This is pretty easy for me! Three pairs of jeans, two long sleeved t-shirts and one sweatshirt.

I am basically doing that for our trip. I'm taking a pair of jeans, a denim skirt and a pair of black pants plus three t-shirts and a dressier shirt. I could cut back by one t-shirt if I had to.

I did this when I traveled for my oldest. I took one dress, a pair of jeans, 1 pair of black slacks, 2 t's and 1 cardigan. I was gone for almost 8 weeks. What I took had to fit in a carry on. So one coat, one pair of pjs, and 3 pairs of shoes (one pair was the heels for the dress). Undergarments for 3 days. I traveled from mid March to early May. The weather was not overly warm, heat was actually shut off in mid April. The day before I huge blizzard hit.

It's fun to see what everyone has been choosing for their six items. Favorites so far seem to be black pants, black dress, and jeans. Most common sweater color so far I think is some variation of tan/beige.

The two most interesting dresses so far beyond the classic little black dress are ones that can be worn in different ways. One has a Navaho design. The other is a neutral color but very versatle. It's the Emami Limitless dress. It can be worn in more than 30 different ways:

I think I'm close to this in a way....maybe 4 pants, maybe 5 or 6 shirts blouses. I have 3 different shoes I'm alternating to trying to get some relief from hammer toe. The rest is coats (4) 2 are identical, one is a coat-coat, and one is a porch jacket. I alternate socks, leg warmers, liners and under layers. Not quite at the challenge. But not buying new clothes either.
