Unlucky me lives in a climate where our dominant season is summer. Our winter is so mild compared to what some of you guys in the states get so I hang onto every piece of winter I can. It's already starting to get warm now (think 8c/46f at night and 23c/73f during the day) and it makes me so sad. But this year I intend to tackle Spring/Summer early by planning what I am going to sew myself, some nice floaty tops &amp; dresses are already on the plan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186879 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 22:54:37 +0000 chewyspaghetti 186879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the bag that I am thinking about:<br /> <a href="http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/women/handbags/convertible_handbags/kenya_convertible_top_zip_hobo-zb4321p.html?departmentCategoryId=30000&#038;N=0&#038;Va=186&#038;Ns=p_wsc2" rel="nofollow">http://www.fossil.com/en_US/sh.....;Ns=p_wsc2</a>|0||p_weight|0&amp;rec=14&amp;pn=c&amp;imagePath=ZB4321235<br /> in the camel color. In person, the beige suede has a little sparkle- so fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186862 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 22:34:23 +0000 chewyspaghetti 186862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie- they shipping costs at Macy's KILL ME! I try only to order if I can get free shipping, but there was a one day sale on that vest and I haven't seen anything else like it anywhere. Since I live in the boonies, I figure I am either paying shipping or gas to drive to a store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186734 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 20:05:37 +0000 NK 186734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, I'm absolutely DREAMING of autumn right now! I'm so over summer because of the ridiculously high temps here. (WHY do I live in Arizona again?!) I'm feeling so cooped up in my house and limited in what I can wear when I venture out.</p> <p>Those Aersooles booties you ordered are GORGEOUS! (Man, how do you get over Macy's high shipping costs? I know I need to just suck it up and pay it for the stuff I have in my cart currently.)</p> <p>I love the Anthro tunic too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186731 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 19:53:19 +0000 Ariadne 186731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How could I forget the #1 item I want to find? A perfect moto jacket is at the top of my list. I am thinking black leather or pleather, but am open to other colours and fabrications. This will be a huge challenge for me because of my relatively broad shoulders and small waist. I need something that is fitted at the waist and roomy in the shoulders and arms. I plan to try on every version I encounter! I also need a cropped denim jacket but that is really a spring/summer item.</p> <p>Oh, and ponte pants in black or charcoal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186636 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:46:13 +0000 Sarah 186636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you, Debbie. It's not fun trying on the warm items right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186634 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:43:20 +0000 Debbie 186634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking about in the way of shopping at NAS. It is so hot though that I'm not sure what I want. Trying on boots seems impossible. I bought two pair and will crank the air down and take pictures when they come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186616 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:24:59 +0000 Sarah 186616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I, like Maya and Angie, live for Fall/Autumn. I really have never cared for summer apparel at all. We haven't even hit our peak temps here yet, and I'm already thinking and planning (and shopping) for fall. NAS got me a good base, but I'll just want to fill in clothing around October.<br /> Khris, thanks for posting those ON trousers. I must try them! I loved the Trina Turk ones at NAS, but they were $100 more for what I'd consider a trendy item.<br /> I also picked up a lovely waistcoat at a resale shop here in Austin. I know Patience has it too. It's a DVF cropped dark green tweed in front, and a lovely, vibrant silk print in the back. I can't wait to wear it with a small black/white print blouse (tie neck a plus) and wide leg trouser jeans. I've been scouring the interwebs for days trying to find the ideal blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186614 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:18:16 +0000 annagybe 186614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did major damage at the NAS. I feel that summer hasn't really come to Seattle. In fact I have some new sandals by Miu Miu that I haven't even worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186600 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:37:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 186600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I went ahead and ordered those Aerosoles from Macy's, along with a military style vest. I don't really have much hope for either, but if I don't start trying things now I will never find what I want.<br /> I'm thinking about these pants:<br /> <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=7521&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=771966&#038;scid=771966002" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....=771966002</a><br /> and these jeans:<br /> <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=48597&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=768470" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=768470</a><br /> and I found this great tunic (will keep my eye on for a sale):<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=18838995&#038;navAction=jump&#038;search=true&#038;parentid=SEARCH_RESULTS&#038;tabStyle=Info" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....Style=Info</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186560 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:25:42 +0000 Lisa 186560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy I am starting to sweat reading this thread. I am still purging my closet for spring/summer. I haven't even touched fall yet and I already know after reading YLF much of that will have to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186483 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 13:44:19 +0000 Beth 186483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Angie, join in my mental conversations at your own risk! :D</p> <p>I adore spring and summer, but fall/winter is definitely my dominant season. Primarily because of my job, which gives me summers off. I have a much greater need for cool-weather clothes. My summer work wardrobe is fairly limited. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186419 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:09:55 +0000 Kristen 186419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am still enjoying summer too much!</p> <p>We go on a big vacation in August every year, and until then, it is only the build-up to summer.

Fall/spring is my dominant season (I live in the same climate as Angie).</p> <p>My list:</p> <p>- Faux plain coat. I'd love one that combines black, grey, ivory and brown in a tweed type pattern.<br /> - Trench coat with hood<br /> - Flat ankle boots for under bootcut jeans<br /> - Pewter, gunmetal, grey, ink or cobalt blue, or bitter chocolate bag<br /> - Flat OTK boots--would love to get them in grey or taupe, but black or brown would also work<br /> - Multicolored pashmina (inspired by Angie's red and turquoise one)<br /> - Another pair or two of skinnies/jeggings<br /> - Tunic-length sweaters<br /> - Dresses!<br /> - Chunky silver necklace (maybe like Tanya's) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186302 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:16:34 +0000 Angie 186302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a question! Autumn is my favourite season. I blossom in Autumn - not in Spring. I usually start thinking about my Autumn wardrobe updates at NAS time.

Fall is hands down my favorite season, followed by spring. Like Maya, I don't like summer. I was thinking today about posting a question asking you ladies what you're looking to buy for your fall wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186266 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:32:59 +0000 Kate 186266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though the highs have been in the 100s here for the past month, and will be for the next month or so, I am so thinking about fall! Granted, fall in Arizona isn't really cold, and the highs in the winter stay in the 60s, so I am able to use a lot of my wardrobe year round. </p> <p>My focus now is on buying school/work appropriate clothes that can work year-round depending on how they are paired. For example, cardigans are useful all year because the AC is so absurd indoors here in the summer. Skirts and sandals keep me cool in the summer, and can be paired with boots and then boots and tights/leggings to take me through the fall/winter/spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186205 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:40:33 +0000 Mac 186205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*sigh* I DREAM of fall. That's my "dominant season;" if I could, I'd wear woolly tights, knee-high boots, tweed jackets and cashmere sweaters 9 months/ year (I guess I'd be willing to give each of the other seasons one month, each) : )</p> <p>But, I can't bear to shop for anything right now - Too Dang Muggy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186198 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:31:34 +0000 Frances 186198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't bear the thought of fall and am in complete denial. We're having our typical SF weather today--fogged in and chilly. Though I sympathize with those of you who are sweltering in 100 degree heat and humidity, I am a summer girl through and through and miss real summertime weather. Fortunately, we typically have a stretch of summer-like weather here in the fall so I'll be able to enjoy my summer clothes for a little while before our wretched rainy season returns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186193 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:25:38 +0000 Tanya 186193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG BethW, that is hilarious! I am actually dying to see those shoes now!</p> <p>Since I have discovered that we live pretty close to each other, I know exactly what you mean about the temperatures. Nevertheless, I am already thinking about fall ( and, what a coincidence, just did a 2nd round of closet clean up myself this weekend).</p> <p>My fall wish list (tough I am sure it will grow):</p> <p>- 2 pairs of oxfords<br /> - OTK boots<br /> - Frye Veronica boots in Sapphire <a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-veronica-slouch-sapphire-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-ver.....re-leather</a><br /> - grey wedges<br /> - gunmetal or pewter bag<br /> - jeggings<br /> - skinny cream cords<br /> - skinny grey velveteen pants<br /> - cream or black knee length puffer<br /> - cashmere turtleneck in a pretty color<br /> - cashmere BF cardi in a color</p> <p>Btw, I saw one of those runway previews in a magazine, and the trends for the fall were camel, grey, minimalistic black tailoring ( like in the 90's), ditsy florals, baroque opulence, and shearling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186185 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:16:26 +0000 crazyone 186185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i haven't been thinking about fall too much, except I really want to try out some tweed shorts... brown tweed shorts with opaque burgundy hose and my cognac boots... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186183 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:15:26 +0000 Anonymous 186183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, you are wise to clean closets and make lists. NAS has me thinking a little about fall. I'd like to update my look with booties, but can't seem to be able to get it right. I'm thinking it's because they have heels, high vamp and look dark and heavy. If you find your low-heeled nude peeptoe booties, I'm interested!<br /> Other than trying booties, I'd like at least one fall/winter day dress. The dresses at NAS that I saw disappointed, but maybe there will be more. Everything seems to be black or plum.<br /> LOL@Beth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186175 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:08:53 +0000 Beth 186175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MPJ, the conversation went like this:</p> <p>Me: Hm. I never wear those cream heels. Let's brush the dust off of them.<br /> My Voice of Reason: That's because you thought they referenced the 80s when in fact they're 100% 80s.<br /> Me: But I still like them. I'll take a pic and get YLF's opinion.<br /> VOR: Do you really want to admit to YLF that you bought these?<br /> Me: I'll just take one picture.<br /> VOR. *sigh* Fine.<br /> Me: See? The pics don't look that bad.<br /> VOR: "Not that bad" is hardly an endorsement. Besides, your feet have grown since you bought these and you can barely wedge your left foot into that shoe.</p> <p>Needless to say, the shoes went into the thrift shop pile. :O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186171 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:04:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 186171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, the another thing that I realized while thinking about this is that our fall temps are still pretty warm most of the time. Many years it's too warm on Thanksgiving for me to wear long sleeves. So, I am keeping that in mind and planning on items that will be useful for fall/spring, and are lighter weight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186169 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 02:01:34 +0000 Maya 186169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm, starting? I think about fall year round. I don't like summer I spend all summer dreaming about boots and jackets, cozy scarves and cute hats. Ahhh, I can almost taste the hot chocolate...</p> <p>This summer has been the best one yet, admittedly. Since discovering that sandals are 100000% more comfortable for me than flats, and dresses are far better than jeans, I can't believe how much better I feel (greasy face and frizzy hair notwithstanding). Still not ideal though. I miss layering and I always miss boots.</p> <p>I have to make a plan, being on a budget. What I really need to do is figure out my dress/blouse balance for fall. I have been loving the switch to dresses, so much so that I don't know if I could go back to separates every day. But dresses are a lot more practical in summer. I like wearing dresses in winter, but probably not every day. Too cold. I had to get rid of a lot of my tops for various reasons, and now I have very few left. I'll need to decide whether I focus more on tops to wear with jeans, or dresses. </p> <p>The other part I have to consider, as always, is footwear. Sigh. It's going to be expensive... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186166 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:59:03 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 186166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL @ BethW</p> <p>I AM thinking about fall, only because there are some great sales to be had now, during the aforementioned wicked heat we're having. I just picked up a pair of gorgeous Frye boots on a steep sale from Zappos. I'm eyeing a cognac jacket in NAS...</p> <p>I think I will take your cue, Chewy, and start making lists/capsule needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-thinking-about-fall-yet#post-186163 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 01:56:25 +0000 Beth 186163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't yet. We're going into our third week of 100°-ish temps...no thoughts of fall!</p> <p>I did just start round 2 of closet cleaning, though. I had to have some very stern conversations with myself. :O </p>
