What exact items should a woman own, missing from this list?

I'm writing a story in which a woman is given absolutely everything she would need to start over her life. I can handle things like new town, new job, new house, new name, but I also want a very exact list of items, especially clothing and I don't know much about the kind of clothing a professional woman should have. I've started a list here, am I missing anything? -- Work Items Tower computer, large monitor, keyboard, mouse, mousepad, printer, printer paper, scanner, laptop, smart phone, house phone, computer headset, reference books, pens, pencils, writing paper, file cabinet, labels, and bin.

Why does this matter for your story? Is it important? If I were a reader and came across a big list like this, I'd skip it or stop reading. Is this really needed for your story? I'm sorry, but it's just too much. Just say she got everything she needed to live a nice life, you can say it was a lot of stuff or not a lot. I bet a normal woman wouldn't bother to keep track of all their articles of clothing. If there is a purpose to it and it really needs to be perfect for you, then I'll help. I'm thinking she'd need some money and a card that could identify her, like a driver's license. Also, she could use a birth certificate. Things she'd need: -birth certificate -silverware -furniture -bedding -curtians/blinds -food -cleaning supplies BTW, all the things you listed are not completely needed to start over and remember people are cheap. She can go without make up and two different umbrellas.

Sandy asks…

What makeup should I wear to homecoming?

Well, I am young and don't wear make-up usually but for this I will. I am wearing a red dress with gold heels. I plan to curl my hair. I am really just looking ideas for eye make-up. Thanks.

Okay, do you plan to look soft and glowing or BOL D? It doesn't really matter, 'cause I've got tips for both. First you've got to understand that I won't suggest any brands, because it sounds like advertising and also it really doesn't matter as long as the colour is present. It also doesn't matter whether it's long last or whatever either. So first the look for your eyes: First apply a translucent-y white shadow over all your lids, and the space between your eyebrow and the bottom of the lid. Then apply a peachy eyeshadow on your lid area and a little bit above, just a thin layer. Then do the same but a little lower, on the lid as well, so the peach line could be seen. Then take a soft dusky pink and do it AGAIN so that you have a gradual transition from peach to gold to dusk. Finally, apply a gold liner on your lashes -- you can do it with black or pink too. That's the soft look, you can brush a bit of gold powder on your cheeks too, with some clear gloss on your lips. Now for the BOLD look: Brush the white eyeshadow like you did for the soft look, then apply a brown eyeshadow or a red one over it, so you can still see a soft white shadow. Then maybe go over with a gold, or an orange.... Use a bold liner, like a black or a red -- gold's too subtle for this look but you can experiment. Highlight your cheekbones with a dusky pink rouge, and use lipstick as well as liner and gloss if you want. Personally, I prefer the softer look because it doesn't jazz you up too much - but again, this is your homecoming. Don't overdo the white eyeshadow, smudge it at the edges to blend it in with your skin.
