Dreaming of better days is a good thing. WFH has given me a glimpse of what retirement might be like. &nbsp;I am definitely loving my casual, “weekend wear” 7 days a week. Retirement for me means perhaps another year or two in the classroom. I have plenty of work outfits and oodles of opportunities to mix and match. Truthfully, I don’t think I will be purchasing any more work wardrobe items.&nbsp;<div>&nbsp;I have slowly added some swim options and SPF shirts and dresses to my summer wardrobe. &nbsp;I think I am well set for time at the lake house. I want to live there for a while to see what I really need. &nbsp;In my dreams, I think I may want to add:<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;A couple of midi or maxi dresses for evenings on the decks. &nbsp;Something pretty to put on after the swimsuits, coverups and sand and sunblock have all been removed.<br />&nbsp; Sea glass jewlery- something I can wear in and out of the water without worry. There are plenty of options in my area, but my eyes are on Lisa Hall pieces. Stunning simplicity and workmanship. She also makes jewelry from pieces of sea glass brought in to her. After years of beach combing, I have a few unique finds that have great potential.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-dream-purchase#post-2115182 Mon, 20 Apr 2020 02:02:53 +0000 ah28 2115182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great thread. So many fabulous things mentioned.<br /> Here are mine:<br /> A Lisa Eldridge ring, preferably The Lisa or The Elizabeth.

Only problem is I have no idea where I would wear such an item (I know longer lengths reads as too formal for most Western events). </p> <p>2) More practically, I've been searching for a <b> warm-toned matching pantsuit set </b> (like olive/ deep khaki green or chocolate brown) in a comfortably stretchy, machine washable yet polished-looking &amp; structured material. I can't find something that looks interview appropriate whilst being easy to care for &amp; not too thick to wear in Hong Kong (like wool). Also struggling to find petite yet curvy straight leg styles. </p> <p>3) A <b> deep teal full parure </b> (matching Jewellery set) of ovals (or any other flatteringly curved shape) that can be used to dress up or down an outfit (without being too blingy or delicate). </p> <p>There are also other basics that I'm patiently searching to replace, like <b> lightweight cotton tops in my preferred colours </b> (coral, orange, yellow, teal, plum, chocolate, ivory) &amp; my preferred silhouettes (3/4 sleeved boatneck, sleeveless but not too low cut). I'm more confident these will eventually show up though, so they aren't really 'dream' items per se. </p> <p>Sorry for the essay - it seems a big part of why I can't find these items is that I may be too picky </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-dream-purchase#post-2114836 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 05:33:38 +0000 Jenni NZ 2114836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can join you at the cocktail party ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-dream-purchase#post-2114835 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 05:30:52 +0000 Jenni NZ 2114835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All through my life the fantasy purchase has always been a red dress. Started I think when I made a dress out of some shiny satiny curtain fabric of Mum’s! I may have been 18 or 19? It had crossover straps at the back. Sadly I never got a pic of me in it, back then.<br /> I love Nuancedream’s idea of that red dress Audrey Hepburn is wearing?<br /> I did buy a beautiful red dress in Cairns, Australia in 2015- but seeing this is fantasy, why not another? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-dream-purchase#post-2114832 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 04:55:27 +0000 Echo 2114832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've actually been pondering rewarding myself at the end of this semester, as I've had a class that has been absolute h*ll. It isn't that it is that difficult, jut very, very stressful with a professor who is on a power trip. But even so, I've only been considering a plain gold bangle or possibly pearls.</p> <p>Dream purchase? A Cartier Ballon Bleu 36mm two tone watch. Or perhaps a Love bracelet. OR a tahitian and south sea harvest strand.</p> <p>In the real world? Maybe some Tieks or some other fun shoes and a black fit and flare midi dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-dream-purchase#post-2114816 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 02:50:49 +0000 smittie 2114816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A Secrid wallet (it’s got a button that pops out your cards!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-dream-purchase#post-2114814 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 02:37:59 +0000 cindysmith 2114814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dream purchase would be a Rick Owens leather jacket.

We seem to be done with weddings for a few years.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fantasy--a Chanel "boyfriend" watch I saw a few years ago at a ridiculous price. Years ago I found a knock-off of a black Chanel watch at a little store in Carmel for only $10. Yes, I bought it. No regrets back then.</p> <p>I'm going to have to think about it. Mostly I'd like to just be able to go places again. Poor Carmel--I wonder how many stores and restaurants there will survive this virus blitz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-your-dream-purchase#post-2114540 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 23:42:55 +0000 rachylou 2114540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now I want a calf-length pencil sundress.
