Wear this, Toss that with Amy Goodman

Style and beauty expert Amy Goodman says dressing poorly costs us  first impressions, money…and a whole lot more. She says we can look good all the time and her new book Wear This Toss That has hundreds of fashion and beauty swaps to help us do just that.  And Amy knows her stuff- a former editor for In Style, she’s been a resident shopping and style expert on the Today show for over seven years, having appeared 70 times.

Here are  the 30 items she says every woman should have in her closet:

4 shirts: 2 button down, 2 blouses

2 stylish t’s: 1 short or long sleeve, 1 tank

5 sweaters: 3 neutral sweaters, 2 colorful sweaters

6 pants: 3 trousers, 3 jeans (one of each for play, date night, work)

3 skirts: 2 pencil or A-line, 1 full/long or short

4 dresses: 2 work/day dresses, 1 little black dress, 1 colorful cocktail dress

3 suits (with pants or skirt): 1 black, 1 other neutral, 1 color

3 coats: 1 trench, 1 fitted blazer, 1 three-quarter length
