Also love the look of legwarmers showing from the tops of boots, especially a pair like this: <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/fairisle-legwarmers/_/productOptionIDs/e27cbf92-c40a-466e-a29d-7a0feca0510b,bf809fed-e5c3-4150-b4e2-d5e233f1b154/" rel="nofollow">http://www.freepeople.com/fair.....233f1b154/</a> They're too expensive, but I'm looking out for a (much) cheaper version!

Interesting leggings (I'm eyeing some with leather panels) 8. faux fur vest (love the one from LOFT, but not sure how to wear - this indoor/outdoor question is still relevant in my mind) 9. olive green anorak (got it - from Gap) 10. Short, slouchy utilitarian flat boots (looking for somthing flat, with a lug sole, that I can wear with my leggings/shift dresses or tunics or with skinnies) Jonesy on "Your Autumn "must haves" list !" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-autumn-must-haves-list/page/2#post-223061 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 14:55:18 +0000 Jonesy 223061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have enjoyed reading these lists, though I do have pangs of jealousy since I am trying to be a good soldier and not shop until 2011! My list, to be fulfilled January 1, is for a beautiful, perfect, versatile, fitted, slim-cut, slightly-cropped black jacket that will go with everything and make me feel fabulous. Also, a pair of perfect knee-high black boots that are polished and elegant yet edgy, fit my calves/ankles (both slightly smaller than average, so it seems), and have a walkable 2" heel. That's it! These are the latest boots I have been mooning over from afar. They are SO FAB: <a href="http://www.shopscarpe.com/product.asp?name=Elizabeth-Criss-Cross-Tall-Boot---Black&pfid=SCP00707" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopscarpe.com/prod.....d=SCP00707</a> Louise on "Your Autumn "must haves" list !" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-autumn-must-haves-list/page/2#post-222980 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 08:13:09 +0000 Louise 222980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Do you know I don't think I have a list!!!

It has just hit me how much I already have - and how very little room there is where I live to bring in anything more! The only thing that I can think of that I would really like is a pair of black knee-high flat boots. Otherwise I can get through this season perfectly content with my wardrobe as is. I am a warm weather person, so I just don't really get into layered looks, scarves, jackets, leggings, etc.! I'm dreaming about Fashion Week's Spring 2011 looks!

I'm due for a new fall trench but I think I might just wait and see what Angie puts in the YLF store a pair of taller boots-- despite living in a warmer climate, I like to get one pair of taller boots each year. This year I'm kind of at a loss of what to get. OTK boots are the thing but I have a grey pair and it seems silly to get another pair. Nothing has really struck my fancy and I'm short with narrower calves so that's always a fit issue.

Other items I hope to acquire: -a replacement pair of leggings in jet black and hopefully in a heavier material than the ones I currently have -microfishnets -some long, soft, chunky knit sweaters that feel heavenly but don't add bulk to the midsection--tricky, but theoretically possible -Tory Burch's dolman sleeve cashmere sweater in cobalt blue -Tory Burch's Aaron coat in camel -a new pair of statement specs (in conjunction with a very overdue eye appointment next weekend) -crisp white button down My MAYBE must-haves (so, more like "might have to haves")--things I am intrigued by but would have to find JUST the right version to make me purchase: -a pair of fall apporpriate shorts (either tweed or a solid wool/felt) -Oxfords Anonymous on "Your Autumn "must haves" list !" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-autumn-must-haves-list/page/2#post-222487 Mon, 27 Sep 2010 18:13:34 +0000 Anonymous 222487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Since I'm participating in SYC and in pretty good shape, I plan to try to make work some items I have: 1. taupe oxfords 2. animal print loafers 3. some navy and some black shooties 4. summer dresses worn into fall for as long as possible The footwear was ignored last year, so it will be a challenge.
