'Tis the season to recycle...

Yes, recycling! That byword of all things ecofriendly can also be the secret to the perfect wardrobe.  In a season like that of A/W 2009-10, where the '80's, the '70's, the '40's and the '90's all coalesce it is easy to "make do" with what we already have in our closets. Think about it: 

Leggings? Check

LBD? Check

Leather biker jacket? Check

Booties? Check

Skinny black trousers (jeans or otherwise)? Check

Trench coat? Check

Oversize sweater? Check

Basic T-shirt? Check

Boyfriend blazer? Check

Pencil Skirt? Check

Flat knee high boots? Check

11 items that conform the perfect winter 2009 wardrobe and that you probably already possess.  Isn't that a neat trick?! All you have to do is place them in a place of prominence in your wardrobe and check through the rest of your clothes to see what you have that works well with them. But that whole "organize your closet and work it" chapter is best left for another day.
