I'm also with you on cream rather than optic white...when cold weather hits, I really dislike optic white.</p> <p>I've been eyeing those same tights and haven't pulled the trigger due to the price. But I'll have to decide soon, because I think tights like that tend to sell out fast.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2143723 Fri, 11 Sep 2020 22:28:35 +0000 Jenn 2143723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay!

I’ll post pics at some point. It’s a little too hot to wear the cardigan for more than a minute, but supposed to cool down tomorrow. I have some brown cotton-blend tights OTW to try as well.</p> <p>I’d love to find some more long sleeve crewneck layering tees. I’m always disappointed by how limited the color selections are for long sleeve tees vs short sleeve, so it might take some hunting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141942 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 16:53:04 +0000 Angie 2141942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait till Winter stock! I have a lined mustard VELVET skirt that I wear with hose. And I LOVE it:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141903 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 13:23:20 +0000 LaPed 2141903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For all the others looking for cottony tights: the ones in the image are from Wolford, the "Cotton Velvet" model. The price gives me pause, but they do look good and I know people rave about Wolford's quality. I think other European brands, like Falke, probably have some options as well. Limited availability in the US.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm going to try the Everlane skirt and replenish layering tees at the same time. I have shorts in the same fabric (different colour) that I really like, so I'm hopeful. It will come down to length -- the last couple Everlane skirts I tried were shorter on me than on the model, which is baffling as I'm only 5'4". :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie -- I love the idea of a bias skirt but I'm only seeing them in slippery/shiny fabrics right now. Long ago, I had a bias skirt in pink linen (with a ruffle hem!) that I wore into the ground. It was such a fun skirt...</p> <p>I am still pondering cardigans. I'd like to try the Everlane one, but I don't like to buy Final Sale, no matter how good the price. I suspect that blend will need a lot of pill-management, and I'll be limited to wearing it with long sleeves underneath (itch factor). But it does seem to be the perfect shape and colour. Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141784 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 19:23:17 +0000 Anonymous 2141784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those colors- of course! Where are the tights from? That looks like it would be a useful color for me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141774 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 17:59:16 +0000 Suz 2141774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like Angie's suggestion of bias cut skirts. They are elegant without being overwhelming.&nbsp;</p> <p>The autumnal colours are beautiful and will work with blues and greys really well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141753 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 16:19:18 +0000 unfrumped 2141753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good inspiration! Lovely color palette,<br />It's been pretty warm here for try-ons of warm clothing, but I've been pulling out some of my lighter F-W items and fall colors to see what's what.<br />One thing I have to guard against is going too warm in color palette, for my coloring, which is mostly cool, slightly neutral. I love all of the true "autumn" colors, they shout Fall and luxurious warmth, and NOT black, but can get me into trouble.&nbsp;<br />I have in past used scarf colors and print colors to bridge the gap on coloring for fall jacktes/outerwear, but that's kind of phoo for&nbsp; &nbsp;pandemic, with masking, except for home, where I wear somewhat different things to keep warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141738 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 14:18:01 +0000 Angie 2141738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that you're listening to your feelings, <b>La Ped</b>! Items aren't dated, but we can<i> absolutely</i> get tired of wearing them - which means bring on the change.&nbsp;</p> <p>The short V-neck cardi WITH a welt will work better with the flared skirts you're craving, and the high waisted pants and wide crops you have already.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, have you thought about bias-cut skirts? Tapered, but VERY roomy, and can work with tights.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141720 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 13:11:20 +0000 Carla 2141720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! &nbsp;Those warm autumn colours, and ecru would work very well with worn blue blue jeans, and any existing black in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141715 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 12:48:03 +0000 RobinF 2141715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these colors and pairing them with a softer white shade. The V-neck sweaters are so cute in the cropped length. I tend to wear longer ones so cropped feels a little newer.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141712 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 12:14:21 +0000 Star (Lise) 2141712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love rust colors too currently.&nbsp; My cardis need to be a bit longer that most of those pictured above as I live by the sea and there is always a wind factor to deal with in cooler months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141664 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 03:00:08 +0000 notsaf 2141664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just added a cardigan last week: northern New England weather is calling for it!

I'm feeling those lighter earth tones and neutrals this fall/winter too. I wonder if that's a marketing trend thing with what's being shown, or something to do with a societal need to feel more light and hopeful after a dark spring/summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141645 Mon, 31 Aug 2020 00:11:56 +0000 Sal 2141645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your ideas La Pedestrienne.&nbsp; I am loving the hot/cold combos this winter - grey with rust, navy with mustard, or even wine with black and cream.&nbsp; I have been less drawn to black but it does form a key place in my gear and work wardrobes (and formal but that is parked to the side right now).</p> <p>I am wanting to replace a worn out shorter cardigan for spring and I like your finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141644 Sun, 30 Aug 2020 23:55:04 +0000 nemosmom 2141644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love the direction you are going, La Ped! The perfect brown cardi is a HEWI for me. Most are too cropped, too itchy, odd buttons, etc. I am excited to see what you get! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141640 Sun, 30 Aug 2020 23:37:55 +0000 nuancedream 2141640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the knitwear in your finds. Those warm, rich brown, burnt orange, and rust tones are totally in my wheelhouse. Love those colors combined with my favorite warm neutral, ecru&nbsp; I recently scored a gorgeous deep brick red Michael Stars twist front sweater from 2019 FW, which I can't wait to wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141632 Sun, 30 Aug 2020 22:47:09 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2141632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No enthusiasm for cooler weather yet here -- I'm in the same climate zone as you though, and feeling the autumn closing in. I like the concept of that skirt a lot. I was doing camel and cream in the spring and feel like I could go back in that direction, add some light blue to the mix. I'm not feeling ready for the super-dark colors yet either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141630 Sun, 30 Aug 2020 22:35:24 +0000 SW prof 2141630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would love to know if you find some tights that fit your specifications, which are pretty much what I'm looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brainstorming-for-fw2020#post-2141618 Sun, 30 Aug 2020 21:10:08 +0000 slim cat 2141618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Midi length skirts became my new fav - same feeling on trying to come up with ways of wearing it into fall ( got grey tights and black leggings ).</p> <p>I like all your inspirational images - nice colors and shapes!

I am definitely shopping/browsing less (not at all, really) -- and that is a result of the pandemic. We've had a couple of chilly, windy, rainy days here, which has me thinking about fall clothes and what I might want to wear. I haven't seen much in catalogs or online that inspires me so far, but I have a handful of ideas. Everlane seems to be coming the closest to offering what I'm picturing in my head.</p> <p>1. <b>Full midi/knee-length skirts paired with tights and leggings</b>. Tube/straight skirts are feeling a bit tired to me right now; they are usually my go-to skirt silhouette for cooler weather, and I save fuller styles for warm weather and bare legs. I'm not super excited about jeans this year, and have a feeling I'll be wearing a lot of chinos and linen right up until it gets cold enough for corduroy and wool trousers.</p> <p>Finding skirts in fabrics that don't cling to tights can be a bit of a pain, and I know my cozy tights need to be updated. Most of them are starting to show pills and pulls. Looking specifically for cotton-rich blends; trying to avoid both wool and synthetic as much as possible due to eczema. I would especially like some browns and burgundies for hosiery; charcoal and navy would be good too.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. <b>Chunky rust/brown knitwea</b>r. I've had this on my wish list all year -- a cardigan, specifically. I haven't bitten the bullet because there are *too many* good options, and I want to make sure I pick the right one! I've included a few examples. I will probably go for a v-neck and a looser fit.</p> <p>3. <b>Soft, light neutrals</b>. The colour of the chino skirt in finds is really appealing to me, along with other off-white, bone, and very pale tan shades. I like the idea of these as accents and layering pieces with bolder colours like rust and mustard, and with darker neutrals like navy and chocolate. Optic/bright white feels a little off to me this year. I am also feeling unexcited by black for the most part and don't plan to add any this year, though I am still wearing and enjoying the black that I do have, especially washed/faded blacks. </p>
