Yeah, there are a few really cheap basics that I would suggest (like headbands, panties/thongs, and some belts), but for the most part, investing in the higher end commons can really come in handy because you buy them once and all your colors are there.

Baseless with a skin is the easiest to start with. It's pretty much the same, but you can play with little details, like putting hair under your skin so the bangs don't show, or covering up the better part of a skirt so it only pokes out at the sides, like a butt cape.

As you get more and more commons to fill in gaps the DIs and event items leave behind, you can actually construct your own body, like I've done for my snake here. I couldn't use any base OR skin, because they would all give me arms, which I didn't want.
