As per your request, here is my Top 10 list for the winter. This was kinda tricky for me to narrow it down, but I picked the essentials in my closet that I always seem to go back to, and that make any outfit look spicy no matter what you pair it with.
Happy shopping pals!

I have those boots and I love them because they DO go with everything!
I love your picks, Sydney! They are great. I'm lusting after that mustard yellow cardigan. I must go get me one!! :)

Agree with the brown boots... I wear mine all the time! Thanks for sharing your top 10... your blog has been seriously helping me revamp my wardrobe!

i'm jealous of your closet... and those chocolate boots because they DO go with everything ... I want to wear all these picks at once ... will that work? :)
I love the mustard yellow cardigan. Great picks!
If I had just a few minutes in your wardrobe.... ha! Love this! Great pieces!
Nice post. Liking these essentials a lot. It's a good starting off point :)

thanks for this. i'm heading off to somewhere winter-y and this is a good start.
I really want a denim button up but they are at no American Eagle anymore...or anywhere period. Is there a place that you can think of that I could find one?? That'd be great! Thanks!
I love this! Been looking everywhere for a list like this :) Can't wait to see your spring essentials!
So true. I live in my skinny jeans and boots. Because it is freezing here. in Florida. This was not in the information booklet. And blazers...to dress up any outfit. I just cleaned out my closet, so I really had to determine what was necessary and pair it down. Love the leather jacket!
I love your picks - they are essentially the same as my essentials (though i much prefer dresses to pants). Love it!

I have to say I agree with al you picks, great choices!
I've been looking for a mustard yellow cardi, but i'm having a bit of trouble. I saw target had one a while ago maybe I'll check again today. Love your blog
;)

love your list! i have about 7 out of the 10 soo not too shabby - but that gives me a little excuse to do some shopping right ;)
Thanks, Sydney! I just found your blog about a week ago, and since I've been hooked! Thanks for sharing your fabulous outfits; you're wonderful fashion inspiration!
I have to say my favorite outfit EVER from you was your day 30/30! COLORS! I just got myself a similar pair of boots and I have been going crazy outfitting them... next up: a denim shirt! Thanks again!

I am actually rocking a mustard yellow cardigan today and I love it. It brighted up my whole day!
I am nodding my head. Yup...necessities. Now I just gotta convince my hubby. :)

I like your picks. But I have to say that I would add one more thing to that list: a warm, chunky cardigan in a neutral color. Maybe it's because I'm in Canada and it's cold - but I can't live without one.

Solid picks! I especially love the cardigan, plaid shirt and denim shirt!
Your boots are amazing! I will be hunting for a similar pair for the upcoming winter! I live in Australia, so our seasons are opposite to yours, though we're lucky that it doesn't get as cold!
I just found your blog a couple of days ago and fell in love with it!
great picks! i just picked up a plaid shirt yesterday cause i felt like it was missing and am so excited to remix it in my winter wardrobe.

Oiiiiii good stuff right there! I've been looking for the perfect denim button-up for what seems like ages and I STILL can't find one. Arhh!
Could not agree more with your picks! ... Love your striped jacket, such a great statement piece! =)

this is so perfect! i love these lists. you should make a different one weekly! like.. top 10 for beach vacation. top 10 for fall. etc. i'm inspired.
at first glance i thought you had posted a photo of jeans - one leg white, one leg dark. i was thoroughly confused. also, is it sad that i immediately detected which purchases came from H&M from the mere glimpse of that little rectangular tag? hope not...
no belt?! I don't believe it!
Oh and I almost bought your "something striped" but when I tried it on, it was July. Seemed weird to buy a jacket then lol

Beautiful, as always!

I really need a great Boyfriend blazer, but I have so much trouble finding one that fits! Such a wardrobe stapel! I also love the mustard cardigan. I have one from Target that looks almost exactly like that one. A must have.
whoa! i have that blazer!! i think i got it at a boutique!! AND i NEED a mustard yellow cardigan.. real bad!!
Good picks. I especially like the mustard yellow cardigan. It looks good on everyone.
love the yellow, but do these picks really keep you warm?
oh good grief, i am in love with all those objects! i am also in love with your editing! editing tutorial on the horizon, please?
Great pieces indeed, top 10 worthy! =)
Gorgeous selection. I love the mustard yellow cardigan,and totally second the 'anything stripy' part.
Oh Sydney, you gem! Thanks so much for this - excellent choices!
I just did some essentials posts for accessories the other day on my blog! :) I really love these options, and I'm pleased I have comparable items to almost all of these pieces in my closet(except, that yellow cardigan I'm dying for!); but then I guess that means no shopping trip for me :(

you have convinced me to try out the sparkle trend. hopefully i can pull it off as good as you! :)
bare essentials are soo important! they make or break your ability to get outfits together!

The sparkle tank, I want one! And a solid colored skirt too.
Just Better Together is having a giveaway!
Thanks for all the great ideas! I love my leather jacket and have found myself wearing it all the time this winter :)
Yes, a plaid button up is a total must!
I believe this is one of the best lists of "must haves of 2011" I have seen! Half of these are already on my list too.. like a few great button ups, a solid colored skirt and dark pants. Good job:)
I love the denim jacket and the striped ^_^
Great blog, I'm going to follow ;)
http://mylovelyvida.blogspot.com
i love all your picks and ESPECIALLY the mustard cardigan (no surprise)!
those pieces are great, and I also own some of them and love them ;-)
i love your famous footwear purchases! i need to start looking there more!
Loving this list. Ok, I am off to buy a solid color skirt now because you said so! =D

I just started a blog & yours is the first I'm commenting on. Mine still needs a lot of work, and I need to actually figure out how to use the darn thing, but I hope you'll check back. Reading yours was a huge source of inspiration for starting mine.
Thanks so much!

I have a sparkly tank like that. I wish you would give some ideas about how to wear it not on New Year's Eve.
i seriously need a good blazer. and a cute sparkly tank.
How do you wear your sparkle shirt? I have on but i never know what to wear it with! I actually put it in my give away pile, so if you could post a picture that'd be great!! :)
These are most definitely essentials for the winter! Love your picks & I am totally lusting over that striped cropped blazer!
XXXO

Yay, so glad I have most of them!
I stumbled across your blog and have fallen in love....
Your blog is really good and I am like your 'Top ten winter wardrobe essentials'.
http://thekeypieces.blogspot.com
I would freeze if those were my winter essentials. :) I do love all of your choices though, specially the mustard cardigan, the plaided shirt and the leather jacket.

i love the denim shirt!
http://mlmylookbook.blogspot.com/
I was looking thru your posts and saw your family is wearing BSU shirts, where are you from? My husband and I live in Boise and are mega fans!
mustard cardigan is my personal winter fav :)
This is great! Have you done one just for everyday essentials?
I have that same denim shirt and I have to admit I wear it an inappropriate amount. This is a great list of items.. you should do more posts like this! :)
http://pieceofcakepeaceofmind.blogspot.com/
Great picks, I was thinking I needed something mustard yellow... maybe a cardigan purchase is in order hmmmm what am I kidding a cardigan purchase is always in order.
I found your blog somehow, not sure how...and I've been hooked ever since. There are a lot of fashion blogs out there, but yours keeps me coming back for more! You have a real future in writing. Keep it up!
Sincerely,

Gah, blazers. I have like 12 blazers. half of them black. I can't resist them. Cropped, boyfriend, fancy lining, pinstripe, navy, white with poofy sleeves. It's nearly a problem.

You hit everything dead on lady! I love a good leather jacket... it's so perfect all year round! :)

I totally agree with your picks! I especially love the mustard cardigan and boots. And I'm on the hunt for a chambray shirt, I've tried to resist but I'm obsessed!
Great picks. I've been really into mustard colored cardigans lately. They seem perfect for everything.

I definitely agree with you on these! I've been looking for the *perfect* sparkly top, but have yet to find it, unfortunately. Thanks for the inspiration!
those boots... yessss.

These are great Winter essentials. I wear a lot of plaid during the season and stripes never get old!
Don't know why I hadn't come across your blog before! I love it and I love your style, I'm your newest follower : )
I LOVE the boots! AND, I've got a closet full of stripes right now. Love it!

Thank you for posting this! Now I have an excuse to go shopping! I need a good blazer and a good pair of boots.
