I think I need to do a K/R post to help me narrow the shoes choices. </p> <p>I went into the season with a plan to add a few tops so I did follow that idea. And I always add a few pairs of shoes each season. I also need some cooler interesting tops for summer and maybe a couple of dresses. I can wear the sweaters for work because of A/C but I need some cooler options for weekend/smart casual times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-summer-want-lists#post-1195619 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:48:50 +0000 rabbit 1195619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I've bought a lot of stuff recently, after about a five year dry spell where I bought no&nbsp;more than a handful of practical clothes a year - so my closet was minimal to begin with. &nbsp;I'm in a mixed season climate, so almost all of it will get worn in summer as well as winter. &nbsp;But what I bought that is particularly springy/summery:</p> <p>-several loose flowy knit and stretchy woven&nbsp;tops, short as well as scrunchable sleeves, most with high low or waterfall hems in neutral colors (but some patterns).</p> <p>-a gray/black microstriped maxi skirt, &nbsp;a blue/lilac&nbsp;floral pencil skirt, a blue/green/gray geometric patterned woven shorter skirt (I might take this back, it might be too short for bare legs, although it's colors and materials feel summery to me and match most of my tops).</p> <p>-two pairs of pointy toe ankle strapped flats - mirror silver and suede cool-pink. &nbsp;I think the pink ones are going back since they are a bit uncomfortable.</p> <p>-white retro style low-top Guess sneakers after I returned replacement sneakers that weren't inspiring.</p> <p>What I'm still looking for: &nbsp;a white cool underlayer camisole, &nbsp;possibly a flowy white shirt that isn't a tee, possibly something flowy and light in lilac,&nbsp;possibly a casual brightly colored or brown&nbsp;leather bag. &nbsp;Hot weather is still months away though, and I need to heavily wear what I have first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-summer-want-lists#post-1195604 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:31:30 +0000 Jewell 1195604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a board I created using <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe">c</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-do-a-picture-board-of-your-wardrobe">arter's tutorial</a> of what I've purchased so far from my <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-plan-seasonal-six-for-ss">spring/summer want lists</a>. The lists have been revised multiple times already, influenced by Angie's blog posts/fashion picks and what I'm currently seeing in magazines. I've removed some of the original&nbsp;items to make room for the Angie pick tweed moto, boyfriend jeans (not yet purchased), and a cropped sweater (still looking for pale blue). And since I got the gold watch as a gift, I was able to put something else in its place.</p> <p>White loafers sound fab- can't wait to see them. The only silky bomber jacket I've seen so far is this one, but it's not a print:<br />&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.express.com/clothing/silver+soft+bomber+jacket/pro/6774205/cat450004">http://www.express.com/clothin...../cat450004</a></p> <p>I've seen a few printed ones, but they were cotton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-summer-want-lists#post-1195600 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:25:56 +0000 MRL 1195600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- light wash BF jeans<br />-white jeans<br />- a new spring handbag<br />- a blush color top<br />- something in ink blue</p> <p>Just bought loafers!<br />&nbsp;Most of my inspirations come from Angie's posts!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-summer-want-lists#post-1195592 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 15:16:31 +0000 kkards 1195592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i haven't bought anything yet. i'm just starting to think about what i need/want. loafers and slip on sneakers are high on my list.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-summer-want-lists#post-1195571 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 14:58:53 +0000 Kristin L 1195571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with your shopping list! So far I'be bought a crochet dress and a black and white abstract top for my spring/summer wardrobe. I know I need 1-2 more pairs of sandals, but I haven't really started looking. And I'd love to find a gray skirt, but I haven't seen many of those around lately. Some of my inspiration comes from here and others from Vivienne Files and Pinterest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-summer-want-lists#post-1195561 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 14:50:59 +0000 always trying 1195561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What have you purchased from your spring/ summer want lists?&nbsp; Have you revised it?&nbsp; what is influencing your decisions?</p> <p>So far I have two pairs of flats, and higher heel sandals that are waiting to see if I will return them, and one shoe purchase that I was not actually looking for, but bought pointy toe lower heel navy pumps that are keepers.&nbsp; Have white loafers on order -will post photo when they come..</p> <p>The white denim jacket is a little larger than I was expecting, but I like it, so is a keeper.&nbsp; Now I am wanting a grey or similar color maxi skirt.&nbsp; Have a black one that I love, and they seem like they are going to be a biggie around my area as the stores have lots and Macys on line has quite a few too.&nbsp; </p> <p>A definite purchase is going to be the Birks, but not in a big hurry for them.</p> <p>As for what influenced my wants and purchases-The Angie blog about the loafers and my ? about the white, seeing all the Berkies on 6pm, and wanting the maxi skirt because I am seeing so many in stores, and a few women wearing them, and I find them very versatile, a nice change from pants, great for me as getting too old for short dresses without hose, so are cooler than wearing panty hose.</p> <p>Am wanting a print silky bomber jacket, but having no luck finding one in a suitable price range.&nbsp; Not sure I will wear it a lot so want to keep the price down.&nbsp; will feel guilty if I pay a lot and then not wear it much.</p>
