Okay...I stumbled across this term on another board. Apparently this is the garment that languishes in the back of your closet, because, ah, it doesn't go with anything else you own.
That is one of the keys to developing a wardrobe that works...things have to work together. Any time I'm shopping...and I have been doing that lately, partly from necessity, partly because I actually like the idea of developing a wardrobe based not on my former (cheap, excellent, no-brainer) source of clothing, but rather on my own wits...I always think the following:
What am I going to do with it? Where am I going to wear it?
What does it go with that I already own? It should fit into at least two separate outfits, preferably four or five or more.
The obvious--how do you clean it? I don't dryclean unless absolutely necessary; likewise ironing.
Where was it made? I generally don't buy clothing made in China. I've had way too many experiences with the stuff falling apart after a few washes (if that many).
fashion, style
