I'm not sure about where you live but cute sunnies aren't in stores for long here. The next might be the cognac boots, best selection early. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-392044 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:08:32 +0000 bella 392044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your suggestions. I thought of one more item: premium denim!<br /> I think I am fine on the booties front (although it depends on how much I wear the current ones this season). I've never owned anything cashmere, so it sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't know where to start though, so I will let this thought simmer for a bit. </p> <p>So currently my list is something like: </p> <p>Wool coat - one is on its way to me from NAS<br /> Premium denim<br /> Cognac boots<br /> Handbag<br /> Sunglasses<br /> Watch<br /> Wallet<br /> Umbrella</p> <p>How should I prioritize? I jumped the gun on the coat about a week ago and purchased one from NAS. I don't know if it will work, though. Should I start with the sunglasses? I can start wearing them already, whereas I won't be able to get use out of boots until October. I am notoriously hard to fit in jeans, so I think that will be a whole adventure of its own. Should I go to a Macy's and try on everything they have? Where do I start from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391845 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 03:48:03 +0000 MNsara 391845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm not nearly analytical enough, but Jenava's Water Row idea sounds like something I can picture you in!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391781 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:47:13 +0000 Jenava 391781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in my booties.

It's really nice to have lovely things that go inside your purse as well. The second tube of Dior lipbalm, matching or nicely contrasting wallet, eyeglass case, key fob or case, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391754 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:26:28 +0000 Jonesy 391754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391739 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:14:37 +0000 nancylee 391739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the idea of some colorful scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391735 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 02:11:40 +0000 Lisa 391735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once we enter boot season it tends not to stop. I'm voting for another pair of boots (or booties). And you often layered dresses last year, I vote for a cashmere topper (cardigan or sweater) to stay warmer and have a break from layering with a blazer. Also a handbag is always a great investment item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391689 Tue, 26 Jul 2011 00:55:33 +0000 krishnidoux 391689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a cute umbrella </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391671 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 23:55:30 +0000 lynn 391671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391664 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 23:33:32 +0000 Mo 391664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae and Joy are on the same page as me - cashmere and/or sweater dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391646 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 22:41:52 +0000 Anonymous 391646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>possibly a sweater dress?<br /> You wear scarves so well. How about a beautiful new scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-shopping-plan-for-2011-2012-input-needed#post-391643 Mon, 25 Jul 2011 22:39:21 +0000 rae 391643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or what about cashmere?

I purged my closet a bit over the weekend. Thanks to some purging, donating and some creative refashioning, my summer wardrobe is now in good shape and my fall/winter wardrobe has always been more small, manageable, and harmonious. So apart from replacing basics as need arises (bras, underwear, socks, tights, gym clothes, work horses should they happen to die on me), I decided to pool my funds towards the purchase of spendy, big ticket items (which for me would be upwards of $50-100 depending on the type of the item). Can you help me compile a list? </p> <p>I currently have the following:<br /> Puffer<br /> Trench coat<br /> 2 pairs of knee high boots<br /> Two leather jackets<br /> All of these have been recently purchased, fit me well and make me happy. </p> <p>So I am thinking:<br /> A wool coat<br /> A handbag<br /> A pair of sunglasses<br /> A watch </p> <p>What am I missing? Thanks! </p>
