I still need solid colored sneakers and cognac boots, new bras and undies. From my spring/summer seasonal six shopping list I'm still looking for a shirt dress and striped knit blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1073371 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 21:25:37 +0000 minimalist 1073371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ cinnamon fern, I'm hoping to attain healthy minimalism, which to me means having enough. Current status is inadequate self-care, in some sense. I'm frustrated with the challenge of figuring out my style for where I am now geographically and in life; the only clothing I know how to shop for is suits and athletic wear, and these days neither of those apply. The budget is there but the skills for finding clothes I want are not.</p> <p>On the plus side, I've been venturing into stores and trying things on, without judging them much on the hanger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1073324 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 20:54:33 +0000 Carla 1073324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wardrobe is in a very good place, with high happiness factor on a pretty much daily basis. I do have a few items on my shopping list for my big trip to Toronto this coming weekend. </p> <p>Tops - 2 or 3 patterned or blush pink<br /> Pashmina type scarves - 2 (one navy paisley, one rust\ cognac coloured)<br /> Booties in a leopard or snakeskin pattern<br /> Black classic pointy toe pump<br /> Colour block bag, black, cognac, and some other colour(s).<br /> Cognac or leopard belt<br /> Dressy but warm mitts </p> <p>I would also like to start assembling two new capsules...'winter whites' and 'mix and match dressy occasion.' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1073011 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 15:08:47 +0000 Mo 1073011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need another pair of shorts, preferably black 4" inseam city shorts. &nbsp;<br />I also need a straight casual skirt with pockets. &nbsp;Again, preferably black but maybe denim or white if the right one came around. &nbsp;This would be to replace the hole created when I purged my denim mini and black cargo skirt upon arrival in FL this year (both too short now).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072973 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 13:59:29 +0000 cinnamon fern 1072973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Amy, you really are a minimalist. &nbsp;No skirts, no pants, just three pairs of jeans? &nbsp;One scarf, one bag?</p> <p>My needs: &nbsp;tall black boots (replacement), a work dress, blonde booties, an A line skirt, a red sweater. &nbsp;Need being relative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072835 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 04:58:22 +0000 minimalist 1072835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A coat. Am so patient and perfectionist in my search for single-breasted trench that I went through last winter with layers and an oversized semi-weatherproof hoodie.</p> <p>Clog boot, or other ankle-boot support-equivalent of Sanitas, not wood, for near-daily wear.</p> <p>Scarves, for warmth. Have one, black, synthetic. Ugh. BF says it's a matter of choosing fabric, size and edge finish, or a little more work for infinity-style jersey scarves.</p> <p>Bag. Grey canvas swag bag is giving up ghost. Like Goyard's new(ish) grey Sac Hardy, but seriously, that's not happening until I've figured out clothing. Combing eBay for a vintage LT or similar no-longer-it-bag that's cycling-friendly and large enough to hold bentos, noise-canceling headphones, thermos and pullover in addition to standard tech gear.</p> <p>Pants, like Parsley said. Have 3 pairs of jeans, period. Want black or charcoal casual, unfortunately can't remember Italian brand that used to fit perfectly. </p> <p>Opaque black tights, to wear with dress boots I have ... when I eventually get a skirt. </p> <p>So sure, let's put a skirt on the list. But no point, without a coat. </p> <p>Probably other things, but I was at wonderwoman hairdresser's yesterday so today I feel fab even in old, barely-adequate clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072807 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 04:32:52 +0000 Parsley 1072807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got things reasonably under control for this winter except for pants, and I'm in rather dire need of something other than jeans that <u>fits</u>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072802 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 04:27:31 +0000 KeepTheKey 1072802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can honestly say I don't have any wardrobe holes!

I'd like a long top of some sort, too (tunic, hi/low, other?). Tall brown boots would be nice but I'm not looking for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072659 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 02:07:32 +0000 Anonymous 1072659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black dressy boots ( knee high to booties, as long as they fit narrow calves or ankles). I live in a rather mild winter area and can't justify spending over $300 for them. They need to look good with dresses and skirts.<br /> I also have a hole for a great red suit, something I've been looking for for years. It's a want rather than a need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072649 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 01:55:40 +0000 Sveta 1072649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>According to Angie I still need black booties... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072588 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 01:07:57 +0000 Aquamarine 1072588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tops...either lightweight knitwear or non-button down wovens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072565 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:48:12 +0000 Windchime 1072565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good jeans that are long enough.</p> <p>Mittens, hat, scarf which look nice AND keep me warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072550 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 00:35:38 +0000 tammyw 1072550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely missing some things I want! I have a hard time finding what I want though, as I'm really picky about quality.</p> <p>1. Bootcut jeans (mine from last year are a wee bit tight due to extra 5 pounds). Hoping I can find some favorites at Nordstrom sale.<br />Especially love this wide leg style from a couple years ago: <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/379850549790665812/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/379850549790665812/</a></p> <p>2. A few tunics to wear with leggings and skinnies. Not finding much I love this year.</p> <p>3. A tan cardigan to wear with black<br />Inspired by: <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/379850549792421587/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/379850549792421587/</a> and <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/379850549792416495/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/379850549792416495/</a></p> <p>4.

I'm drawn to suede. I want to wear them with skinny jeans, ponte pants, and dresses and skirts. They're definitely at the top of my wish list.<br />I also want some mid-heeled pumps or heeled oxfords to "dress up" jeans outfits.<br />I am also eyeing other things, of course, like sweaters, accessories, etc. I would LOVE a faux leather moto jacket in blush, and a bright pea coat. But I live in a mild climate, so those last two are not as high on the priority list.</p> <p>Marlene, do you have a Costco near you? I got some CK black ponte skinnies a while back, and they also came in gray and brown. It might be worth checking to see if your Costco still has some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072401 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:56:16 +0000 Marlene 1072401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the lookout for some gray ponte skinnies.&nbsp; The challenge is that I am not finding gray.&nbsp; Its all black and/or mixed color and/or mixed media of some sort.&nbsp; I just want plain.&nbsp; </p> <p>And also some straight leg jeans.&nbsp; But I hate jean shopping so much that I am avoiding it at all costs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072378 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:34:54 +0000 D'Ellen 1072378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I don't *need* anything (for years and years, probably) - but I would buy, if I found:&nbsp; bronze booties that&nbsp;can be worn&nbsp;with both pants and skirts, and a Chanel-esque tweed jacket if the price was right.&nbsp; And unfortunately I'll be on the hunt for a go-with-everything winter handbag since the one I recently purchased has had a failure where one of the handles is attached.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm&nbsp;intending to return it, but it was purchased at a local boutique that only&nbsp;ever&nbsp;carries one&nbsp;of accessory-type items, so a like-kind&nbsp;exchange won't be possible.&nbsp; Too bad,&nbsp;'cause I love the bag.&nbsp; :-(&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072371 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:18:43 +0000 Liz A. 1072371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could really use a warm winter coat that is not wool and not a puffer... Must be presentable for work and possibly nicer occasions. I would also like a semi dressy tall black boot, but this can wait. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072370 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:14:32 +0000 carter 1072370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *need* a brown leather jacket...probably a cognac color. I am taking my black boots I love to consignment on Monday because the skinny high heel really doesn't suit my work life or toe issues, so I need to replace those. I need a pair of chocolate mid-heel pumps. A black, fitted ponte dress would be a great addition. A couple interesting pullover sweaters would also be great if I find something that strikes me. If I find some with a great fit, I would also love a couple slim-fit straight leg cords...maybe a chocolate and a fun color. I DO NOT need anymore cardigans, bootleg cords, button downs or ankle pants. I may have to tatoo that last part on my forehead! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072364 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:59:47 +0000 Anonymous 1072364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bras i need to replace. Maybe one more sweater or a cardi. Wool socks.</p> <p>I do not need Ts or jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-wardrobe-holes-do-you-still-have-for-fallwinter#post-1072359 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:51:42 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1072359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost titled this "what do you need?" but need/want is so relative! It's interesting reading everyone's shopping recap posts, but I'm not so organized with keeping track of what I bought. I really should; it'd be interesting. Anyway, is there something you're still looking for for fall or winter? (Or spring/summer!)</p> <p>I would like to find a leather or faux leather jacket. I've been looking, but nothing has been perfect yet. </p> <p>I need to replace my black tall boots as they're stretched to my former calf size and are slouchy now. I also desperately need to get some brown boots, because my last pair self-destructed last winter and I still haven't found anything new. I am still looking for some oxfords, but I've been looking for oxfords for over a year now!</p> <p>Regular clothes-wise, I am in pretty good shape; pulled out the winter sweaters the other day and have enough, but I could use some cardigans in brighter colors, everything is navy and cream and black, which is useful but not that fun. I need to get some new tights, ala my post the other day, and I could use some more new bras in my current size. </p> <p>I absolutely do not need any more: jeans, cords, dress pants, blazers, layering knit tops, or out-of-season deals on summer wear. </p>
