First things first, when you find yourself in the position when you have NOTHING to wear, here is the emergency list of what I would suggest you get ...
1) Get yourself a cute t-shirt
2) Get a skirt - either denim or black
3) Get some sparkly shoes
4) Get a cute cardigan or shrug for mid-season coverage
4) Get a cute cardigan or shrug for mid-season coverage
This at least buys you some time to get other things to add to wardrobe....
However, can I challenge you to actually check what you already have?
Check if you have the following hanging in your closet:
- a really nice cardigan or knit that goes with jeans or a cute skirt?
- a great jacket - like a trench or something that could be retro with some new buttons or a brooch?
- some groovy scarves you have had scrunched up in the back of that drawer that holds your knee high stockings?
- a crisp white or black shirt that can be ironed into pristine condition for a change from t-shirts?
- some cool pairs of jeans? They can be wide leg, straight leg, skinny leg - just make sure that they fit well and accentuate your good bits... Finding good jeans is H.A.R.D. (esp on a tight budget or with a big bottom, or in my case - both of these things....)

I hope you find some treasures lurking in your wardrobes that can add some nice features for this season's look....
