Jill or Land's End (I think it was J. Jill). It's the only button-down shirt that I think is truly versatile. I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-year-im-going-to-splurge-on#post-1601671 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 16:35:38 +0000 texstyle 1601671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I already splurged on my sunglasses. Rayban Aviators.</p> <p>I'm happy with my jcrew chambray - after trying way too many others. It's still actually just a little bit heavy for Texas but I love it as a swimsuit coverup and in spring/fall it works well. It is an oversized fit though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-year-im-going-to-splurge-on#post-1601595 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 13:53:16 +0000 LaPed 1601595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For all you chambray-hunters, I bought one last summer from Alternative Apparel and absolutely adore it. The fabric is soft and substantial, the fit perfect (maybe runs a size small; if you're not sure their CS is fantastic and will answer questions promptly). Can't vouch for this season's but they have solid colours and a cute railroad stripe that I'm tempted to pick up as a duplicate, that's how much I like my first:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.alternativeapparel.com/womens-clothing/tops/shirts">http://www.alternativeapparel......ops/shirts</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-year-im-going-to-splurge-on#post-1601581 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 13:21:12 +0000 Helen11 1601581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those shoes, Anne! I haven't tried Ziera shoes yet. Too scared they'll fit and then I would splurge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-year-im-going-to-splurge-on#post-1601566 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 13:01:12 +0000 viva 1601566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I just don't know. I really am not much of a splurger -- I tend to be an ongoing buyer, especially when things are on sale. Maybe I need to rethink my tactics.</p> <p>Lisap: my daughter in Portland OR has needed to upgrade her footwear and outerwear because of the challenging weather out there. We bought her DARK RED Blundstones over the holidays, with red plaid goring! Such a little hipster. She looks adorable in them. </p> <p>ETA: I might splurge on a new piece of luggage this year. Every time I pack for (yet another) work trip, I tell myself it's time for a better bag. That could happen in 2016.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-year-im-going-to-splurge-on#post-1601562 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 12:54:51 +0000 Style Fan 1601562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking for a chambray or denim shirt as well.&nbsp; I had a great one and completely wore it out.&nbsp; It fell apart.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; This is a big hole in my wardrobe.&nbsp; <br />I am also looking for shoes/sandals to wear to my stepson's wedding in late August.&nbsp; I want metallic (bronze would be amazing). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-year-im-going-to-splurge-on#post-1601482 Wed, 13 Jan 2016 06:10:55 +0000 anne 1601482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New running shoes.

I would love some jewelry in that blue or green, too. Maybe I'll find something. Or make something! My parents are getting into jewelry making and I'm thinking about giving it a try, too. Now I'm imagining some glass wrapped in silver wire... </p> <p>I just treated myself to a new starter spring capsule and I'm super duper excited! I haven't allowed myself to buy that many things or spend that much money in years, and it NEEDED to be done. It feels good to have it over with and know that moving forward anything I buy will match things I already have and I will have significantly fewer wardrobe holes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-year-im-going-to-splurge-on#post-1601366 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 23:13:23 +0000 Anonymous 1601366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what's percolating in my brain right now - and I haven't decided if I'll do any of it yet:</p> <p>*a pair of black Blundstones<br />*black sneakers with a white sole - not for working out<br />*another black cashmere sweater - love a short sleeve one if possible, but in a non-traditional cut&nbsp;</p> <p>*still on the hunt for my HEWI - the perfect black pant; I still need a pair for now through to summer - probably will &nbsp;splurge on &nbsp;another pair of the Vince Strapping pants if my local boutique has them in stock as I've found nothing else remotely inspiring</p> <p>Further to your chambray shirt idea - I'd love one with ripped off front pockets - already ripped off for me The idea of pairing it with beach glass jewellery is so tasty - I am craving a margarita right now. &nbsp;The shirt needs to be in a fairly heavy chambray too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-year-im-going-to-splurge-on#post-1601352 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 22:53:11 +0000 Helena 1601352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had a chambray shirt in my closet for the last few years; it is a spring and summer favorite!

I love my fall/winter palette but I want more ocean-beach colors for spring/summer. I've been looking for that perfect chambray for two years now but this year I'm willing to spend what it takes, even if it's more than I think reasonable.&nbsp;And if I find the right piece, beach glass jewelry to remind me to stick with this palette.&nbsp;</p> <p>What are you going to treat yourself with this year? </p>
