I'm excited to shop. Yes, no COS but I could pick up at PO box at the boarder...still, a very risky proposition with returns, etc.<br /> I'll check out Zara.</p> <p>I've never been deliberate before, or really set a budget. It's amazing how it adds up, you're so right kiwigal, especially if you want to get good stuff.<br /> I'm glad to hear there are others with my budget. I want to get a couch and save for home renos, so that eats up money too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simple-dress-silhouette-for-fall#post-1545195 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 12:31:45 +0000 Word Lily 1545195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, fun! So chic, so fab! I'm excited to see this happen!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simple-dress-silhouette-for-fall#post-1545177 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 11:51:51 +0000 Suz 1545177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow!! I am super excited by all of this. First off, I love the silhouette, and these pieces are gorgeous. The texture of the coat, the cut of each piece...I want to see you modelling some of these!&nbsp;</p> <p>The other thing I love is your deliberative attitude. You've clearly given this some serious thought and have a vision and a plan to achieve it (even if it means stretching the budget a bit). I still tend to put the cart ahead of the horse and buy up all the pretty things -- only <b>afterwards </b>considering what I actually want to look like. Not the best approach.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like Cos, too, but we don't have it in Canada yet. As for alternatives...I'm not sure, but Zara might have some options at a lower price point.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simple-dress-silhouette-for-fall#post-1545146 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 10:08:03 +0000 Cococat 1545146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love dresses 1 and 3. Looking forward to seeing your styling Smittie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simple-dress-silhouette-for-fall#post-1545133 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 09:47:50 +0000 Maneera 1545133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember you in the pink dress....you looked really chic. I like the direction you're going to take for fall/winter. Dress 1 is AMAZING! I also love 4. Great picks for a winter refresher! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simple-dress-silhouette-for-fall#post-1545127 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 09:07:14 +0000 Sal 1545127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this look very much Smittie, it seems a more minimalist/architectural update on your current look. &nbsp;It is different but not too different. &nbsp;I especially love the first dress, the cream one. &nbsp;So sleek and I can imagine it with black or tan/cognac boots!</p> <p>If &nbsp;I love something I am very happy to repeat it often. &nbsp;I really don't think other people notice or care.</p> <p>I am probably looking at a similar budget to you for summer clothes/updates. &nbsp;It is amazing how few items it can get sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/simple-dress-silhouette-for-fall#post-1545100 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 05:10:02 +0000 Anonymous 1545100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My August 'challenge' (it is more like a game to me) was to figure out what to do for my fall/winter capsule for under $1000. </p> <p>I realized that my existing clothes, although uninspiring shape-wise, are still pretty nice...the fabrics are nice, they're in good condition, and they fit. So I'm working with them this year by adding nice scarves.</p> <p>I also have a good bag, and new Frye boots. I'll have to repeat a lot, but I think I'm OK with that.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Out with pants...</b></p> <p>Well, I don't look good in pants, overall. I'm lucky in that I look slim in skinnies, but my legs are so very short, and pants do nothing to disguise that fact. I realized after buying a shift dress this year, that dresses and tunics are the future for me. But the dress has to hide my hips and fall straight down or be a-line or else it doesn't work as well.</p> <p>So, for fall, I'd like to add &nbsp;some tidy, clean, dress-based outfits. I've attached a couple of pics (1, 2) as 'finds', below. I really like COS. If you have other recs along the same lines, I would love to hear about them!</p> <p>I've already purchased the 3, 4, 5, 6. 3 and 4 come out of the $1000 budget so I have $430 to work with...I just don't think I can get all the stuff I'd like for that (I'd like 2 dresses, 3 scarves, 2 tights), so I think I'll stretch my budget a bit.</p> <p>As others have suggested, I'll continue to wait for more fall wear to come out.<br />Thanks for reading </p>
