I did order a couple of much-needed dresses for some upcoming events (celebration of my in-laws' 50th wedding anniversity in Nov., a cruise in celebration of my 25th wedding anniversary in Dec., and my DD's graduation from college next year). I'm having to buy much-needed warm clothing for 2 of my DDs, so that's mostly what I'm spending on this month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-737003 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:25:28 +0000 biscuitsmom 737003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JJ, Love your term! Would Ponte Knit slacks work for your dressy pants? There are some awesome ones out there....a far as my list goes-- everything!!! But realistically, I do need a few lightweight sweaters (I got rid of all my heavyweights a few yrs ago, before I joined YLF) cuz Im SOOOO tired of wearing cardi's w/everything cuz I get cold easy (and need to hide my jelly belly) I just got a few pair of pants that actually 'fit' so thats the area Im really needy in....as far as 'wants' I'd LOVE some booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736964 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 18:49:09 +0000 JulieJohn 736964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ariadne - smart girl! I'm glad you are in a good place.</p> <p>Mellllls - moto madness is all the rage, I know you will find just the right one.</p> <p>Rae - Shoptoberfest! Yeah, baby! I love it. I feel your 8-hour pumps are out there, the stars are aligned.</p> <p>Kathleen - sounds like you have given this a lot of thought, good for you. Yellows can be vexing indeed, keep us posted.</p> <p>Lyn - Mustard is yummy and I'm not being facetious. Hope you find something great!</p> <p>Nadya - glad you liked Shoptober, please use it with my compliments!</p> <p>Sylvie - "not black or grey" - I hear you. I have been thinking of green for a new winter coat, maybe a bright bottle green or lime, if I can find it. Good luck on your search! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736559 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 04:24:24 +0000 Sylvie 736559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Needs:</p> <p>Interesting knit tees and tops<br /> A blazer/riding jacket that is not black or grey<br /> Cropped 100% silk v-neck cardigans in as many bright or dark colors as possible.<br /> Sheer black hose</p> <p>Wants:</p> <p>Red leggings or jeans<br /> Red or yellow shoes<br /> Red crossbody handbag<br /> Yellow shoulder bag </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736554 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 03:58:07 +0000 Nadya 736554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wish list is a fall dress that actually reaches my knees, and a colorful hooded jacket. But the important thing is I adore the word Shoptober and am going to use it at every opportunity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736550 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 03:43:19 +0000 lyn* 736550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with Mustard ... I could play along and see if I can find something mustardy to swap out one of my rather (dying) dresses... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736544 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 03:38:16 +0000 Kathleen M 736544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"needs"- that's relative, i suppose, but things that would make my wardrobe work better:<br /> black and grey opaque tights<br /> black flats or booties<br /> v-neck sweaters in a couple different colors- all the sweaters i buy either shrink or stretch. nothing stays the right size. and i need longer sweaters because my chest is big and makes everything shorter.</p> <p>wants:<br /> sweater-blazer- i love the idea but haven't found just the right one yet. I liked Banana Republic's but I didn't pull the trigger because it was full price and now the navy blue is gone.<br /> something yellow- i'm very drawn to yellow but i look terrible in it. i need to find "my" shade or buy bottoms or an accessory or something. i cannot figure out my coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736533 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 03:01:08 +0000 rae 736533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omigosh, JJ, I think you may have just renamed our annual gathering: Shoptoberfest!! </p> <p>We are going to shop the heck out of your lists; I can just feel it. My lists are pretty darn small and narrow: </p> <p>Needs<br /> Low-heeled, 8-hour walking pumps in a neutral color.<br /> Bright orange blazer to replace my pilling orange blazer.</p> <p>Wants<br /> Black, lightweight, casual jacket in breathable fibers with a breathable lining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736530 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 02:46:30 +0000 Mellllls 736530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i need a denim jacket, preferably a denim moto jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736528 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 02:44:49 +0000 Ariadne 736528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm like Mo--I decided to finally get a clue and shop for my dominant season while the pickings are good, and enjoyed a little Shoptember. My wardrobe is so happy now. I may add one or two pairs of shoes but other than that it's OctNOber (LOL! Love it) for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736527 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 02:44:17 +0000 JulieJohn 736527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - I know!!! I am going to have to give myself a hard limit ... or let's say a hard-ish guideline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736520 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 02:33:25 +0000 catgirl 736520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Am making my own list to keep me in control in L.A. but just think how much fun it will be to shop for your list with all of us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736461 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:50:16 +0000 JulieJohn 736461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro - good girl!</p> <p>Pil - I hope you find your dream boots, and I hope we both find the pants!</p> <p>Mo - LOL! You are so funny! I love that jacket, yummy! Your peplum success is good to hear.</p> <p>Thistle - good luck with all your desires, and I hope we all find the perfect dress pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736448 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:33:30 +0000 Mo 736448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie John, I forgot to add that I got a peplum top in Shoptember, and it is indeed great for us 8 hourglass figures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736445 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:29:15 +0000 Thistle 736445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Needs: a black pencil skirt<br /> Black dress pants, similar to yours<br /> Black blazer<br /> Fleece lined black tights<br /> Black booties or oxfords<br /> Black belt</p> <p>Wants: burgundy shoes<br /> Burgundy or wine sweater<br /> Fall/winter dresses<br /> Navy dress pants<br /> Dark boot cut jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736437 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:18:37 +0000 Mo 736437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm counting the days until my credit card billing cycle starts again and I can finally try the Nicole Richie Impulse satin blazer. Just 4 more weeks, and counting - argh.<br /> I had the opposite - Shoptember, with an OctNOber to follow lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736435 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:17:27 +0000 pil 736435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Needs - I think we are looking for the same pants : )</p> <p>Wants - knee high boots, although I don't know if I need them or would wear them all that much. Would also love something similar to Rute's taupe ankle boot in her boot thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736429 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:14:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 736429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really "need" anything....it's spring here &amp; I have lots of lovely summer clothes. Winter will be another story, I need to replace a lot of expensive essentials - so I'm saving my money for then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-dub-this-month-shoptober#post-736419 Tue, 02 Oct 2012 00:05:54 +0000 JulieJohn 736419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoptober is the month that comes after SYC-tember.</p> <p>I am on a low budget, but there are a few staples that I really need. And a bunch of things I want / crave / yearn for. Good thing I have YLF to help me make wise purchases, ones I will want to keep for a long time to come.</p> <p>Needs:<br /> Dress pants - something in a dark color with some nice stretch<br /> New handbag - I have worn my everyday taupe knitted sack to something only suited to a train hobo circa 1930<br /> New coat - a dressy, eclectic little number, something that is kinda warm, kinda fitted, but with room for a sweater underneath (yikes, that sounds like too many conditions)</p> <p>Wants:<br /> Something in cobalt or emerald - maybe a cloth moto?<br /> A wild patterned wrap sweater coat - I like the Southwestern designs a lot!<br /> Something with a peplum - I hear they are great on "8" hourglass shapes! I'd like to rock 'em like our girl Kari.</p> <p>Anybody else care to share their needs and wants for this fabulous new month? A bit of harmless mental window shopping? I'd love to know what's on your list. </p>
