And belts in general that are pliable and waist-friendly. Some of my best-fitting belts have prominent metal buckles so that I don't feel I can wear jewelry with them, as there is too much going on. I like belts as an accent or interest piece, but a lot of times I need neckline interest or filling, so the belt needs to be more in the background.

I love when that happens), but here are the things I would like to round out my wardrobe:  * Winter maxis (heavier gauge knits, wools, et cetera) * a pair of quality light tan/ taupe knee high flat foots, without a bunch of gewgaws on them  * flippy just-above-the-knee skirts (one light, one dark) * heavy weight tights  Mary.S on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-wardrobe-holes-1/page/2#post-1103502 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:34:40 +0000 Mary.S 1103502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've lost some weight so tons of my stuff is too big....really on the lookout for: 1.  Pencil skirts...I been wanting a stretchy tribal vibe skirt to wear with some fun new booties I got myself for an early Christmas. 2. New skinny jeans....I'm tall and thrifty so finding a 2 long has been a bit of a challenge. And I want dark wash. 3.

A perfectly fitting navy blazer, or one that can be altered to fit perfectly.  I've been looking so long that I'm thinking of having one custom made.

I don't know where to look for a variety of well-made belts. I tend to get overwhelmed by too many hosiery options. I'm thinking of trying Jockey's slip shorts. I have a coupon that might allow me to get them half off. And I've found the bag I want. Of course it's no longer available at Nordstrom, so I'm currently watching one on eBay. dustt on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-your-wardrobe-holes-1#post-1102044 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:20:59 +0000 dustt 1102044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ no glaring holes - but high on the want list is a grey collarless suit jacket that won't break the bank!!

I can wear my trench with jeans but would like to have another option. I have ordered 2 from Nordstrom and am hoping one might work. Thinking ahead, I know that I have some holes for summer. But for now I'm good. I like winter clothes so much better than summer clothes so I plan to really enjoy wearing my favorites for the next several months.

Not perfect, but pretty decent for now. With knit pants I have a strong desire to wear tops that mostly cover the rear view...I know some people don't but I just feel better that way. So, my wardrobe hole I'm most interested in filling is tunic length cold weather tops. I just ordered 5 from Nordstrom...have no plans to keep that many but I'm hoping some will make me happy. I have many other holes, but that one feels the most pressing.
