I knew asking the question would define it for me! &nbsp;</p> <p>I have plenty of coats, but definitely think that is an important piece to have for the season and wish those that are looking for them the best of luck and hope when you find your statement pieces that you post them with that title , so I can make sure to take a look if my life is still crazy...</p> <p>I recently fell in love with ponchos, so capes are a close cousin in my book and ruanas &nbsp;as well..It just so happens that I found a great clearance deal and bought 3 colors of capes&nbsp;&nbsp;in Navy, Emerald and Burgundy, &nbsp;in hopes of keeping one and gifting the others... I also picked up a ruana. &nbsp; This is a new interest of mine, something I am embracing for the first time , so that makes sense as a statement piece for me...</p> <p>Could it really be that I am done before the season starts? &nbsp;Wouldn't that be a treat! &nbsp;I do know that mid season I will feel like I need something so perhaps I can continue reading and come up with what that will be...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1336181 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 19:48:02 +0000 cheryl 1336181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now you have me wondering. Maybe I already have mine. I have been wanting harness boots forever and finally got some&nbsp;but they probably won't get much wear until fall. Other than that I don't have anything in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1336111 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 18:32:32 +0000 Tessitura 1336111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love statement pieces way too much.&nbsp; The pieces I'm currently wishing for:</p> <p>&gt; cognac knee boots.&nbsp; I cannot get over how much I love this neutral with black and grey (and navy, and burgundy, and chocolate,<br /> and forest green...).&nbsp; Since I have tons of black and charcoal in my<br /> autumn/winter wardrobe, cognac boots will brighten it up without<br /> intimidating me with color.&nbsp; <br />&gt; a knee-length vest.&nbsp; There was a<br /> St. John version that made me drool last season, and I think they've<br /> refreshed the look.&nbsp; Asos had one, apparently, but it's out of stock.&nbsp;<br /> (I'm attaching some examples).&nbsp; <br />&gt; capes.&nbsp; I love capes, ruanas, wraps, and anything that helps me be less cold when transitioning toward winter.&nbsp; <br />&gt;<br /> knee- or thigh-length jackets... these are far more flattering on me<br /> than the conventional lengths, plus, they're warmer... are we sensing a theme? ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335970 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 16:15:38 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1335970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already bought a Halogen black leather jacket with the shimmery finish.&nbsp; But today I saw this Elizabeth and James plaid jacket - drooling!&nbsp; I may be more realistic with my budget and get the plaid Boden dress or this skirt that is supposed to be coming to Old Navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335928 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 15:17:45 +0000 Susie 1335928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure that I added statement pieces per se, but I feel really good about the things I've added to my fall wardrobe- booties in black, caramel and brown, several sweaters including one in fuchsia (which is my wildcard!), a couple of tube skirts, waxed skinnies, and black/bronze velveteen skinnies. If I keep the backpack I ordered, that will be my trend item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335921 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 15:04:43 +0000 Anonymous 1335921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like two new pairs of boots to replace ones I purged, and maybe a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335919 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 15:01:13 +0000 Elly 1335919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RP-- those boots look amazing. I have a little girl crush. </p> <p></p> <p>I think style-statement-wise my wishes are going to be shoes and accessories. I would love to add 1-2&nbsp;new pair of boots, 1-2 belts, a scarf, a watch, and maybe a new pair of earrings or necklace. I want a rugged-but-put-together world traveler with an edge vibe. </p> <p>From the practical side, I need to increase my bottom count by 2-3 and add some sweaters to the wardrobe--- plus a couple of underlayers and maybe a blouse or two. I want them to feed into my style direction by mainly going for new silhouettes and visiting the "trendy" for fall ink blue, deep red, and forest green color scheme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335891 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:46:12 +0000 always trying 1335891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cognac tall boots and a pair of dark colors patterned wide leg pants.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335877 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:34:33 +0000 Zibbets 1335877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A tweedy wool, perhaps largeish plaid, blazer/jacket with a tie belt and lapel collar. I had one and loved it so much. I even paid nearly the purchase price to have moth holes repaired one time. When the moths got it again, I threw it away and cried a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335868 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 14:27:13 +0000 Angie 1335868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cognac Prada Booties.

I just don't know what it will be. So I think I am right where you are. I need a coat, and I was going to get this Zara coat, and I still may, I don't know&nbsp; ... but I have decided <b>not</b> to use my birthday gift for it. Instead, I am taking DH to this great boutique in Boston and I'm just going to walk in and hope something speaks to me in a statement-y sort of way. I have no idea what it will be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335820 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:47:07 +0000 citygirldc 1335820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 things:<br />1. a winter coat<br />2. gray leather jacket<br />3. fun booties</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335714 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 08:57:17 +0000 RB 1335714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've recently fulfilled my wish for a statement piece (for the tail end of winter and spring)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.katesylvester.com/estore/style/s14-s705.aspx">http://shop.katesylvester.com/.....-s705.aspx</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-statement-piece-are-you-wishing-for-fallwinter#post-1335703 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 07:27:14 +0000 Deb 1335703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't think of anything I'd want more than some absolutely fabulous Italian boots/ booties.

I think a lot of us have this on our mind as the season is about to change. I am thinking of three different statement pieces, all to be worn at different times of course.</p> <p>1. A bold sweater with oversized collar<br />2. A pair of tights with zany patterns on them<br />3. A pair of knee high boots that stand out </p> <p></p> <p>What about you Tracy?

How about my YLF friends jumping in with what Statement Piece they've already purchased or are still dreaming and looking towards getting? &nbsp;<br />Looking forward to your answers and inspiration!&nbsp; </p>
