They are a found HEWI from last year. It is still too cold to wear footwear without wool socks. I've still got boots in regular rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1463403 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:55:51 +0000 chadya 1463403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spring?<br />A mythical season that occurs March 21st</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1463399 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:49:42 +0000 trekkiegirl 1463399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva - the two items you've purchased are stellar, I really like both of them!<br />AM - I also love your boards. How do you convert the PPT to an image? Or did you just upload the images you had saved for use in PPT?</p> <p>The purchase I'm most excited about right now is one I didn't even make myself! There is a store we see on the way home every day (hubz picks me up from the train) and it had this gorgeous red sleeveless peplum top with black lace at the collar, and he just couldn't get over how pretty it was. So last week, he stopped in and purchased it, then surprised me with it on the way home! I don't have any pictures of it yet, but imagine the plain red one below in shape and length, but with a v-neck, and a lot less black lace than the one I show here.I plan to wear it with my black pencil skirt with faux leather panels, and either the micromesh or lace top underneath. For a more casual vibe, I might wear it with skinny jeans and a black cardigan. </p> <p>My spring goals and inspiration are <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/tr3kkie9rl/wardrobe-goals-10/" rel="nofollow">here </a>- the items I'm most hoping to find and therefore probably most excited about are lightweight and lighter colored tights/hose for summer (my legs are like two glowsticks, I hate showing them bare!), and a pair of dark wash denim shorts that won't be too bootylicious. Most likely to be worn with leggings or tights, because again, I don't like showing my legs lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1463389 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:24:47 +0000 NoraBlack 1463389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all!<br />Here's my first spring purchases top list:<br />- <a href="http://grazialliani-shop.com/en/cotton-pareohttp://" rel="nofollow">100% Cotton Pareo</a>; i think this could be perfect as a coverup for this summer <br />- <a href="http://grazialliani-shop.com/en/grazialliani-net-dress-cotton-3" rel="nofollow">Net dress with long sleeves </a></p> <p>Can't wait to receive them, i love italian style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1446534 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:16:23 +0000 Gennifyr 1446534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The loafers are from forever21 of all places. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1446528 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:10:54 +0000 Angie 1446528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viv, haven't posted pics yet. You'll know when I do though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1446511 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:33:31 +0000 viva 1446511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting how much white is in our future! I’m looking<br /> forward to the spring WIWs. </p> <p><b>Laura: </b>The JCF<br /> flats are of moderate quality I would say. They are fabric, so my guess is that<br /> with my hard wear of shoes, they will only last one or possibly two seasons at<br /> most. But that’s pretty much what I would expect from a lightweight non-leather<br /> flat. </p> <p><b>Texstyle:</b> I hate<br /> thinking about shorts! I will be watching you closely to see if you find a<br /> style that I could be excited about.</p> <p><b>Ummlila: </b>I know<br /> what you mean. Puffers and heavy wool every single day. Ugh.</p> <p><b>ElizabethP:</b><br /> Thanks for the detail on that dress. I’m on a shopping break for a little while<br /> but when I can reach back into my wallet I may try that dress. I never order<br /> tall but it’s a smart idea to get more length.</p> <p><b>Angie:</b> Have you<br /> posted pics of the light blue Furla? I must have missed them. Can’t wait to see<br /> it!</p> <p><b>Linda and doubleh:</b><br /> Great shoes! Shine and florals – how utterly un-winterlike.</p> <p><b>Karie:</b> I love<br /> that Regent blazer – can’t wait to see that on you.</p> <p><b>Summer, Suz, Laura, Diana,<br /> and Unfrumped:</b> I admore your restraint. I am not ready to really start<br /> looking at my spring things yet, but I find that picking up a couple of new<br /> thigns is almost essential to getting through these tough last weeks/months of<br /> winter. Or, maybe I am just rationalizing?</p> <p><b>Ginkgo:</b> I can so<br /> relate. I stare so longingly at my white scuba top. I cannot wait to wear it. </p> <p><b>Retailgirl:</b> I<br /> love the sound of that cardigan! I know what you mean about taking out the<br /> spring clothing …. But my problem is that my closet holds pretty much all of my<br /> clothing, so I see it year round. Maybe that’s actually something I should<br /> consider changing, so that I get the emotional boost you mention!</p> <p>So looking forward to seeing all of the new purchases, <b>Deb, Rachylou, Laura, Kiwigal, Windchime,<br /> Ann, and Staysfit.</b></p> <p><b>AM:</b> I want to try<br /> to create boards like that, if I ever feel enough motivation. I’ve never done<br /> it before, but I really love yours and feel they could be useful.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Gennifyr:</b> Those<br /> loafers are AMAZING. Where are they from?</p> <p><b>Caro:</b> I’ve been<br /> thinking about new slip-ons too. I’ll be interested to see which you decide on. </p> <p>I’ve got to hop on a flight – hope I got to everyone! It’s<br /> been so fun reading all about the spring. Makes me forget what awaits me in<br /> Maine. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1446492 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 15:07:03 +0000 Caro 1446492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I for one am very much looking forward to getting some slip on trainers! I have been drooling over all the cute patterns that are out now from Vans, but all the brands are doing it--leopard print slip ons! Love <a href="http://www.spartoo.co.uk/Ash-JUNGLE-x251891.phphttp://" rel="nofollow">these ones from Ash the best</a>, but not really within my budget!!! They also have metallic ones, or shiny black ones... décisions décisions! </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1446414 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 11:24:51 +0000 Staysfit 1446414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased one silk blouse from WHBM, I also purchased a dress to match this jacket, but I couldn't get a pic of the dress sorry. It's a simple sheath, but it fits perfectly and dresses and tops are my primary goal for Spring/Summer.</p> <p>I have a shirt dress on order from Lafayette NY, I love the color. I'm hopeful it will look nice and fit well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1446397 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:03:39 +0000 Ingunn 1446397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to keep my closet in a tidy and somewhat minimal state, so I'm not adding a lot. Besides, I still love many of last years' purchases (hello Ted Baker tee and Karen Millen tote) and I'm looking forward to start wearing those again. But I've bought a pair of leather sneakers in cream (tusk) from Filippa K&nbsp;that I'm looking forward to break out. And, of course, the new navy moto as soon as it's warm enough. I also found a pale blue button down that I enjoy wearing already, and a striped sweater (COS). If I find a nice pair of jeans with a flare&nbsp;this spring, I might get it, and I like the idea of culottes - but maybe not for shorty me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about/page/2#post-1446286 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 01:09:55 +0000 Ann in New England 1446286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been a shopping fiend, since I Kondo'ed my closet. I know the goal was not to clean it out so that i could buy more, but I was left with almost nothing for spring and an impending trip to Florida.<br />I'm most looking forward to wearing a midi skirt I found at White House Black Market on sale. I haven't worn a midi skirt in decades, and I plan on pairing it with a new black and white striped v-neck tee that I got at Target for $6. I also just ordered a pair of white denim ankle jeans from Talbots; white denim is also something I haven't worn in decades, so I didn't want to splurge too much. I also have several pair of shoes on order.<br />Next on my list is a soft chambray shirt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446261 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 23:53:55 +0000 Windchime 1446261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was -10°F here this morning, so like many other shivering Fabbers, I'm going to be thrilled when I can start wearing less layers and put away my much-used Lands End puffer. </p> <p>I picked up a couple spring/summer tops at the Rack on huge discount; they will both help refresh my spring look. I also ordered the Munro Kimi loafers in white and am going to try white jeans from J Crew. </p> <p>Spring WILL arrive; it does every year... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446246 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 22:52:10 +0000 Sal 1446246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well for me it would be autumn/fall that lies ahead.<br />I have made two purchases</p> <p>1) Thrifted black boyfriend style blazer, made of textured silk. &nbsp;I will wear it open with jeans. &nbsp;</p> <p>2) Black fitted dress. &nbsp;Evening wear.</p> <p>Both were on my shopping list for the season so I am very happy. &nbsp;Whilst I don't go to lots of parties I decided that my current evening capsule was becoming a little dated (last year also a little tight - thankfully that is not the case now). &nbsp;But when I saw this classic sexy dress I decided to buy it. &nbsp;I cannot find a link online so will have to do a WIW!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446241 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 22:43:09 +0000 Gennifyr 1446241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of my spring shopping funds are going into tailoring my clothes (weight loss) but I did manage to order two new items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446212 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:53:49 +0000 deb 1446212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Anthropologie Flares are on there way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446211 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:51:58 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1446211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>viva, how's the quality of the JCF flats? I need a pair of printed pointy toe flats and they have several options.</p> <p>Also forgot I took advantage of the Everlane try on promo and have a few t shirts on their way to me. I imagine most of them will be too small but at least then I'll know one way or the other whether I need to bother with them in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446197 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:18:42 +0000 rachylou 1446197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White shoes and a white coat - I've gotten both, so I feel pretty set... for now ;)</p> <p>On the basics level - I could use some plain cardis and silky collared tees which are regular length.

This is new for me but I wanted a plan (and priorities) based on looks I wanted to achieve.

In addition to color, there's style to consider. This year, the planets were aligned and I was able to find some great things.</p> <p>The LBD was not a Springtime necessity, of course, but it's difficult to find the perfect LBD. When I found it, and it was on clearance, I had two good reasons to buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446104 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 18:55:22 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1446104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to mention that I picked up a pair of blue Born flats at Nordstrom Rack the other day - I'd been eyeing them online but they had sold out. That and two bras are the only things I've bought for spring so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446102 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 18:47:44 +0000 retailgirl 1446102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a great boyfriend cardigan from Brooks Brothers...navy with khaki and orange striped trim and gold buttons. I'll probably wear it with tan or khaki pants and a white shirt. Other than that, I have a blush pink blazer that I got from Talbots last August and only wore a few times before I got into my more wintery things. It was sold as a transitional piece but I think it will be great for spring/summer. One thing I love about our distinct seasons is that my out of season clothes seem brand new when I take them out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446097 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 18:35:55 +0000 Diana 1446097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't bought much in the last couple of&nbsp; months.&nbsp; Definitely nothing springlike.&nbsp; This seems to happen every year.&nbsp; At this point I'm just excited to wear some footwear that is not my Sorels or my Blondos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446094 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 18:28:42 +0000 Ginkgo 1446094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm rejoicing over a flowered shirt from the Loft -- am even pulling it out of the closet and stroking it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446091 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 18:20:26 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1446091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got some 'spring refresher' options coming this week, from the Nordstrom sale and the Violeta end-of-season sale. I'm hoping a few of them will work, but if they don't I'm not planning on shopping any more until after Easter. </p> <p>I've already pulled out the spring bin and put up the 'seriously winter' clothes since it's getting warmer here. But I was the same size last spring as I am right now, or ish - it's been a year since the bulk of my weight loss - so I don't have any more excuses to buy tons and tons of stuff. </p> <p>I wanted to snag a pair of floral print sneakers but the ones I was eyeing at Nordstrom have sold out in my size. Maybe they'll pop back or I'll find another option later in the spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446069 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:16:51 +0000 unfrumped 1446069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only a new fine-gauge wool scarf in lighter spring colors!</p> <p>Seriously, I'm in more of an close evaluation/wardrobe review mode.<br />The key thing&nbsp;is what will be my go-to 2-3&nbsp;&nbsp; spring-to-summer pants outfit silhouettes--what&nbsp;shape and styles&nbsp;with what footwear and tops--for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446061 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 17:07:36 +0000 doubleh 1446061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am way behind everyone here. &nbsp;While I won't say "excited", I am not bored yet with my winter clothes (winter came late to VA, but yes, I'm about done with it.) &nbsp;Nothing is super-inspiring yet, but I do think some of the floral pumps look fun. &nbsp;I also have a pair of snakeskin vans I'm looking forward to busting out. &nbsp;I guess I do look forward to saying goodbye to heavy socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-spring-purchases-are-you-most-excited-about#post-1446036 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:37:18 +0000 Karie 1446036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only two purchases for me, and I am anxious to wear them both (I'm anxious to wear anything that doesn't involve having to wear thermal underwear underneath)!
