They're adorable and comfy, but unfortunately zappos was out of my size :(. Maybe you'll have more luck than me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for/page/2#post-408848 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 16:48:36 +0000 rosee 408848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suz: check out this denim jacket: looks much better on than in the ebay photos (also a darker indigo color than pictured). It's the exact same jacket as in the photo below. I already bought it when I say the Audra blog post.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebay.ca/itm/TULLE-JACKET-BLAZER-JEAN-DENIM-PLEAT-CARGO-POCKETS-P-S-/160514457902?pt=US_CSA_WC_Outerwear&#038;hash=item255f68412e" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.ca/itm/TULLE-J.....255f68412e</a></p> <p>For the ladies looking for casual black jackets -- check out your local thrift stores. I picked up 2 recently that have a nipped waist, made of cotton twill. Can't await to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for/page/2#post-408833 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 16:18:57 +0000 rosee 408833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking (after SYC -- next summer) that I will invest in a pair of Remix Vintage sandals -- the Picasso -- a 1940s style. Originally I wanted dark brown but now I have dark brown clog sandals, so maybe I'll go with dark red. Dark red was an authentic vintage 40s color. I'll have to wear the shoes with more modern pieces so I don't look like I'm in costume. I haven't seen the shoes IRL yet so this is still a wish list item (I have heard they are very comfortable though).</p> <p><a href="http://remixvintageshoes.com/picasso.html" rel="nofollow">http://remixvintageshoes.com/picasso.html</a> (click on the "more views" to better see the "granny" shoes)</p> <p>My other reward purchase might be a pinstripe grey suit (with jacket, pants and skirt) similar to the one Angie posted.</p> <p>Or... I think I may order a dress from Heart My Closet on Etsy (thanks to another YLF thread), so I'm thinking this one: (but I would do it with a swing skirt instead of a wiggle-pencil skirt)</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/61938486/ivy-pencil-dress-custom-made-wiggle-all" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/61.....wiggle-all</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for/page/2#post-408825 Mon, 22 Aug 2011 16:08:23 +0000 Tessera 408825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for the perfect nude pump for years. Something like this:<br /> <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod129040022&#038;parentId=cat19680731&#038;masterId=cat18430738&#038;index=78" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/st.....8;index=78</a></p> <p>but not patent, and in a wide size. If I find the right color/finish, they don't come in wide. Or, if it's the right size/color/finish, it costs over $600. Or it hurts, because the toe box is too narrow. I've almost given up, but there remains a tiny spark of hope. Surely I can't be the only woman in existence with these requirements in a nude pump? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for/page/2#post-408618 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 21:16:21 +0000 nancylee 408618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A nice lightweight neutral color summer blazer...although I may have to wait until next summer to find one at this point! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for/page/2#post-408614 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 20:53:09 +0000 Sona 408614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the perfect midi skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-408610 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 20:31:33 +0000 Kari 408610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DressLover, I'm with you. I'd still love to find the perfect pair of medium gray, non-suede, knee high, low-or-mid-heeled boots that will fit my wider-than-average calves AND cost less than $200, ideally under $150. I'd be thrilled with pewter, too. I'm not actively hunting, but just always on the lookout. I just haven't seen anything that strikes my fancy *and* meets my specifications.</p> <p>If I can find my boots AND my sanity I'll feel doubly blessed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-408601 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 19:41:54 +0000 fern 408601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking for a deep red/ wine sweaterdress in light wool, and cut for a pear shape. Maybe wrap style or empire waist? And not high-neck - a V, cowl or scoop neck.</p> <p>I have the Frye Veronica in Sapphire and they were worth every penny. Although if I hadn't spent all my pennies on those, I might have gone for the Paige in Forest green - mmm.</p> <p>@ Diana, I have El Naturalista N740 in "Mora". They are chunky Mary-Janes in the best plum leather and they are 24 hour shoes - seriously, I might sleep in mine. They are on sale at Endless.</p> <p>I'm new here - should I start a separate thread for Diana?<br /> Can I post a link?<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3cp7dyx" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/3cp7dyx</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-407800 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 20:41:23 +0000 Anonymous 407800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need a MOTGroom dress for next summer but the search is on as it would be lovely to find something on sale. I doubt I'll have a reason to wear it again but want to look good. I'm after a dress that is about 41-44 inches from the shoulder (midi) and has some coverage on top for a flat-chest and older neck. It can be sleeveless. I don't want black or pastel. I'm thinking some color of blue from navy to a medium tone, or turquoise or coral. Grey or brown would be good if I don't blend into the woodwork for photos. I'm not a fan of shiny fabrics or lots going on, but it would just depend on how it looks on. If you see something, please let me know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-407796 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 20:18:45 +0000 MsMary 407796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to add reasonably-priced green shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-407788 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 19:42:25 +0000 rae 407788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>winter hats for my giant head </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-407724 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 17:41:37 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 407724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something like the Halogen seamed skirt but in the UK! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-407707 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:58:36 +0000 MsMary 407707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My beloved green military blazer got too big and went away in the swap, and I am on the hunt for a replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-407704 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:47:24 +0000 rachylou 407704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, lyn :)</p> <p>I'm looking for a pair of burgundy (Neiman's is calling it "bordeaux" this season) wool trousers, slim fit. I saw a pair in Marie Claire attributed to Marni. For $1200. Not that I have $1200 to toss off on a pair of pants, but I went to the Marni website and no such pants to be found! I've run a search on all the sites I can think of too.</p> <p>Actually I loved the whole look that went with the pants. I'd like a 3/4 sleeve sweater top and tissue turtle-neck to go with. If I can't have burgundy, I'd take dark green or dark blue, something that goes with teal.</p> <p>I'd also like:<br /> - grey flat ankle booties<br /> - heeled flats in grey patent leather (had a pair I loved to death and want to replace them)<br /> - black ballet flats with punky details - metal studs, straps<br /> - tie neck blouse in an edgy print<br /> - a stylish puffer that isn't cropped<br /> - tissue tees (always on my list) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-407611 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 13:43:16 +0000 lynne 407611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The perfect pair of red flats.

Whew! Gee, why has this been so hard to find :)?</p> <p>Also, a perfect boxy, slouchy black lightweight merino or cashmere long-sleeved crewneck or boatneck sweater with white or off-white stripes. This one should be easier to bag, I'm thinking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-407086 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:34:46 +0000 DressLover 407086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My sanity.

I'm so picky though that I haven't found anything like what I want. I envision something that I can wear with dark jeans and a spangly top for going out in the evening, but that I can also wear for a more casual situation or even to work in an office (assuming that one day I find another job, of course...). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-you-on-the-hunt-for#post-406960 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 08:06:49 +0000 CocoLion 406960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A leather shearling jacket. Perhaps aviator style. Something that can actually function as a coat in the winter. I am willing to plunk down some money, but so far I haven't gotten used to how much! I saw one on Bloomingdales.com from Joie for over $1700 recently.</p> <p>I was thinking more like, $1000.</p> <p>Then again, if it's the coolest thing ever and makes me drool, I could dip into my savings kitty, intended for a drywall project. Who needs drywall?
