I agree that new running shoes need to be a top priority if you are really running in them! I switch between two identical pairs to make mine last a bit longer, but I still replace them every year. But my supination also means that my shoes wear very unevenly (along the outer edges) very quickly, so I think I am harder on mine than many people are. </p> <p>I just did a bit of inventory while putting laundry away the other day. I've refreshed my sock and underwear drawers -- got rid of everything stretched out, worn out, etc., and bought a couple of new replacements. Maybe a new bra later this year (again, I have a couple of duplicates that I rotate wear, so they last longer). I even just cleaned out my winter hat, scarf, and glove collections too. More there than I need! So I can't think of anything I really need or want in the coming months, except for a new pair of running/workout capris (I left my oldest pair with the hole in the knee to wear at the ranch in TX). Maybe when the weather warms back up and I get back on the bike, I'll spring for a new pair of bicycling cleats too -- my old ones are getting pretty beat up. </p> <p>Feeling happy with my wardrobe at the moment, so I think the coming months will see me editing more and buying less. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016/page/2#post-1597825 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 03:28:47 +0000 Suz 1597825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a well thought out list, Anne. And I <b>do</b> hope you get those running shoes pronto!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a slowly developing list. It always evolves as the year progresses.&nbsp;</p> <p>Right now I am looking for new snow boots. I may be out of luck, in which case I have to pray for a low-snow winter. I had to donate my old ones due to fit issues.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would also like a structured, somewhat dressy bag. It's a bit of a HEWI. I have very dressy clutches (inherited from my mother and MIL) and totes and backpacks which suit my normal days. But I would like something suitable for times I am going out but don't need my huge tote.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would like to find a bright parka. This is also a HEWI (fit issues) and I am not holding my breath for it. If I don't find it this year, I won't freeze. My current parka is not worn out and I want a new one as a supplement, not to replace.&nbsp;</p> <p>By summer, I also need a strapless bra. A HEWI. I tried the Calvin Klein ones that was recommended in your other thread, Anne,it didn't work for me -- but I may try it again, just in case. It was close -- just more "bump up" padding than I prefer. I rejected it early in my (so far fruitless) search. Had I known how difficult the search might be, I might have accepted it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not entirely sure what else I'll be looking for. I may be retiring some knitwear and if I see something great to replace it with, I might pick it up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016/page/2#post-1597821 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 03:13:59 +0000 Windchime 1597821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color is on my list! I've been in a wardrobe building phase for a couple years and have been focused on neutrals--blacks, greys, navys-- and now I'm craving color. Specifically, I'll be looking for pencil skirts, pants, and jeans in red, olive, and burgundy to mix with all that black, grey, and navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016/page/2#post-1597776 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 23:50:42 +0000 Anonymous 1597776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, you have a great list!&nbsp; I wish I were that good of a planner-aheader.&nbsp; </p> <p>I've been hearing that bare shoulders will be a thing for the year ahead, so I'm going to look for things that might work that into my wardrobe.&nbsp; I'm kind of excited, because when I show my shoulders I look a lot more "balanced," since I'm a pear shape.&nbsp; I know it's kind of chilly to think about this now if you're in the northern hemisphere, but nonetheless, my antennae are up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016/page/2#post-1597775 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 23:36:37 +0000 puppycat 1597775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This year I'm really quite good to go in almost every category. I had two things I was looking for, but found stopgap versions I can use until I locate a really good replacement.&nbsp; I was planning to purchase a knee length down puffer coat for winter, and was lucky to find a decent secondhand one just before Christmas that will see me through this year, at least (might shop for a higher quality one in spring when they go on sale).&nbsp; I was also looking for mid-calf low heel boots that will work with skinny jeans and was willing to spend $ for quality, but instead I found an inexpensive pair that will let me try out the trend before I commit.&nbsp; <br />I'm still looking for a thin-gauge, stretchy cashmere turtleneck I can wear under crew neck sweaters (I'm always cold...and I live in Southern California, go figure!) I am also looking for shoes for travel that are comfortable for lots of walking but look nicer than athletic shoes AND match all-black outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016/page/2#post-1597773 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 23:13:10 +0000 Susie 1597773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm currently shopping for jeans and a black satchel but other than that I don't need anything. </p> <p>With the late start to cold weather this year, I have winter pieces that I haven't even worn yet and I'm happily wearing favorite pieces.</p> <p>When it's time to start thinking about spring and summer, dresses and dressier tops are usually on my wish list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016/page/2#post-1597763 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 22:11:19 +0000 Bonnie 1597763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need "support acts" for three items: black blazer style vest, brown and white houndstooth riding jacket, and brown and black plaid skinny pants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016/page/2#post-1597659 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 16:30:12 +0000 Anonymous 1597659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Echo</b> -- I have two pair of Ugg boots (black and grey). &nbsp;I do wear them to work and they are incredibly comfortable. &nbsp;The one thing you might want to consider is if your feet will overheat during the day. &nbsp;I found that although comfortable, by mid-day, they were just too hot to wear. &nbsp;</p> <p>I would love a pink pair with bows, but I just cannot rationalize a third pair. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016#post-1597574 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 06:52:31 +0000 Echo 1597574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have just started a new job in September, so I am always aware of what I am able to wear to work and what I am not. Generally speaking, if I cannot wear it to work (at an elementary/middle school), I no longer buy it. So overall I have become much more practical in my wardrobe. As for what I need to buy in 2016? I hang my head in shame and say that I have plenty to wear, yet I am sure I will purchase more. Recently, my sister gave me a gift card to Nordies's and they are having sale on Ugg boots (yes, I know the horror of wearing them for anything other than outdoor wear). I have ordered 3 pairs to see which suits me best, and to see if maybe, just maybe, I can wear such a comfortable pair of footwear to work.&nbsp;</p> <p>I SHOULD need a strapless bra, but overall I try not to purchase items with which I need to wear a strapless bra... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016#post-1597561 Fri, 01 Jan 2016 04:42:25 +0000 Anonymous 1597561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will be a surprise to me.

That's what my list was - stuff I hadn't bought off the running list yet.</p> <p>Khards wrote&nbsp;&nbsp;"you don't run in your running shoes do you? because 6 years is way to old----the soles are not made to last that long if you are actually using them as athletic shoes. "</p> <p>Sadly I do run in them, and cycle and go to the gym. I don't wear them to lounge in though. I was pretty sure that they needed replacement which is why they are on the list for 2016. This year I replaced my knee high black boots, and I can't manage too many expensive shoe purchases at once.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-the-shopping-list-for-2016#post-1597205 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 00:41:07 +0000 Carla 1597205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer/hot weather items.
