I understand the need for good gear items.&nbsp;I don't know if you live in a very cold climate (I do), but I like to get a better quality, thinner puffer to wear under another jacket.</p> <p>Cheryle - I saw some of those mixed media leggings at BR, I think. They're cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542554 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 11:18:09 +0000 Summer 1542554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Rambling Ann, my top priority is for practical things, especially waterproof boots, so the fun stuff will have to wait a while, unfortunately.<br />&nbsp; I don't <i>need</i> anything in particular, so I will just see what comes along as the season unfolds. &nbsp;I'm quite excited at the prospect of choosing something that just calls to me, but I'll have to be patient.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542551 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 11:09:20 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1542551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been pinning for fall (not pining) and have been seeing a lot of plaid in burgundy/navy combinations that I am loving. &nbsp;From pants to shirts to big scarves. &nbsp;It makes me wonder if plaid is still going strong for this fall but in a larger version than last year.</p> <p>I am also thinking about getting a pair of black legging/jegging with faux leather accents. &nbsp;Deborah has posted fab outfits with this type of pant as the base piece and Shannon posted a pair that was quite appealing. &nbsp;I am thinking something in a combination of ponte knit and leather/faux leather to add interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542527 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 09:28:01 +0000 Maneera 1542527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On a different note: I see that many of you are looking for burgundy jeans! I bought one last winter but wore them only with black on top. Wasn't very versatile. What else do you guys think will look good with burgundy? I'm afraid my winter wardrobe is dominated by neutrals too....a lot of black, navy, grey and some pinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542525 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 09:24:09 +0000 Maneera 1542525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those pants, Ummlila. Calf length boots would look really good with those. I'm surprised that calf length boots (that just come up the calves) are hard to find for you. Here in India, that's the most COMMON boots design, and taller boots that end a little below the knee are harder to find! </p> <p>Here is my Fall/Winter list:</p> <p>1. Burgundy handbag</p> <p>2. A red or bright blue thigh length coat </p> <p>3. Black ankle length booties with 1.5-2" heel for bootcut jeans. I don't want wedge heels and I want walkable boots with almond toes that just peek out of longer hems. </p> <p>4. Olive corduroy pants. I like to wear only corduroys, denim or ponte pants in winters....and corduroy only on cold cold days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542478 Thu, 20 Aug 2015 04:04:02 +0000 JAileen 1542478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want a quilted jacket for cool days. Something to throw on and go. I have bought several, including J Crew's downtown field puffer. One size looked good but felt bad, the next size felt better but looked bad. I just need more ease across the back so I can stretch out with my arms comfortably. I've also bought and returned one from Lands End, and a quilted Barbour utility jacket. I loved the Barbour which fit very well. I just didn't like the greasy feel. So far, the Patagonia Ultralight down jacket is winning. Not much style, but very comfortable. If anyone knows of another jacket I should look at, I'm open to suggestion.</p> <p>1) J Crew<br /> 2) Lands End<br /> 3) Barbour<br /> 4) Patagonia </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542317 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:31:17 +0000 catseye 1542317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been wanting gray skinny jeans for the last year and camel dress pants for even longer. I do think they are more available this year.

I am not a rider, but I just love the look, whether it's in style or not.</li> <li>A heavy, hand-knit-in-the-Aran-Islands sweater/jumper in a color. We are visiting there in October, and I am scouting shops that will have the real deal. Ideally, it will be long and have pockets.</li> </ul> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542211 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 14:47:48 +0000 Janet 1542211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am unpacking after my trip and glanced at my sweater shelf in my closet -- only to be surprised at how completely dominated it seems to be with grey and black. So, no more grey or black sweaters for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542190 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 13:45:56 +0000 Susie 1542190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did some playing in my closet last evening and grouped all my non-summer things into transitional, fall, and winter collections. Seeing them all together made me realize that I don't have many lighter color pieces for fall/winter though I did just get ivory ponte trousers (WHBM) so those will help. </p> <p>I like Diane's idea of a burgundy bag...maybe that would be more useful than burgundy jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542152 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:24:11 +0000 Janet 1542152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun to see what you all are considering. Denise, I saw those Acne booties in Amsterdam (although in black) and resisted even trying them on because I have enough black/dark neutral booties!</p> <p>The only things I'm keeping an eye out for are a new pair of burgundy jeans to replace my old, too-tight ones that I passed along, and some sort of top or sweater in forest green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542148 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:14:13 +0000 Anonymous 1542148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wish list is rather specific:<br /> A silk or silky plaid shirt that canbe worn with burgundy jeans but not matchy.<br /> A black sheer silk shirt. (replacement)<br /> High waisted faded but not distressed jeans or maybe in black<br /> A light grey sheath dress with sleeves that is at least 40 inches long..<br /> Rich cognac or burgundy flat booties with almond toes.<br /> There are pieces that may need replacing but I don't know yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542144 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:05:16 +0000 Anonymous 1542144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm getting lots of inspiration here...maybe too much ;). Thanks for starting this great thread, UmmLila. I'm looking for casual shoes to diversify my collection of boots, booties, and more booties. LisaP inspired me with her mention of quilted Bball style shoes yesterday. Platform sneaks sound like a good option in our weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542143 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 12:04:54 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1542143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that Acne boot style, too, Denise. I bought those aquatalias and returned them, in order to hang on for something a little more standout looking. The color is great, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542139 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 11:52:23 +0000 kerry 1542139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan, which Keens do you have your eye on?</p> <p>I don't have much on my list as I'm on a weight loss journey. Having said that, I have BR black skinnies and a Gap jacket on their way to me. It's taken me years to accept that I need a wardrobe of coats/jackets for my climate. The missing piece is a warmer jacket for transitional weather.</p> <p>I wouldn't mind a black or ink poncho and a pair of knee high cognac boots. I'm always on the lookout for casual tops - something more than a tee but not as fussy as a blouse. </p> <p>I'm intrigued by burgundy bottoms. This is not a colour I wear well but am open to adding because my bottom choice in winter is very limited - skinnies/leggings that tuck into boots all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542124 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 10:37:30 +0000 Staysfit 1542124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for a pair of flat shoes that can handle some weather but aren't booties, ballet flats, or sneakers, and are not black! I just rejected a pair of Oxblood colored monk strap oxfords by Aquatalia because they looked more black than Oxblood. I wanted something a little lighter in color. </p> <p>Top of my list is always a blazer. That's a HEWI item though. Elusive, and near impossible to find. I keep trying though. I have a grey corduroy JCrew blazer on pre-order. I'm hopeful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542105 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 09:46:09 +0000 Style Fan 1542105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the olive pants you posted.&nbsp; I am looking for a pair.&nbsp; I am looking for:</p> <p>A poncho or cape</p> <p>Hiking type boots -- I like the Timberland ones but Keens has some cute ones</p> <p>Jeans -- Faded but not distressed and higher waist.</p> <p>Denim shirt to replace mine that is almost worn out.</p> <p>Down vest in olive green or mustard yellow.&nbsp; Some colour to wear with my sweaters that are warm colours.&nbsp; Vest should be shorter and not too puffy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for/page/2#post-1542086 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 08:22:57 +0000 Anonymous 1542086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll pop back later to read the other replies, but I love the sound of your list UmLila. </p> <p>My list is:</p> <p>A burgundy bag</p> <p>Burgundy slim pants</p> <p>olive slim pants</p> <p>A couple of mid-weight sweaters for transitional Autumn days.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for#post-1542061 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 05:47:49 +0000 Barbara Diane 1542061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't pulled out my heavier fall/winter clothes yet, as it just cooled down from the 101 degree weather we &nbsp;have been having-much hotter than normal.

Replacements for my oxfords (already ordered the Borns, and will prob get the Taos ones in cognac as well), the tomato linen jacket, and replacement for my grey jeggings that died at the end of last winter. </p> <p>Still looking for the perfect black Audrey cigarette pants. (This is a serious HEWI for me, primarily because I have very specific ideas about what fabric I want - smooth cotton, not much spandex, no multi-way stretch - that is at odds with most of what is available these days. )</p> <p>Also I think my beloved Victorian combat boots are going to need replacement soon. They are the perfect combination of tough but not clunky, with a slim cut and almond toe. I'm hoping that mid calf boots being more trendy this season will give me more options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for#post-1541990 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 01:00:37 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1541990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucy, it is brutal but most of us have attached garages and park inside or have car starters to pre-heat the car when we are heading out. &nbsp;Sadly, it isn't unusual for the weather to include something like "exposed flesh may freeze in a minute". &nbsp;What can I say? &nbsp;I was born here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for#post-1541978 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 00:48:45 +0000 Windchime 1541978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black and navy or ink work pants in wool or other warm material.</p> <p>Boots to wear over jeans--not even sure what the term for them is--not snow boots--my mom used to call them "fashion boots."</p> <p>One or two items in burgundy--perhaps a skirt or pants.</p> <p>Good leather cognac shoulder bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/antennae-up-for-fall---what-are-you-looking-for#post-1541938 Wed, 19 Aug 2015 00:01:25 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1541938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need a replacement pair of black booties, and would love to find a pair of booties in a gray or taupe (I returned the NAS Franco Sarto ones; I decided I wanted a higher shaft).
