I have most in my closet already. My best purchase of the season is my The Row boyfriend jacket. I have't found my perfect pair of booties yet. I need black platforms that aren't too high. I'm a stylish, fashion loving 50 year old. It's an easy year to be on trend yet age appropriate. Loved the list. I have most in my closet already.

I think this is such a fabulous list and I've been hunting for all the things in it, either in my weardrobe (recycling...) or in stores. Thank you so much for making our lives easier....

Thanks for kicking off the season with it! I've already picked up a couple of fabulous boots that I'm looking forward to wearing with my dresses and skirts, and my booties are just dying to come out and play soon too. I'm really fond of those fold-over short boots, too, and have been considering one more pair... I am rebuilding my coat collection this winter, and NAS was a good start with a gorgeous long leather and a purple car coat. I've also picked up an on-trend military style red peacoat from ON. A moto jacket would be nice but I'm not going to kill myself looking for it this year. I will need a new puffer, for sure! I might try one plaid shirt for casual weekends, just because. I've been eying boyfriend jackets for a while, but haven't taken the plunge. It's hard to justify when they're not quite appropriate with the rest of my work outfits. I have a couple of waistcoats, but I feel odd wearing them. Leggings, too. Textured hose is another 'iffy' for me; I LOVE textured tights but because I do work in such a conservative environment, the sheer nature of hose might be too much. I am going to look more at cascading cardigans next. I've amassed a great collection of long boyfriend cardigans now, and I'm ready for another alternative! I love lists like this.

And most important, I already own lots of the described items, some of bought in spring clearance sales and them never worn yet. E.g. a wool coat and a plaid shirt. But one thing is missing that is central for my wardrobe this fall: A sleeveless, purpleblue down jacked! Great post and this is definitely also my fall/winter-list!

I'm going to New York with my husband in two weeks, so I'll try not to shop before that unless I stumble over something absolutely irresistable. :) Of the trends you mention, I think the following could be incorporated in my warderobe: Boots!!!! I can't live without them! I'm still missing a classic black pair that's office appropriate. Cascading cardigans: I love the idea that these can be worn in so many ways; loose, wrapped etc. I'll definetly try to find the perfect one! Trench coat and wool coat: Both are essentials in the Nordics. I might need to get a new wool coat for this winter and I'll probably go for a simple cut in a statement colour. Winter dress: A wrap or a shirt dress for the office would be a good addition to my closet. Scarves: An absolute essential! I'm thinking of getting one of those "snoods" this winter. They seem both chic and practical at the same time. It would solve my annual hat problem. :) These I'm more hesistant about: Boyfriend jacket: Not for me. I absolutely want a bit of waist definition. Waistcoat: Not sure. I love the look on others but have not managed to make it work for me yet. Leggings: Yet another look that I like on others but can't get to work for me allthough my legs are fit for showing off. Maybe I'm getting too old... Textured hose: This one is tricky to pull off! I think I'll stick to black and nude and use colour on other parts of my body. I’m planning to have my semi annual closet clean out this weekend, so after that I’ll see what I will be needing.
