They need to be high-quality, sleek (so, fitted at the ankle and calf--my calves are between 14 and 141/2 inches, but I wear a size 11, so finding the right narrowness is proving to be impossible), with a wedge or chunk heel that is 2 inches. Plus, I don't want to pay $400-$600. I will resume the search next fall, with renewed vigor and determination :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258794 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 13:15:15 +0000 Marigold 258794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are we making lists for Santa? No? Oh well... Anyway, there goes:<br /> 1. most important - cognac/chestnut knee high boots. I'd love for them to be adjustable because of those thin calves of mine.. Almost decided on the Vince Camuto Fivvy (which I'm going to suggest to my hubby lol)<br /> 2. cropped black tuxedo jacket (the hitch - can't be too dressy, or too shiny, it's for dressing up skinnies. Saw a cute one in InStyle that will hit Target on the 17th so I'll keep my eyes open)<br /> 3. silver/ceramic mix watch.<br /> and a lot other things that I need to seriously start noting down as my wardrobe has serious holes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258793 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 13:00:45 +0000 Queen Mum 258793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for after SYC....<br /> a casual winter dress<br /> a couple of sweaters<br /> some long sleeve blouses<br /> brown suede booties<br /> tall cognac boots</p> <p>then I should be good until spring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258792 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 12:58:25 +0000 Anonymous 258792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving all of the lists...<br /> Una, once I'm done getting rid of the 101 returns I have at home, I'll looking into the down jackets you posted! Thank you for the recommendation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258749 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 05:30:25 +0000 cloud9 258749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for:<br /> - a nice hooded peacoat, medium weight, not wool as i'im becoming more allergic.<br /> - a sheath LBD, or other fab sheath dress<br /> - a pair of comfy black flats, but with 1 inch heel/wedge<br /> - a nice bag (I like the new Coach one which is $349... ), but i don't really even carry a bag!<br /> - a tweed jacket<br /> - a tweed pencil skirt<br /> - a mid width black belt with a fun buckle for dresses<br /> - dress pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258738 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 05:02:37 +0000 catgirl 258738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley, I'm adding your list to my list! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258714 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 04:06:08 +0000 Sveta 258714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Surprisingly basics are on the top of my list: neutral turtlenecks and simple tops to layer under jackets and cardigans. Sounds simple, right? but there is a BUT - they need to be LONG so I can wear them with skinnies and leans. I found one black knit short sleeved top last weekend but I need more...<br /> The rest of the list:<br /> - cream moto jacket - very cropped to wear with dresses;<br /> - BF cardigan(s) in deep jewel colors. I may consider dark grey or brown but not black.<br /> - red pumps with 2 - 2.5" heels<br /> - shorter puffer to wear with pants and jeans (not black!)<br /> - satchel bag in a nice color<br /> - some long sweaters to wear with skinnies.<br /> Other than that I do not need anything now...however it does not mean that I would not want anything if the right item comes along </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258703 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 03:50:54 +0000 MNsara 258703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason, I have a red pencil skirt in mind although I know this is NOT what I would usually wear, so it has to be *just* right for me to fall for it and then let it hang in my closet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258655 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 02:57:20 +0000 Mac 258655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. at least one long-sleeved, fitted black top that I can wear as a layering piece underneath all sorts of other tops. YLF has done a wonderful job of reminding me how great layering can be, how much interest it can add to an outfit, and that I could use the extra warmth in the winter.</p> <p>2. Winter tights. Mentioned in another post</p> <p>3. More wide belts. Belts are one of my favourite - if not my favourite - accessories. I'm not a huge jewellery or scarf girl and chunky leather belts often add much-needed punctuation to my outfits. </p> <p>4. A cross-body bag or other practical, super comfy bag to wear while running errands around town. I have lots of bags that are pretty but leave me achey by the end of the day.</p> <p>5. A sexy clutch. I think that, especially for evening, a clutch can be elegant in the way that a handled bag cannot. Fingers crossed that the stingray midnight blue and black clutch I ordered from Amazon will fit the bill.</p> <p>6. Blazers. All kinds, colours and fabrics. </p> <p>7. Attractive-enough boots that can be worn in the snow. I do own pretty boots that I can wear on crisp, dry winter days but when it's snowys - before the sidewalks are shovelled and when the path from my house to my garage are mid-calf deep - I'd like an option that didn't make me look like a Sasquatch.</p> <p>8. A few somewhat fitted sweaters that have the length to cover my looooong torso.</p> <p>NO MORE WINTER COATS! I do love coats and so own entirely too many. Must stop buying them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258654 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 02:55:25 +0000 Marley 258654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm . . . I'm not really in need of anything, but am keeping my eye out for the following items (but not really actively looking for them!)</p> <p>Black moto boots<br /> Black dressy knee-high boots<br /> Metallic purse (preferably in pewter)<br /> Nude heels<br /> Layering thin long-sleeved tees in - navy, white and black<br /> Either a jacket or a skirt in black and white or black and gray herringbone<br /> Wide taupe belt<br /> Black or Navy tuxedo jacket<br /> Black and white striped top - to dress up or down<br /> Black leather gloves<br /> Long strand of black pearls<br /> Watch with a purple band<br /> White abstract patterned handbag<br /> Red pencil skirt<br /> Asymetrical hemmed skirt<br /> Colorful Cashmere scarf to wear with my teal coat<br /> Pewter metallic oxfords<br /> Black tuxedo trousers<br /> Vest - probably in black<br /> Animal print pumps</p> <p>Good grief! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258641 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 02:42:10 +0000 Tricia 258641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so close to having exactly what I need for a ton of great outfits, but I do have a couple of things I want:</p> <p>1- camel-colored cardigan - must be long (boyfriend-ish) and V-necked.<br /> 2 - white blouse, short sleeves, vintage or vintage-y - not a regular button down, but not too frothy and lacey.<br /> 3- Medium brown/cognac pumps. I have my eye on a particular pair because I think Santa is bringing me a gift cert to John Fluevog: <a href="http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w%5B0%5D=gender%3Awomen&#038;w%5B1%5D=attribute%3AShoe&#038;p=14&#038;pp=1&#038;view=detail&#038;colourID=2796" rel="nofollow">http://www.fluevog.com/code/?w.....ourID=2796</a>. They're awfully $$ though...maybe they'll go on sale...<br /> 4. Square scarves, not sheer, no larger than 24x24. Do you know how hard that is to find???</p> <p>Then for the summer, I want some floral dresses and these: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/bc-footwear-intergalactic-brown" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/bc-footw.....ctic-brown</a></p> <p>I also need a pair of bootcut jeans hemmed for flats - I may just buy another pair of Gap Perfect Boot.</p> <p>And then I'm done and I will never need to buy clothes again. Wait...what are you laughing at? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258621 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 02:25:09 +0000 ticksgirl 258621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything. Although I *do* have killer cognac boots, so it's not all bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258600 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 02:11:20 +0000 catgirl 258600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, it's fun to look through these. Cognac boots come up a lot! I am trying to remember some of these in case I spot something for one of you in my quest...</p> <p>Mo, I think we need to do a mass mailing to all husbands/BFs/SOs... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258537 Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:58:40 +0000 Aida 258537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be afraid to make a list, so I'll generalize: ANYthing that's not a basic (the bulk of my closet is basics). Probably won't be able to pick up much until the new year though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258495 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 23:59:01 +0000 Beth 258495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where to start?</p> <p>1. A cream wool double-breasted coat. I love the one Kate Middleton wears but Angie's is even better.<br /> 2. Narrow shaft heeled black boots (yes, still looking)<br /> 3. Cream flats or low wedges<br /> 4. Dark gray jeans<br /> 5. Cream fine-gauge sweater<br /> 6. Flat black boots<br /> 7. Wool scarves </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258482 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 23:19:35 +0000 Kate 258482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my list:</p> <p>brown shift dress<br /> army green v-neck cardigan<br /> long sleeved brown v neck<br /> mustard scarf<br /> tan handbag<br /> brown tank (not ribbed)<br /> tan or khaki cropped jacket (maybe)<br /> tan heels (maybe)</p> <p>Luckily none of them are active searches right now, they're all wants but not needs. I just keep a list going so that I can be more focused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258479 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 23:07:14 +0000 Kristine 258479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm looking for:</p> <p>Some dressy flat ankle boots, probably in a dark neutral, for wearing to work. I have one pair of ankle boots but they're lighter colored and more casual. Even so, I've been wearing them to death! They work so nicely for winter.</p> <p>A velvet jacket of some sort. I found one on Ebay but it's not quite right. So I might alter it or keep looking. </p> <p>A wool dress coat at a bargain basement price. Either that or it's my puffer for the rest of the winter. </p> <p>Auburn, have you tried the camel coat at the Gap? I tried it on last Friday. It was really soft and had an interesting collar. I think it did have big buttons though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258477 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 23:05:50 +0000 chewyspaghetti 258477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At the moment- anything warm:<br /> cognac knee high boots<br /> black ponte knit pants<br /> tunics/sweater dresses<br /> and also another handbag </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258475 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 23:04:03 +0000 Mo 258475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'll be sorry you asked ;)</p> <p>A particular Custo Barcelona shirt I didn't buy a few years back but I see in other sizes every now and then </p> <p>black fine knit ribbed turtleneck</p> <p>cognac or grey mid heeled tall boots</p> <p>straight leg cords grey or wine color</p> <p>fancy top - either ruffle front chiffon or sequins</p> <p>tunic</p> <p>long lariat necklace</p> <p>everyday crossbody bag - toss up btwn fossil Sutter and Baggallini Sydney</p> <p>Boy, I should somehow leave this link open for the BF since xmas is coming around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258471 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:48:16 +0000 puffenstuff 258471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my searchlist I have:</p> <p>Red Handbag<br /> Tan point toed low vamp oxfords (VERY hard to find)<br /> Swishy summer skirts - either khaki or coral<br /> Silver statement necklace<br /> Beaded summer sandals or wedges<br /> Silk short sleeve summer tops in bright prints</p> <p>Hmm I'm more set than I thought I was </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258469 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:34:14 +0000 catgirl 258469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, the skirts are all multi-color, but navy is the common thread. I'm hoping to find one or two nice sweater tops that can be switched around. It's so easy for me to pick up skirts, and so HARD to find tops I like!

A pair of camel colored booties. They have to the right shade (camel or nude, not cognac or brown), sleek and ideally not sky high. Like these, but ideally cheaper and with a lower heel:<br /> <a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446371058&#038;FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492709271&#038;bmUID=iOyfl4h" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=iOyfl4h</a></p> <p>2.) A camel colored winter coat (are you seeing a theme yet?). This is much harder than it should be. I want something that's soft and cozy, with a belt and very few other details (e.g., not a pea coat or something else with lots of big buttons). It doesn't have to be super thick given our mild SF winters (relatively speaking), but lining would be nice. And an interesting funnel or wrap around collar/neck would be a bonus.</p> <p>3.) More Issa wrap dresses! I am always on the hunt for these since they are so hard to find in the US. I have my eye on a few on ebay but the prices are still a bit too high for me to pull the trigger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258453 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:06:22 +0000 catgirl 258453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zap, I'm trying to think where I was surprised to see some amazingly cute and functional down jackets... I think it was in Eddie Bauer (which we do have here!):</p> <p><a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/Womens-Outerwear/Down-Outerwear--Jackets/index.cat" rel="nofollow">http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/W...../index.cat</a></p> <p>The Slope Side down parka looked really nice in the store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258452 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:05:39 +0000 qfbrenda 258452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think my list is too long. LOL But I'm basically rebuilding my wardrobe from the ground up.</p> <p>knee-length dresses<br /> charcoal gray shift dress<br /> black casual skirt<br /> 2 denim skirts... 1 dark wash, 1 lighter<br /> 2 in. pumps in black... maybe in nude two-tone as well<br /> black blazer<br /> cropped light colored blazer/jacket<br /> leather jacket<br /> cropped denim jacket<br /> earrings: pearls, silver hoops<br /> black v-neck sweater<br /> black and brown purses (2 different... not combining colors)<br /> pea coat<br /> trenchcoat</p> <p>And after I lose 10 lbs I'm going to try on boot cut jeans and see what hubby and I think. I haven't worn pants in at least 8 years, so that's a major thing. LOL </p> <p>See? Too many things. LOL And that doesn't include other basics I need like better bras and layering tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258451 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:03:06 +0000 Anonymous 258451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black, pull on, waterproof, leather knee high boots with some heel, to wear with dresses and skirts primarily. I'm good with a 3 inch heel. I want something streamlined, classic with minimal adornments.<br /> These are in transit at 30% off from endless.

The hitch is that it needs to be very, very inexpensive but still good quality so I'm pretty much limited to the thrift stores and that always takes time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-on-your-search-list#post-258445 Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:48:09 +0000 catgirl 258445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is something I found today - hoping for a sale... </p> <p><a href="http://www.kennethcole.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4385936" rel="nofollow">http://www.kennethcole.com/pro.....Id=4385936</a> </p>
