I won a pair of new-with-tags Gap Long and Lean Jeans on ebay yesterday. $21 including shipping. I love the internet, I rilly rilly do.

Basics for a 35 year old mother of two under 5, who works in an academic setting:
1. Jeans that make you feel sexy and are also comfortable.
2. A-line skirt to the knee.
3. Comfortable shoes (I like Dansko clogs).
4. Wide-leg pants.
5. Strappy shelf-bra camisole.
6. Woolly cardigan.
7. Black tights.
8. Princess-seamed blouse (that FITS).
9. A signature piece of jewelry.
10. Flattering cotton-spandex t-shirt.
