. Other things can be purchased as required (i.e. fashion fixes), but coats, handbags and shoes really set the tone of an outfit.
