I was even more in love with a Proenza Schouler version last year (twice as expensive, sigh). Even though I would probably&nbsp;never wear white heels...</p> <p>I've also thought of trying J Jill's shoes because they look comfortable. This is closer to a flat than a low heel but along the same lines:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jjill.com/jjillonline/product/itempage.aspx?BID=465441847&amp;rPFID=104&amp;item=KH082C&amp;h=A&amp;sk=A">http://www.jjill.com/jjillonli.....&#038;sk=A</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233801 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 05:52:42 +0000 Gigi 1233801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still hunting for a HEWI: a leather (maybe faux) moto jacket.</p> <p>Crop tops; halter-neck top.</p> <p>I am also on the lookout for light-colored tops. Before YLF, I was very unimaginative with my tops and always bought white because it went with all of my bottoms (OK, I had only about 7 bottoms anyway pre-YLF!). So when I became interested in dressing better, I went overboard and bought all kinds of dark-colored tops. Now I am in a rut and need lighter-colored ones.</p> <p>Clothes in spring colors. Almost all my colors are the deeper, richer fall and winter ones.</p> <p>Metallic silver footwear. Whether bootie, sandal, or flat, I do not know. This is my first spring while on YLF, so I'm just kind of wearing my wardrobe and waiting to see what type of silver footwear would be the most versatile with my (budding) spring wardrobe.</p> <p>I am making a bit of progress...I ordered some blush shimmer jeans from White House Black Market, and those will be arriving next week. I think I got the last one in my size and short inseam (!). I also ordered some crop tops from ASOS that will be arriving soon.</p> <p>As far as purchases already made, I bought a white linen-cotton blend cardi from Nordie's (I desperately needed a very lightweight, plain white cardi), a coral cardi (again, needed a topper in a spring color), a pair of lavender (orchid?) ankle pants from BR (wanted a pair of ankle pants in a spring color), two faux leather skater skirts (had been wanting for a while), and a leather pencil skirt (ditto). Gosh, I guess I've bought more than I thought this year...yikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233800 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 05:42:19 +0000 Marley 1233800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm feeling pretty unenthused at the 2014 offerings right now.&nbsp; To me, it just feels like more of the same from spring/summer 2013.&nbsp; I really cannot think of any thing I am really wanting - one thing that I need though, is a new one-piece swimsuit - actually probably 2 one-piece swimsuits - one for swimming laps, and one for pool parties.&nbsp; I'm set on bikinis.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;As long as I stay in So Cal for the summer my warm weather wardrobe is covered.&nbsp; However, if I go back to the Midwest to visit family and friends, I know that I will have a need for cooler tops and bottoms.&nbsp; Other than that - I'm in a very <i>non</i>-shopping phase - and I'm enjoying it, and taking advantage of all of the wardrobe items that I already have and love!</p> <p>Fall and winter are too far away for me to even be thinking about right now.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233777 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 05:01:28 +0000 AJ 1233777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>S/S Purchases so far</b>:<br />Navy espadrille wedges<br />black lace boxy top<br />chambray boxy top<br />white fine gauge sweater<br />blue and cream striped sweater<br />white straight leg jeans<br />back short sleeve woven asymmetrical tunic<br />silk-ish floral hi-low tee<br />grey statement necklace</p> <p><b>S/S shopping list</b>:<br />Print bermuda shorts<br />short sleeve hot weather tops<br />light/bright colored tube knit skirts<br />silver metallic shoe/sandals</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233776 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:59:54 +0000 rizamei 1233776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite purchase this year was a petite Banana Republic khaki trench at the local factory store. Every time I put it on it makes me happy.</p> <p>I'm looking for some nice pointy-toed low heels and flats. Finding ones that work on my feet has been a challenge, but I'm giving it a shot. I'm going to try on the <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/charles-david-bailey-pointy-toe-flat/3650361" rel="nofollow">Charles David Bailey</a> flat the Angie linked recently the next time I am at Nordstrom. I also have ordered the nude <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=558360032&amp;tid=brpl000001&amp;kwid=1&amp;ap=7&amp;sem=true&amp;mkwid=wT45W4TS_dc&amp;adid=Cebqhpg+Nqf&amp;pcrid=27249727316" rel="nofollow">Banana Republic Giah</a> heels with an old gift card I found forgotten in my wallet. (Score!)</p> <p>I'd also like to add a colorful silk blouse (maybe something from Boden), and need to refresh some basics - black work trousers soon, denim after that, and knee-high boots in the fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233733 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 03:03:52 +0000 Anonymous 1233733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been fun looking at everyone's list.&nbsp; Right now I'm focused on holes in my travel capsule.&nbsp; For spring/summer I would love to find a while/ivory sheath dress, white d'Orsay pointed toe low heels, and slip on casual sneakers.&nbsp; When the hot weather actually gets here , I will probably discover other holes.&nbsp; Our hot weather season is usually very long, so I will try to wear what I have until later in the season and refresh my wardrobe at sales.&nbsp; I am craving different colors like mid toned mint green, radiant orchid and lavender.&nbsp; I'd like to add more citron, cobalt&nbsp;and coral.<br />I will soon need new bras and hope to wait until NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233720 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 02:37:14 +0000 catgirl 1233720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many fun items here!&nbsp; </p> <p>Greyscale, I feel the same as you.&nbsp; Because trends seem to come and go so quickly, I worry about the possibility of perpetual discontent with things I truly love and want to wear.&nbsp; It all seems sped up and yet it's all neither in nor out.&nbsp; And that is a good thing, except that I feel like I'm standing in the eye of a hurricane sometimes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233709 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 02:15:15 +0000 Mo 1233709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did a fair bit of shopping at the starting gun of 2014 and snapped up a dozen things already. <br />&nbsp;<br />Left on my wish list:</p> <p>jumpsuit and/or romper<br />peeptoe or cutout booties<br />floaty white tank</p> <p>and for fall/winter-<br />blue anorak (maybe mixed media or leather sleeved)<br />wool overcoat in a bright color<br />cold shoulder tunic</p> <p>I'm a bit stumped at my to-be summer style, as it's just heating up and I'm not liking the looks of the options I have hanging there. &nbsp;I may wear them through this season and purge majorly before moving back home in fall.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233705 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 02:09:49 +0000 Greyscale 1233705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have gotten so hyper-aware of trends (subconsciously or consciously)&nbsp;that sometimes things I should be happy with seem a tiny bit off. This season's example: a few of you have Birkenstocks on your list. Last year when birks were coming back into style, and when I was living in Santa Cruz (hippie beach paradise), I bought Mephisto sandals that are very similar and have more arch support for me. But now I find myself really wanting the wide double straps of the classic&nbsp;Arizona instead of the thinner straps of the Mephistos. I need to chill out and recognize that the ones I have are still giving the same overall effect.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233293 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 16:15:46 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1233293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've already purchased most of the things on my list:<br />pastel full skirts (one knee length mint/cream, one midi length aqua)<br />light grey shoes (actually got silver metallic pumps)<br />light grey skirt (pencil)<br />light blue pants <br />white dress<br />tan&nbsp;pointy toe flats<br />smoking slippers</p> <p>Also purchaed quite a few things that were not on my list:<br />GAP tunics, gingham shirt, navy/green fit and flare dress, pink fit and flare dress.</p> <p>I'm thinking that I still need some flat sandals - have some in my Nordstroms cart by Born but haven't actually unpacked my summer shoes yet so best to wait and be sure I'm not forgetting something that I already have.</p> <p>Doing a ton of purging and am fortunate to have a similar sized co worker who buys my things when I'm tired of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list/page/2#post-1233120 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:51:02 +0000 Janet 1233120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've actually checked off quite a few things I wanted or had been searching for, and some I was not planning for. ;-)</p> <p>- I found my HEWI interesting black blazer while shopping with Angie and co. in Boston, PLUS the bonus long black jacket. Both have already been worn multiple times since then. This was a big score!</p> <p>- I am embracing the Gap flared jeans I bought as a trial return to flares, and am considering keeping the Love Story flares, even though the washes are very similar.</p> <p>- I found a replacement for my old nude wedge sandals that were an increasingly uninspiring default in summer when I wanted a casual low contrast shoe with a heel. </p> <p>-I've freshened up my summer top collection with a couple of nice silk patterned tanks, courtesy of Club Monaco and Tahari. Again, those pieces are already getting worn!</p> <p>- I found a navy sleeveless midi length dress (actually a high-low hem that might be midi-to-maxi on most women) a few days ago in Marshalls that may be a valuable addition to my summer wardrobe, since I'm pretty dependent on dresses in summer to stay cool yet look polished. I'm still on the lookout for more, since I purged about half a dozen summer dresses from my collection.</p> <p>I am now considering adding a rash guard to my swim capsule, and perhaps adding another pair (or two) of sandals to the summer footwear collection. Some of my old sandals are looking worse for the wear. There are a pair of blue LDTuttles that I love, but I'm also considering white, for a change of pace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list#post-1233119 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:50:06 +0000 Anonymous 1233119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it bad that I think I need <i>everything</i>? I haven't really looked at my summer clothes yet to remind myself what I have, but I have a feeling I'm going to find everything kind of blah and unsatisfying and dated.&nbsp;</p> <p>So far, I've bought: </p> <ul> <li>Indigo Marc Jacobs bag</li> <li>Rose gold pointy-toe flats</li> <li>Lightweight cardigans in black, off-white, and cobalt (the first two are kind of replacements for pilling&nbsp;older ones)</li> <li>A bunch of basic bottoms in ponte (black pencil skirt, charcoal pants, two pairs of black pants, one for heels and one for flats), but I'm not really counting them as "fun" spring shopping, since they were sort of spurred by a work need and they're so, well, basic</li> </ul> <p>I should probably concentrate on current-looking tops for now, since actually owning some versatile&nbsp;bottoms has reminded me that most of my tops have been hanging around for a while and look&nbsp;a little off, or are too blah to look okay unless they're super-layered. But I also want some new dresses. And most of the shoe trends I see.&nbsp;And maybe a denim jacket?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list#post-1233076 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:44:33 +0000 Ingunn 1233076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been shopping so much already that I'm set, I think. The last purchase I did was a new bikini. The old one was worn out last summer, so this is a necessity.&nbsp;</p> <p>My favorite spring purchases:<br />Ted Baker floral top<br />Danier satchel<br />Zara pleated skirt<br />H&amp;M boyfriend jeans<br />Adidas Gazelle sneakers<br />Vagabond metallic pumps<br />Birkenstock Arizona sandals</p> <p>I have a navy rainproof trench on order which I really need, too, because my other rain gear is non-functional. I hope it will be here soon.&nbsp;</p> <p>My stone&nbsp;Ecco sandals are worn down and need replacement, but I can do with what I already have, too. I would also like a new patterned sundress for summer wear, but frankly, I think I have too much as it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list#post-1233070 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:29:23 +0000 kkards 1233070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think i just crossed one item off my list: slip on sneakers</p> <p>still on the list<br />white belt<br />fisherman/hurrache type sandal<br />navy pumps (this will move to fall if i don't find exactly what I'm looking for)<br />updated black or white cardigan&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list#post-1233048 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 07:45:19 +0000 Robb 1233048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 loui vuuiton bag is the first preference of mine rest will decide in some time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-2014-style-wish-list#post-1232942 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 02:50:16 +0000 MsLuna 1232942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I was one of those people that needed a good working shoe wardrobe before establishing my style - turns out I wasn't. 2014 definitely marked a significant style shift for me though, since I got diagnosed with arthritis, bunions and heel spurs.
