Re-purposed Purpose-fuls

Basics. We are constantly being bombarded by the fashion and style media on the importance of basics. How they can provide a canvas for our own ever evolving personal style and save us time and money by always allowing us to have something to turn to. Basics are essential and most people agree on the select ten or so true basic wardrobe items. However, I have come up with my own list and, as I adore list-making, it is rather "complete". I would like to share with you my list of wardrobe essentials by "taking on" one item each week and sharing what I have found that stay true to my philosophy of using re-purposed, handmade, vintage, secondhand, and organic products whenever possible.
