Some close toed shoes suitable for walking in the rain would be great. We don't normally get much rain here, so it's throwing me for a loop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1274826 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 22:35:20 +0000 Lyn D. 1274826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting read for those of us with Summer way ahead in the dark distance.<br />I do have linen shorts and Birks. on my list already though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1274806 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 22:03:15 +0000 Susie 1274806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My update...I am keeping the navy linen track pants but the shoes have to go back. I might have found another one to try. (sigh, why are navy shoes so hard?)</p> <p>I mentioned on another post that I bought a white vest. I need to try it on with some things and decide if I will wear it enough to keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1274768 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 21:03:41 +0000 salt-sea 1274768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reporting back in case it's helpful for anyone else - I found the brown leather sandals I was looking for. I ended up with the Frye Carson T-strap sandals. Tried the Sam Edelman Gigi version but the sole was quite narrow and I wasn't crazy about the material. The Fryes, which I found at a fantastic price, are very well made and a true medium width, as well as flattering and comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1270192 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:39:41 +0000 Lisa 1270192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did my summer shopping a bit early this year, due to a warm weather trip with DH in May.&nbsp; That left me with no additional wardrobe holes right now.&nbsp; I'm trying to stay away from the stores because I do not want to tempt myself.&nbsp; But I would like to add a lighter wash denim jean.&nbsp; I don't need them, but I think they could be fun for summer since I'm not a big shorts, cropped trouser, skirt or dress gal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268925 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 04:29:12 +0000 DonnaF 1268925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep hoping that a white Kenneth Cole vest that I waited on for too long will come back in stock -- at its current sale price.&nbsp; It would make a nice work appropriate third piece for summer.</p> <p>I don't generally wear dresses, but there's casual sleeved linen one at Nordies online that I'd like to try -- but only if it is marked down.&nbsp; Otherwise, the CPW will run too high.</p> <p>I run cold, so I have to remember not to overbuy for hot weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268917 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 04:08:44 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1268917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for a decent pair of flat nude / brown sandals since last summer, and finally settled for a pair of brown wedge sandals instead. Unfortunately they're not as comfortable to walk in as I'd hoped. But I'm on SYC lockdown until July at the earliest so I'll just have to make do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268855 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 02:56:16 +0000 Susie 1268855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered a pair of navy linen track pants and a pair of navy shoes. If both of them work, I think I will be pretty satisfied for summer. If I happen upon a dress or two I would add them though that's not a real need.</p> <p>Then it will be time to think about NAS and boots and sweaters </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268847 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 02:48:59 +0000 Caro in Oz 1268847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer is over here but I have just bought, from Nordstroms,&nbsp;replacements for my workhorse grey summer sandals. Hope the new ones do as well as the old ones. They&nbsp;lasted me three summers but&nbsp;really&nbsp;need to go to shoe heaven </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268840 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 02:43:27 +0000 KerriS 1268840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoes! &nbsp;I am ashamed to say that I wore out a pair of black leather booties last summer because I just didn't take the time to find new flats or loafers that are work appropriate (closed toe, closed heel, low heel, comfortable). &nbsp;And a new dress and some cotton cardis to help with the wicked A/C at work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268779 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:54:01 +0000 Anonymous 1268779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Windchime -- basically, everything! I don't even have the excuse of wardrobe building because I have plenty of clothes. But I feel like I've barely started shopping for summer and a lot of my older stuff just seems tired.&nbsp;</p> <p>On the top of the list would be a few more dresses or versatile skirts&nbsp;for work. Also&nbsp;a pair or two of casual shorts or pants that I'd actually want to wear and a few casual dresses that don't look sloppy. And a few fluid tops that look good either alone or layered with a lightweight topper. And another lightweight topper or two&nbsp;so I'm not always wearing the same few or trying to make something iffy work, come to think of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268750 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:34:22 +0000 Carla 1268750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorted for this season, now that I've got my white jeans and Birk wannabes. Haven't had warm enough weather to break out most of the casual stuff, but lighter colours are getting worked into office outfits, and I'm eschewing closed toe shoes in favour of sandals. </p> <p>You wouldn't have to twist my arm too hard to fork out for a good quality white T or a white skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268731 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:15:43 +0000 Aquamarine 1268731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the hunt for black pointy toe flats or low wedges...they must be a soft leather with great arch support. I also have three orphaned skirts that I have had a heck of getting tops for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268724 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:10:43 +0000 Echo 1268724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would very much like some camouflage ankle pants (or even "track" pants), one more top and one summer dress.

I've never been a big fan of pastels but weirdly all of my summer dresses are, and I would like either some neutrals or darker colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268661 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 23:48:59 +0000 MRL 1268661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some more white/light color tops.<br />Maybe some flat sandals.<br />New khaki shorts.</p> <p>That's all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268654 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 23:27:48 +0000 lyn* 1268654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love frocks ...

Definite chomping at the bit for fall stuff&nbsp;this year. I think it is because our winter was not very winters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268600 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:39:14 +0000 Quietgirl 1268600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wind chime... I HEAR you. I was in that stage a year ago and there were too many items to buy in one month (or two). It sounds like you are building with foundation items ... way to go. Enjoy the process!</p> <p>My striped rash guard just arrived from Lands End. I am eyeing a pink Coach satchel but I don't need it. I just finished sewing a short pencil skirt and hope to finish the second in time for vacation. I think that is it for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268598 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:38:49 +0000 Mo 1268598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jewell, I love the shot of all your stuff together in the pic. &nbsp;Very cohesive. &nbsp;And plenty of visual interest to keep you going through the whole season and not getting bored midway. &nbsp;Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list/page/2#post-1268584 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:32:40 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1268584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing, I am completely set and hoping to stand strong to get two kids off to college and money for Ireland and two kid's bdays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list#post-1268578 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:29:36 +0000 Jewell 1268578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dare I say it? I think I'm finished buying for spring and summer. In fact, I finished in April. I've attached a pic of everything I've purchased since January, but I forgot my white jeans in the pic.&nbsp;A new swimsuit was not on my original shopping list, but I found a flattering one-piece at Old Navy while picking out new suits for the girls. Then I stumbled upon a matching hat at Target.</p> <p>I would like to replace the Bermuda shorts I recently purged, but I'm not actively searching for any. And last week I returned the blazer vest I got from Target, so I may or may not make another purchase to fill that spot. The plan was six items for spring and six for summer, so all in all I don't think I did too badly.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list#post-1268535 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:56:49 +0000 columbine(erin) 1268535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need some toppers and some interesting tank tops or sleeveless tops. I've been working on gathering a blue/white/navy capsule; I think I'm happy with it for now and would like to work on a very small red, black, and white one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list#post-1268531 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:54:32 +0000 Mo 1268531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I would love to see you in a jumpsuit! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list#post-1268527 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:53:37 +0000 Angie 1268527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waiting for some fun frocks, and perhaps a jumpsuit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list#post-1268526 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:53:20 +0000 Mo 1268526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, I have red peep toes I might be over. &nbsp;I'll message you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list#post-1268515 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:29:07 +0000 Windchime 1268515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear. In my wardrobe building stage, the shorter answer would be what's NOT on my list! Well, top of the list is black ankle pants in a tall length for work. Sadly, I fear they may be a hewi. After that, my next three summer wardrobe holes are white jeans (I know, can you believe it?), a short-sleeved white blouse, and white closed-toe shoes such as loafers or ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list#post-1268498 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:06:26 +0000 catgirl 1268498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Work pants! I just ordered a bunch of the Gap linen ones which are acceptable enough for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-left-on-your-summer-wish-list#post-1268494 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 21:03:21 +0000 JG 1268494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought bras, orthotics - friendly shoes, a jeans jacket, a white bag, a white tee, a print tee, a cognac bag, a scarf, blush capris, a lace top, 2 shirts, and a travel tote... I'm happy with my purchases but some still have tags on. I'd love to upgrade my swimsuit and my hot - weather exercise clothes but don't want to keep shopping so will try to make do. </p>
