And if they're white, they're totally see-through. I'm sure the right one will turn up eventually.</p> <p>In other news, I've edited my spring essentials list down to the following:</p> <p>Red flats<br /> Some kind of leather bag with tote and cross-body straps--my current black one is dying :(<br /> Trench<br /> Colourful, lightweight scarves<br /> Layering tops and tees<br /> Bootcut or straight leg jeans</p> <p>And for summer:<br /> Gladiators<br /> Thong sandals (these last 2 are really summer items)<br /> Denim clams<br /> Walk shorts<br /> Sleeveless tops </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists/page/2#post-48887 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:31:24 +0000 Patience 48887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, that outfit is so you! I could see you in those shoes and dress in an instant. I'm going to keep a look out for both yellow sandals and sandals in that style because I think you could do both if you can't find it all in one shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists/page/2#post-48868 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 09:57:45 +0000 Inge 48868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the complete outfit as well Brianna:-)</p> <p>I found it on shabbyapple.com<br /> The dress in the picture is this one, I think:<br /> <a href="http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-222-marthas-vineyard.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-2.....eyard.aspx</a></p> <p>This is a similar one in black:<br /> <a href="http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-15-nantucket.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-15-nantucket.aspx</a></p> <p>Have a look around, they have a few more cute ones. The shoes are no longer on the site, though.</p> <p>Is it just me, or do you find it hard to find shirtdresses like this that are not black or brown too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48668 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 18:51:02 +0000 Laura 48668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brianna, I'd go with a 7.5 - you don't want them slipping off your feet. That's the reason they aren't 8-hour shoes for me. For some reason I have to grip them a tiny bit with my toes. Does that make any sense at all?? It might be that they are a little big for me so I'd go smaller rather than larger if that's what you're wondering. You're going to love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48659 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 18:09:31 +0000 Ariadne 48659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, those shoes are great. I want some too. In fact, I want that entire outfit. It's perfect! The shoes, the bag, the turquoise choker, the shirtdress... sigh. I'm dying to find a shirtdress exactly like that (only in white, grey, ink blue, or even black or some other colour). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48632 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 15:52:40 +0000 Inge 48632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute sandals Laura and Brianna!!</p> <p>Patience: I'd love that, thanks! Not sure if this is technically a sandal, but I'd like something like this:<br /> <a href="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk120/Maundering/Sandals/Iwanttheseshoes-wedgesmetriempjedat.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i278.photobucket.com/al.....pjedat.jpg</a><br /> So a sandal where the straps start in the middle and then go around your heel (does this type of shoe have a name? I never know how to search for these).</p> <p>Actually I'd take this in red or pewter or another colour as well, they're not easy to find apparently.</p> <p>And: I'd love to see some examples of what you consider cute yellow wedge sandals too! (heel height between 2 and 3 inches;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48527 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 02:19:58 +0000 Ariadne 48527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, that's great! How many "hours" would you say they are for you, and what aspect ends up bothering your foot? Would you say they're true to size? I'm a 7.5 in length, but my feet are kind of wide. I'm trying to decide between a 7.5 and an 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48497 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 01:00:32 +0000 Laura 48497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brianna, I have that second pair of sandals in silver and you wouldn't believe how many compliments I get when wearing them. They are not 8-hour shoes for me, but they might be for you. You'll love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48439 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 21:51:11 +0000 Nicole 48439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a mch clearer idea of what I want/need now that I've cleaned out the old closet.</p> <p>White Jeans<br /> Dark Clam Diggers<br /> White Clam Diggers<br /> White Sweater<br /> White Cardigan<br /> Dark Deep Purple Camisole<br /> Short Sleeve Tops that can span work and weekend wear<br /> White Purse </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48386 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 19:43:32 +0000 Ariadne 48386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the similarities on everyones' lists.

It's definitely something best taken on as a team.</p> <p>My list is looking similar to everyone's:</p> <p>White jeans<br /> White and dark denim clamdiggers<br /> Dark fitted denim jacket<br /> Yellow flats, maybe turquoise too<br /> Grey cons<br /> Interesting "girlie" woven tops to wear with clamdiggers, and under cardis<br /> White double-wrap belt<br /> White or bronze fun statement watch </p> <p>I will also always be looking for cute A-line day dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48340 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:31:39 +0000 lynz07 48340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is sad but I have 12 pages typed in Word of my Spring/Summer wish list. I hate all of my clothes and last spring/summer didnt buy anything so I feel that I am allowed to splurge this year. I want any outfit from Chadwicks or Metrostyle they are my new favorite site. I know I wont be able to afford everything on my 12 pages but my new thing is looking for outfits that can be mixed and matched. Oh how I love for spring - I am so sick of winter! lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48338 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:31:07 +0000 lynz07 48338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is sad but I have 12 pages typed in Word of my Spring/Summer wish list.

Dark denim clamdiggers<br /> 2. White clamdiggers<br /> 3. Dark denim knee-length skirt (pencil or slight A-line)<br /> 4. A couple of day dresses<br /> 5. Cropped cardis OR Angie's strongly recommended fitted denim jacket for wearing over the dresses<br /> 6. A couple of pair of casual 8-hour shoes (i.e., the summer version of a fashion sneaker). I've seen some really cute "athletic ballerina" hybrids, but they weren't available in my width, unfortunately.<br /> 7. A couple of lightweight blousy tops for wearing with clams and/or denim skirt</p> <p>If my list were actually a "wish" list rather than a "need" list, it would be much longer, but I think my budget will only handle what's listed above, if that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48274 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 04:15:35 +0000 shana 48274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. White bootcut jeans<br /> 2. Red wedge shoes &#38; sandals<br /> 3. Some bright colored sandals - maybe teal or turquoise or yellow<br /> 4. A couple of cute elbow length summer weight cardigans<br /> 5. Cute lightweight print skirts<br /> 6. Summer dresses (yeah I'm not breastfeeding this summer so I can wear dresses again!)<br /> 7.Fitted Denim Jacket to replace the not so fitted Gap one that I currently have in my closet. BTW, when I was at the GAP last weekend, I did see their denim jacket in stock that looks identical to the one everyone was stalking back in the fall. </p> <p>Hmmm, I guess my list is more spring/summer than strictly spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48261 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:53:42 +0000 Donna 48261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, thanks, that's very helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48259 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:49:51 +0000 Ana 48259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, when I tried it on, it seemed to run kind of big. I usually wear a medium, and the small fit better. It was kind of tight, but I think the style is better on the fitted side. My denim jacket always stretches out a bit, like a pair of jeans does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48252 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:43:02 +0000 Maya 48252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) JUMPER DRESS! I haven't found any with the right neckline so far but I want this more than I can even put into words. I can already think of a basquillion ways to wear it.</p> <p>2) Comfy shoes. The eternal search continues...</p> <p>3) White waistcoat. I found one at UO last year and I could kick myself for not buying it. It had pinstripes and it was so cute, and it actually FIT, but I didn't know how to wear it at the time so I passed on it.</p> <p>4) Other summery dresses. I might have to brave Macy's alone and track down a few.</p> <p>5) That H&#38;M jacket. </p> <p>6) Lightweight, short-sleeved jackets to wear over dresses</p> <p>6) Gray cons </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48251 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:42:55 +0000 Donna 48251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, that jacket is cute. I'd love to see a picture too. Also, can you give some fit info for Limited items. Is the jacket true-to-size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48242 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:31:36 +0000 bella 48242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, that's really affordable. Do you have a picture of yourself in this jacket? I can't visualize how these denim jackets are supposed to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48235 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:16:09 +0000 Sarah 48235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one! I wore it today, and I love it.</p> <p>Here's a great one that Ana and I found awhile ago. It looks really nice on...very fitted.<br /> <a href="http://www.thelimited.com/detail/index/item_desc/short-denim-jacket/item/8438410/clearance/clearance" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelimited.com/deta...../clearance</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48234 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:15:11 +0000 bella 48234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - spot on! That's probably the only clothing item that I not only want for spring but also need! I have never (seriously!) had a denim jacket and I want one so bad! I would appreciate some affordable suggestions from all of you. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48232 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 03:10:12 +0000 Angie 48232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to see a fitted denim jacket on everyone’s list if you don’t already have one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48157 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 20:52:44 +0000 Ariadne 48157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's mine--I've been working on it for a while. My spring/summer wardrobe is not in the best shape, so this is long.</p> <p>Essential or almost-essentials:</p> <p>red 8-hour flats<br /> yellow converse or 8-hour flats or both<br /> grey converse<br /> ultra-comfortable wedge sandals, cannot be slides<br /> T-strap or gladiator sandals, maybe the Gap flower ones, must be 8-hour as well, cannot be slides<br /> lightweight cobalt, fuschia, and bright yellow scarves<br /> fuschia cardigan<br /> simple ink or indigo blue dress<br /> shirtdress<br /> Killer trench coat, preferably ink blue, would consider cream if it's easily washable<br /> dark denim clams<br /> A few longer chunky beaded necklaces in fuschia, yellow, and cobalt--I'll probably make these<br /> Moto jacket, colour is up for debate<br /> layering tees, tops or blouses, must be non-iron and machine washable</p> <p>Maybe, but not essential:<br /> a couple of flattering, sleeveless tops (these might wait til summer)<br /> a skirt with yellow in it<br /> turquoise or cobalt flats<br /> turquoise or cobalt cardigan<br /> fuschia flats<br /> Nine West snake print flats that Ana linked to in some other thread<br /> I MIGHT be convinced to CONSIDER a white skirt or white clams<br /> 2 or 3 more dresses; I LOVE dresses<br /> Tops, tops, tops<br /> A nude or cream handbag<br /> metallic heeled sandals, cannot be slides--these will get bumped to "necessity" if a wedding or similar event comes up<br /> AND, if I win the lottery, the yellow giraffe-print cardigan that JCrew has </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48147 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 19:58:09 +0000 Patience 48147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I told myself I wouldn't make lists, but of course, I have one. I'm just not going to be very active about filling it.</p> <p>1. white skinnies/straight legs-- the ones I have are boot cuts hemmed for flats so they'll do<br /> 2. perfect clamdiggers-- I'm going to stick with the ones I have from last year unless I find they are not fitting right or I find the perfect ones.<br /> 3. 1-2" wedge gladiator<br /> 4. Blousie tops<br /> 5. A killer dress<br /> 6. a white skirt or a yellow and white skirt (Tanya, I'm not just copying, I promise)<br /> 7. I guess I might as well add my glasses<br /> 8. Arty tees and white tees for layering under a vest<br /> 9. A short sleeve jacket<br /> 10. A plain white button down</p> <p>Ana, which bag are you saving up for?</p> <p>Inge, I'm all over helping you find some yellow wedge sandals. </p> <p>I have actually bought a few pairs of spring shoes already and a couple clothing items and feel like I'm done with spring shopping. I'm looking ahead to summer and the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48134 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 19:08:38 +0000 Inge 48134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did a big closet sweep in September, so there aren't too many Summer clothes left. I'll definitely need to stock up and I'd love:</p> <p>- patterned and plain A-line skirts in 'my' colours<br /> - wrap and A-line Summer dresses, preferably some with elbow-length sleeves too, to wear when it's a bit chillier<br /> - a Summer trench (I'm eagerly awaiting the Soïa &#38; Kyo Spring collection)<br /> - bootcut or straight-legged dark-wash jeans<br /> - a fun Summer blazer<br /> - light-weight Summer trousers<br /> - charcoal and hunter green Converse<br /> - a Summer bag (no idea yet)<br /> - Summery scarves<br /> - Summer tops, shirts and blouses with interesting details<br /> - a perfectly fitting denim jacket<br /> - a few chunkier and longer necklaces<br /> - maybe a pair of yellow wedge sandals (yellow!!! If you'd said I'd be considering yellow sandals 6 months ago, I would have burst out laughing, you guys are changing how I think about clothes!)<br /> - maybe a belt or two (if and only if you can convince me that I actually can wear belts in my upcoming belt thread;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48130 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:46:21 +0000 Anonymous 48130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fun to think about and helps when shopping! I need to try on last year's stuff to find out how much still will work but I'll definitely be looking for:<br /> 1. White denim pencil skirt<br /> 2. More Me Too Swans. esp. in black/cream or white and metalic<br /> 3. Light weight elbow-length tops including a graphic tee or two since upper arms are no longer something I want on display.<br /> 4. Stocking up on aqua and coral things which I'm making my signature colors (esp. coral) and maybe adding the right royal or cobalt blue to that list, also navy if I can find it. I'd love to find a pant length navy tank type cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48119 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:06:43 +0000 Violet 48119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have too much on my list yet. I will probably discover I need more once I start wearing my spring clothes:</p> <p>1. Dresses. It's so easy to wear just one piece of clothing and be done with my outfit. I would like to get some I can wear to work.</p> <p>2. Some tops to go with orphan skirts. I got rid of a couple of unflattering crew neck shirts and I need to replace those with v-necks.</p> <p>3. Skirts. I wear skirts all the time in warm weather and I would like to incorporate more into my wardrobe.</p> <p>4. Wedge sandals. I bought one pair last year and I love how comfortable they are. I'd like to get another pair to wear with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48117 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:00:31 +0000 Elika 48117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fun My list:</p> <p>1) Summer handbag. Still working on and in doubts about this one.<br /> 2) A few summer knee-length skirts.<br /> 3) A few shortsleeved summer blouses (with ruffles, ties, prints, etc) in colours that work for me and I'll be able to layer with in autumn.<br /> 4) 8-hour flats (preferably cream).<br /> 5) New fashion sneakers to replace my old ones that are falling apart.<br /> 6) pearl necklace/choker (probably found)<br /> 7) A pair of clamdiggers<br /> 8) chic sandals (preferable bronze).<br /> 9) white jeans<br /> 10) premium dark wash straight smart casual jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-2009-wish-lists#post-48110 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:43:05 +0000 Tanya 48110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great question! I really love these, probably beacuse I really like making lists. I'm a listoholic :)</p> <p>As usual, my list is huge, and if I end up with one third of what's on it I'll be very happy:</p> <p>1. White and dark premium denim clamdiggers to replace my current ones<br /> 2. White denim pencil skirt<br /> 3. Floral yellow full cotton skirt (found, but not bought yet)<br /> 4. Two cotton sundresses, one white and one printed ( have no sundresses whatsoever)<br /> 5. A fun little printed jersey dress to wear under boyfriend cardi<br /> 6. Cardis/ knitted tops/ blouses in lilac/ turquoise/ hot pink<br /> 7. A couple of arty tees<br /> 8. A couple of longer lightweight vests to wear over the tees<br /> 9. Nude closed toe wedge shoes to replace my current ones that are dying<br /> 10. Maroon and purple Converse<br /> 11. More Me Too Swanns (only have one)-looking for black, white and pewter ones<br /> 12. Gladiator sandals with a small wedge<br /> 13. Nice sunglasses </p>
