I can't wait to see what's in the NAS sale, even though I can't go (no Nordstroms in Canada)</p> <p>-I'd like some flat boots and maybe some fun booties for Fall. I have a hard time picking those out.<br /> -Fall purse<br /> -I'd like a matching suit, but will maybe make one because I'll never find one that I can afford that will fit me.<br /> -?? I don't know what else until I see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-654833 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 18:06:56 +0000 rae 654833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeesh, it seems like I just crossed off my winter wish list from 2011! </p> <p>My eyes are peeled for:<br /> 1) Emerald shirt - wanted this for spring, too, but waddayagonnado?</p> <p>2) Comfy, supportive, narrow-footed, narrow-calfed, flat-ish boots. Team Flats here on YLF has convinced me that flats for my feet must exist. Hoping to wear with jeggings and minidresses. </p> <p>3) Puffer coat - watching one on Ebay now. </p> <p>4) FLEECE LINED SKINNIES! I've wanted these for a few seasons, but I've only seen them on Asian sites. Come to the US, please. :(</p> <p>5) Yes, I will probably fall in love with another jacket or coat along the way. Maybe a bright colored wool? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-654683 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 14:41:27 +0000 Aziraphale 654683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. New handbag (black or dark brown with metal hardware)<br /> 2. Blazer (preferably light gray wool tweed)<br /> 3. Another BR non-iron fitted shirt (since I just found out their petite sizes fit me!)<br /> 4. Flat oxfords with brogue details<br /> 5. Wool sweater vest with argyle pattern </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-654600 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 13:17:28 +0000 harmonica 654600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Denim pencil skirt!!! Can't find it anywhere</p> <p>2. Biker boots to go with skirts, dresses and jeans (to replace some other boots that are waiting to be purged)</p> <p>3. A fit &amp; flare dress with a short sleeve (can't find it anywhere)</p> <p>4. Summer skirt </p> <p>5. Chunky and stylish cardigan (wool/cashmere)</p> <p>(6.Leather jacket - I have started long term saving, so will have to figure out what style I want before actually buying) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-654586 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:52:27 +0000 Traci 654586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the list that's been running through my mind as I start daydreaming of fall.</p> <p>1. Replacement charcoal turtleneck sweater. This is my go to comfort piece all fall and winter and mine is on its very last legs. I could not find a suitable replacement last year. The hunt is already on!<br /> 2. Frye Carson Oxfords. I'm unsure on color, but leaning towards smoke. I love the cognac, but I want a pair I can wear with tights in fall and winter as well as with slacks.<br /> 3. Perfect fit cognac boots. I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever find these in my lifetime.<br /> 4. Black sheath dress. I have my eye on the sunburst sheath from Ann Taylor.<br /> 5. Lots of fun hosiery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-654354 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 00:55:51 +0000 Laura 654354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been super inspired by all of the boyfriend/rolled jeans looks around here. I might be tempted by a pair of those jeans. And I really, really want a pair of Stuart Weitzman ballet flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-654304 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 23:36:07 +0000 Jjsloane 654304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I can finally reply to this with my NAS catalog in hand.<br /> 1. Colorful leather moto (like the Truth &amp; Pride Orange one page 5, but more in my budget)<br /> 2. Python and/or Cognac handbag (LOVE D&amp;B Strap Tassel Satchel pg 19)<br /> 3. Patterned booties either python or DV Folly CHelsea Boot in Black &amp; White (pg 24)<br /> 4. Gold Square Watch or Horn Watch (not in NAS catalog unless you count the out of my league Philip Steins)<br /> 5. Slim Black tall boots to wear with dresses (the ones I got last year are too high for everyday and my go to ones died finally) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653373 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 18:41:30 +0000 CocoLion 653373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking for a seriously cool black moto jacket. It's probably going to be expensive. So I have to be willing to wait for sales. Or maybe mine will never go on sale? </p> <p>This is the only thing I can think of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653364 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:36:08 +0000 Angie 653364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at my Pinterest boards, Tanya </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653359 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:32:59 +0000 Tanya 653359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK Angie, now I am curious as a kitten about what those looks might be But I will not ask as I feel it would seriously tempt me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653358 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:30:40 +0000 Angie 653358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been really fun reading your lists. Look back on them in January and tell us how you did:)</p> <p>I don't have ITEMS on my list per se (accept for those items that are ALWAYS on my list). I just have the looks that I am going for in Autumn and Winter in my head and take it from there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653356 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:27:25 +0000 Tanya 653356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to thank everyone who shared their lists here. It had been lots of fun reading, and I will make sure to bump this thread up to remind us all what we really need once NAS madness starts, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653233 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 13:13:15 +0000 texstyle 653233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Taupe boots<br /> 2. Fall/winter handbag<br /> 3. Pretty jewel toned pendant necklace<br /> 4. New hair style<br /> 5. The courage to wear some of the items I already own and have not worn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653225 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 13:08:58 +0000 marianna 653225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this exercise!</p> <p>I am thinking about getting...<br /> 1) A two-tone watch (hopefully during NAS).<br /> 2) New black ponte skinnies (wardrobe workhorse with boots)<br /> 3) A couple quality long tunics to wear with skinnies/boots<br /> 4) Quality black boots with a tiny wedge (I have plenty of flat boots)<br /> 5) A pair of black or dark investment ballet flats </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653177 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 08:48:37 +0000 goldenpig 653177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Drapey black sweater like Deborah posted wearing over the B44 skirt. All of my sweaters are fitted V-necks, it would be nice to try to find something more voluminous for a change of pace.<br /> 2. Herringbone tights to replace the ones I ripped<br /> 3. Utility jacket, maybe in olive<br /> 4. Long flowy cardigan, maybe in rust orange or teal<br /> 5. Tomato red pumps--I like my red pumps but they are darker than most of the reds in my clothes.</p> <p>Undecided if I need a classic black blazer or not, whether it's really my style.</p> <p>Great exercise Tanya! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653139 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 05:43:33 +0000 Nadya 653139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good exercise to think this out!<br /> 1. Comfortable black heels. I'm finally admitting, after two years, that my pretty Cole Hahn peep toes are cruel shoes.<br /> 2. Lowish heel black boot or booties. I love my short laceup Halogen boots I bought two years ago, but they're just too high now for every day.<br /> 3. Wide legged grey and camel flannel trousers. These have been on my wish list for years. Maybe this year will be the year!<br /> 4. Moto jacket<br /> 5. Wild card - that piece I fall in love with and that is not a boring basic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653113 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 04:26:05 +0000 Ana 653113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, this is a great topic, Tanya! My Fall/Winter wishlist is very short, since our cool season doesn't last long. But I do have some things that need replacing.</p> <p>1. Long wool coat in a bright color. The one I have is six years old now and the inside lining is torn. Plus it's black and just not me. I'd like to find one that won't go out of style any time soon, since I will probably have it for another five or six years. :)</p> <p>2. Gold watch. Hoping to possibly pick one of these up at NAS.</p> <p>3. Black skinny jeans.</p> <p>4. Ballet flats. I need a few pairs to replace the ones I have, which are completely worn out.</p> <p>5. Tomato red, merino wool, v-neck cardigan to replace the one I have that is worn out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list/page/2#post-653107 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 04:15:43 +0000 Abie 653107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh gosh, I'm still working on the long hot summer. </p> <p>Likely a couple of blazers to go over my summer clothes and some updated tights. I should be ready for new underthings by then too. My fall is more like summer and my winter is more like fall so I won't need much this time around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653099 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 04:01:35 +0000 Anonymous 653099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I don't have any pressing needs for winter clothes, but I'm always on the look out in thrift stores for some things that I'd *like* to have.</p> <p>1. tall flat riding boots<br /> 2. silk square scarf in my colors<br /> 3. a well-fitted blazer suitable for layering<br /> 4. dreamy, drape-y dress pants<br /> 5. festive non-black items to make holiday party outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653095 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 03:54:08 +0000 christieanne 653095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been thinking about this too even though we won't have Fall until mid-October. With stores leaner in inventory, I am thinking BBQ is going to be my mantra. </p> <p>1) More Denim. Delightful to be able to wear denim at work. I am looking for a nice black straight leg or cigarette cut jean, maybe a duplicate Jag (or the bootcut), and hopefully colored denim in some fun rich colors and long length (teal, dark plum, dark red?). </p> <p>2) Blazers. Loving the ease and comfort of Ponte right now. Just ordered a dark emerald pique knit from Talbots sale. More rich fall tones please. And a grey/black/white wintery tweed. </p> <p>3) Bras - hoping my style goes on sale during NAS. If not, will buy long before fall. </p> <p>4) Fun accessories. Just because that's what I love. </p> <p>Wow that's only 4 - can't think of any more right now. </p> <p>3) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653094 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 03:53:29 +0000 Amy 653094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I'm going to give those a try. Thanks for the recommendation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653088 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 03:44:45 +0000 Suz 653088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an excellent exercise and in theory it might be the answer to my whine in another thread! </p> <p>Let me try to see if I can actually manage it: </p> <p>1 Navy or cranberry red sheath dress that can be dressed up or down. </p> <p>2. Pewter or taupe or peacock cross-body bag. </p> <p>3. Taupe boots</p> <p>4. Perfect white button down </p> <p>5. A fabulous jacket, type to be determined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653071 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 03:06:44 +0000 Anonymous 653071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been fun reading these and will be good for focus on NAS. My list:<br /> 1. Color! Especially a long sleeved silk shirt or two.<br /> 2. Midi wool coat..maybe J Crew?<br /> 3. A blue or turquoise jacket in velvet or year-round weight wool<br /> 4. Animal print low heels...booties or pumps<br /> 5. A midi black pencil skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653054 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 02:26:13 +0000 Lynne 653054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list, Tanya!</p> <p>From the SH, I'll add my summer wishlist top 5 :)</p> <p>1. Colour to mix with my neutrals, either in a pencil skirt, a jacket, a bag, or shoes.... Aqua, grass green, fuschia, or red would all be good.<br /> 2. sparkly sandals<br /> 3. fitted shift dress<br /> 4. white or denim bermuda's<br /> 5. an oversize but slim profile silver watch</p> <p>Now, how to stay focussed and avoid all the other pretties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653031 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 01:43:02 +0000 Echo 653031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We just had the official first day of summer; it is too early to think about fall/winter!</p> <p>But my list so far:<br /> Flat boots in a mahogany brown.<br /> Mid-length wool coat in a true green.<br /> Whiskey or mahogany leather tote in a size appropriate for a weekend away.<br /> Silk scarf in a bright colour.<br /> The perfect blazer, in a colour yet to be determined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653024 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 01:33:04 +0000 Transcona Shannon 653024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your answer Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653018 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 01:17:20 +0000 velvetychocolate 653018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait for fall! It was 105.9F this morning at 10:00 a.m. Yikes!</p> <p>My list:</p> <p>1. Fabulous leather jacket - I've wanted one for years, and kept putting it off - this is #1 on my list for fall. </p> <p>2. One or two pairs of nice booties/short boots to wear with jeans, dress pants and skirts - I have a couple of pairs, but the main pair I wear are getting kind of worn out. </p> <p>3. A very good quality non-black handbag of some sort. Not sure what colour exactly, but something in a different than the black one I bought a year or so ago. I still love the black one I have and it's still in top-notch condition, just that I'd like a different colour to use for fall and winter. </p> <p>4. Considering a better quality coat - I bought a Talbot's coat last season, but it's not the warmest thing in the world, although I do love the style and fabric. Willing to spend a bit more here, for a change. </p> <p>5. I think I might finally be ready to get myself two or three pairs of premium jeans. I wear jeans fairly often from October through early May, and it makes sense to get better quality here. </p> <p>Just had to edit my whole list because I realized it was supposed to be "top five." You don't want to know what my list was like before I edited it down to properly answer the question...(where's the embarrased-faced icon when I need it?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-653003 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 00:52:32 +0000 lyn* 653003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me; (it's +30 today, btw) ...</p> <p>1. Riding boots in brown<br /> 2. Riding boots in black<br /> 3. Fossil Weekender bag<br /> 4. Cartier wrist watch<br /> 5. More fleecy tights!</p> <p>:) I doubt I can afford them all; but hey, a girl can dream ... and hope for bonuses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-652989 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 00:30:09 +0000 nancylee 652989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny you should ask this question. I just crossed the second-to-last item off my summer "to buy" list. (It was a black sleeveless jersey dress to wear on super hot days...and I found one! I still need/want a cream crossbody bag.)</p> <p>I don't really need much for fall/winter this year since I bought so much last year. But I'm thinking maybe:</p> <p>1) a blouse or two to wear with my midi skirts<br /> 2) a short fitted blazer (in a color or tweed pattern)<br /> 3) a wine bag<br /> 4) maybe another pair of Paige denim<br /> 5) a formal gown for an event I will be attending in December </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-basic-top-5-fall-wish-list#post-652981 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 00:15:48 +0000 Isabel 652981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are in blazing heat right now and I just packed away my polar fleece...so I can't even think of Fall.</p> <p>I also can't really buy ahead because of all the medical stuff going on. But I think that I am probably all set from this last Winter as long as I don't gain anymore weight. If I lose, I will have things taken in. </p>
