Pencil skirts, in particular a black one.
Black slacks, plenty of em.
Little black dress
Cardigans, black, a neutral and any other colors. Must have to throw over dresses etc.
Dark jeans.
A nice coat that can be worn when you are dressed up.
A few nice dresses so when you need something for weddings, cocktail evetns etc. you don't have to panic about going out to find something.
My main rule for shopping is if I see something I love and I can swing it, I buy it. Because lord knows when you need something, you can never find it!

Good topic.
A WHOLE wardrobe??! This list could be longggg... however, I'll just go with basics and keep it brief.
1-3 Jackets/Coats
1-2 Hoodies or Track Jackets (I like to wear these to the gym)
2-3 pairs of nice dress jeans
2-3 pair of casual jeans
3-4 pair of black slacks (for work and dress)
2-3 pair of cordouroy/khaki/solid color pants (for work or play)
1 classic black dress
1-6 dresses in a variety of styles (because I love dresses)
1-6 skirts in a variety of styles (because I heart skirts)
Plenty of dress tops (for nightlife/dinner/play/etc)
Plenty of casual tops (FOR FUN and downtime)
Plenty of accessories (scarves, hats, jewelry, hair accessories, etc.)
Plenty of shoes!!!
Black stockings with those cool designs in them, solid black, white, and colored tights, and of course FUNKY SOCKS!!!
If you're a handbag/purse guru, then I'm sure you'll have your collection of bags, but I would like 2-3 designer bags and 2-3 clutches/small purses...
I don't wear belts much, but some of those, too.
That's all.

1. A great good, warm, preferably furry jacket.
2. 2 good hoodies to throw on if you're running out.

4. 3 different band shirts.
5. A black pencil skirt that goes below the knee.
6. 3 cute dresses, one with a full circle skirt, a fancy slim one, and one you can wear to a picnic/barbeque.
7. 2 Cardigans.
8. 2 sheer-lace tops to put over tube tops or such for work.
9. Black slacks (not made of mostly cotton because those shrink and don't last).
10. A wide waist-cincing belt, and a belt to sling onto your hips.
11. A few spaghetti-strap camisoles.

Good pairs of jeans that fit right
A good suit (that can last a lifetime)
Heels for suit
Calf-length boots
Knee-high boots
Flared skirts in solid colors
A few white shirts
Quality t-shirts
Several dressy pairs of shoes
A nice dress or two
Shorts (for the summer)
Tank tops
The key to building a good wardrobe is investing in stuff you'll always wear and then spending less on stuff that's trendy.
