Fall? I've just started to enjoy summer....not ready to think about fall. But on my list....a new wallet. This is a carryover from spring, since I use the same wallet for years and years, practencing PPP. A block heel pump or booties-- or both. Cognac shoes....a new navy belt.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours/page/2#post-1691722 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 18:32:51 +0000 Barbara Diane 1691722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Amy</b>&nbsp;thanks for the links. <br />I am now obsessed with the color Diver.&nbsp;I think it has enough interest for me, but is a bit toned down from what I normally wear, and should look great with my gray hair. I am still learning to adjust what I wear for my gray.&nbsp;And several of the styles on the other post, the more covered up ones, lol, will be fun to try.</p> <p>I want a bright winter coat, as mine died a few years ago and I have been wearing my trench. But occasionally that looks odd, and occasionally it hasn't been warm enough. This past year I realized how hard it is to see pedestrians at night when they are wearing all black, which is why I want to go lighter and/or brighter. Although now my heart wants a coat in Diver. </p> <p>I want long cozy textured sweaters that don't itch me. They have to have some cabling that distracts from my lumps and bumps. Long enough to cover my bum. That's a new word for me, but I like it. Last winter I found a short one. </p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours/page/2#post-1691699 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 18:13:30 +0000 rabbit 1691699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JazzyDance &nbsp;my inexpensive leggings that are fuzzy inside usually begin to pill on the outside after a year or two. &nbsp; Non fuzzy ones can last longer, then fading of dark colors is what usually retires them to lounge wear. &nbsp; If they aren't fading or pilling, I'd keep on wearing them.</p> <p>Like many others I'm looking for a replacement black knit turtleneck (short sleeved). &nbsp;Otherwise at this point I'm just keeping an eye out for hewis that have been on the list for awhile -- silver shoes and black and white sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours/page/2#post-1691683 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 17:31:28 +0000 rachylou 1691683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, viva!

I would also like a few pullovers in luxe fabrics.

I eyed the Toms in picture one before I realized my feet simply won't tolerate heels anymore. </p> <p>I live in a warm climate, and although I love fall clothing the best, I have to be practical. I am looking for a pair of comfortable black booties with minimal heel. The kind I can wear to walk for miles. I didn't find anything that passed my comfort test last year at all, so I will renew my search this year. I would like a pair of looser jeans. Not super boyfriend, maybe straight leg. I am looking for something other than skinny. But due to the lack of heels, I don't love boot cut on me without a heel. Boy -I never realized how much the lack of heels in my wardrobe is affecting what I pick out going forward. And perhaps a lightweight topper or sweater if it calls to me. But that's not a priority. Also a replacement black skirt for tights and boots. My old one is several years old and close to the end of its usefulness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691411 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 02:52:28 +0000 Jane 1691411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the desert boots, and I have seen a few different styles around and about. Clarks have a pair that aren't completely flat, with a crepe heel, which I am thinking about. I like the sound of the grey colour. I like the jacket, particularly the red side - I am not sure about the other side!</p> <p>I was in Massimo Dutti yesterday, and they have some beautiful leather jackets in light brown, which I am thinking about.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691405 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 02:37:54 +0000 AviaMariah 1691405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like some of you I'm going to try to be very specific which what I'm looking for and go for quality over quantity. On my list so far is a leather moto jacket; black or ink I think.<br /> Tall black boots with a chunky 2 1/2" heel. This is a huge HeWI because they also have to fit my short, muscular calves.<br /> A gray sweater to replace one the months found - soft and probably v neck.<br /> Another statement sweater or two.<br /> Good quality black cardigan.<br /> Black loafers - modern looking. Pointed toe? Patent?<br /> A bag - possibly red. So Suz, we can look together.<br /> There's a lot of black on this list! Maybe I need to add some pieces with a lot of color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691378 Sat, 09 Jul 2016 00:46:52 +0000 Staysfit 1691378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My immediate reaction is the following: </p> <p>Fall/Winter shopping list:<br />1. Warmest type long down coat for winter (replacing well worn old coat)<br />2. Solid neutral blazer (not tweed) in wool, or wool blend&nbsp;<br />3. Long sleeve dresses (2-3)<br />3. &nbsp;socks/bras</p> <p>However, I still need to go back and look through my clothes and think about my style, what direction I want to go with it in terms of updating.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691348 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 23:56:53 +0000 Marilyn 1691348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't even begun to think about fall yet.</p> <p>I&nbsp; had no idea those desert boots were still a current thing.&nbsp; I have a pair that look much like pic #1.&nbsp; I haven't worn them in a few years.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691345 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 23:52:45 +0000 Jazzy Dance 1691345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I should replace my leggings from last year-- they're the Vera Wang for Kohl's brand and though they are quite decent I'm not sure I can, or should, get two years of heavy wear out of them. How often do you all replace your leggings?</p> <p>The main thing for fall and winter is a black cashmere turtleneck that I can wear under a ruby-red sleeveless dress I have. I would need one that is pretty thin. Open to suggestions on that one!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691324 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 23:09:21 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1691324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the long jacket ... I'm not sure if it would work for me or not but it would be fun to try something like it.</p> <p>Fall won't reach my part of the world until mid-October, so I can't imagine shopping for it just yet. &nbsp; Last year I bought a ton of great jeans and boots, and some great lightweight jackets/toppers, so to be honest I don't "need" a lot. &nbsp;But I'd love to find some non-jeans pants that made me feel fab (so few do ...), and to master a button-down shirt pattern so I can sew some from special fabrics. &nbsp; And it would be nice to get a few things that expand my horizons wardrobe-wise, but I'll have to watch and wait to see what those might be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691306 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 22:16:44 +0000 Style Fan 1691306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me desert boots are a classic.&nbsp; I have a pair and I love them.&nbsp; This fall I am looking for booties and sweaters.&nbsp; I might order the BR wrap cardigan that is one of Angie`s finds.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am also tempted by the dress but when would I wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691261 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 20:28:01 +0000 Anonymous 1691261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the desert booties.

I'm still on the hunt for a black leather jacket. I need a replacement black/silver buckle belt. I would like to add a cognac belt and replace a cognac handbag that I'm not loving anymore. I also desperately need a new wallet (some color other than black so I can find it in my handbag).</p> <p>If they happen to come along...EF has 3 colors at the moment that I love: rhubarb, jewel and watermelon. I could be very tempted to buy something in any of those colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-thoughts--whats-yours#post-1691202 Fri, 08 Jul 2016 18:53:32 +0000 Amy 1691202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My list is for basics.

I also need some new undies, and I'd like a couple of statement knits of some kind.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll want a new pair of higher shaft booties and replacements for my Aquatalias, and worn out dark turtlenecks.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also need a wonderful bag and am considering red.&nbsp; </p>
