And probably that's a good thing; I spent a lot at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! One of the few things on my wish list was a forest green structured bag. I love this one but it was out of my budget at full price. However I've found it for a good price via a reseller and am waiting for it to arrive. Other than that... Some clamdiggers and a pair of long shorts for summer are on my list, but I don't think there is anything else I need to add.

Target market 20-35 year olds, but a lot of it isn't inappropriate for women older than that. They don't do petites, but they do stock a lot of styles in XXS. I am often not the smallest size! And they do good jeans.

Never heard of that brand before. My HEWI is also tee shirts, but long sleeve. I'm okay-ish set on short sleeve right now. I'm not sure why long sleeves are harder to find; maybe I just don't try hard enough! Otherwise my other hunts include pants. I loathe shopping for them, so pretty much all pants, in any shape and configuration (full length, ankle, cropped). Though admittedly and inexplicably I'm kind of craving some wide-legged culottes, but I don't know how much wear they'd get and if I could justify such an addition.

Are they too frumpy? They have 2 textures therefore can blend with different shades of navy. I know they are not of the moment but I hope that they will work with summer navy outfits. rachylou on "What are you hunting for these days?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-hunting-for-these-days/page/2#post-1622135 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 02:18:15 +0000 rachylou 1622135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Add maybe loafer mules...

I have picked up some spring refreshers and feel pretty good about my regular closet at the moment. What I really need more than anything is updated workout gear - I ordered some stuff from Eddie Bauer to try and all of it except one shirt went back. In particular, my HEWI is a pair of athletic pants, semi-fitted to loose fit, with pockets and a long enough inseam. 90% of everything is tight, ala yoga pants or leggings, and the other 10% isn't available in tall. I've got a pair from Lucy that are possibly 10+ years old now, and they're still chugging along but one pair isn't really enough unless I want to do laundry constantly.

I've been looking for one for years! With elbow patches that are in the right spot -- harder to do for petites. It has to have that 'university professor genteel poverty' look. :-) I just got a couple of very satisfactory tee shirts from Aritzia a few weeks ago, if you like scoop necks. The style is called the Tandis t-shirt, and the heather grey colours have a very nice fabric. I got the charcoal. They exist in the same cut but a different fabric -- thinner and a bit less stretchy --  in solid colours, so I got one in white. I'm always on a quest for non-see-through white tee shirts, and this one was pretty good. Interestingly, though, I liked the fit of the charcoal one in XS, whereas the white one looked better in a size S -- therefore my white one is longer and drapier. Actually, Aritzia has about seventeen thousand tee shirts on offer -- you should check out their website. I assume they ship to the U.S. Anonymous on "What are you hunting for these days?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-hunting-for-these-days/page/2#post-1621896 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 17:42:46 +0000 Anonymous 1621896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One pair of full length, all season slacks in black.  One pair of full length, all season slacks in midnight (not hopeful).

I fell in love with the Prada pair Angie shared and am now fervently hoping someone does a good knockoff. I'm debating whether this Naturalizer pair is close enough It's a new shoe year in general for me. I need new black city/walking sandals and maybe a tan or luggage leather pair as well (candidates shown below). I'm also on the hunt for a walkable pair of polished grey shoes. I have a great RATE (Ragged Around the Edges) pair of grey peep toe booties but want something sleeker for slacks and dresses. I found these at Lands' End of all places and they should be here to try on next week.

Looking for a black v-neck sweater.  Greyscale on "What are you hunting for these days?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-hunting-for-these-days/page/2#post-1621745 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 05:50:23 +0000 Greyscale 1621745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My HEWIs right now are all basics. My favorite tees are faded and I noticed a tiny hole in one. I just found HEWI tank tops (at Old Navy!) so that's off the list. I'm also on the hunt for a lightweight black cotton buttoned shirt, and I think the upcoming Uniqlo Lemaire collection might have the perfect one, but who knows. Aside from that, I'm strangely uninterested in shopping. Oh, and the block heeled shoes thread reminded me that I've been drooling over a pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes like that. But I doubt I'll buy them.

Just purchased- white boyfriend jeans, ankle blue jeans, 2 t-shirt bras. Still trying to take stock but definitely need new sandals and warm/hot weather clothes (the worst- but got lots of great ideas from the earlier threads- wovens, interesting tops, easy dresses). Always searching for black slim pants that are more casual than dressy.

I am looking for: dark denim bermudas white denim bermudas khaki shorts spring/summer skirt a new bra silver sandals and maybe even a new bathing suit. It has been ages since I purchased one, but I don't wear them very often... I am always on the lookout for toppers as you all call them; it is the gaping hole in my wardrobe. I think that's all for now.  Anonymous on "What are you hunting for these days?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-hunting-for-these-days/page/2#post-1621701 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 03:25:45 +0000 Anonymous 1621701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Right now my HEWI is a jacket to wear with an EF bone pencil skirt that I bought at the last NAS. The one always pictured with it does not fit me very well. Even the smallest size is huge on me. I would love to find low contrast spring tweed in shades of white and taupe and that is not cropped but long enough to cover my rear. And I've been looking forever for the right pair of tomato red flats for summer.

Crew but a thinner, softer and more breathable fabric *New sneakers to replace worn down gold studded Taos. Options: white Taos, black Taos or purple (chunkier) Camper Want: *Fitted leather jacket that is snug in the waist but a bit looser in the waist.
