Hi all,
Just took some time to purge some pieces that were no longer working for me (or never did), throw a few maybes into the purgatory bin (!), and see what's needed (wanted, who's kidding who) for fall! Here's how it went:

• there was not a lot to purge, which is great! Some uncomfortable shoes, a few pieces that were well-loved but worn out, and one or two mistakes will go for donation or recycling.
• the purgatory bin contains some pieces that I still like and that fit, but that I just don't ever seem to reach for - when the shopping-for-novelty bug strikes, I'll start there, and maybe something will pop!
• if I didn't buy anything this fall, I think I'd be pretty content with my wardrobe, which is nice because it means I can add a few pieces with no pressure at all, which hopefully will mean better decisions

Here's what I have in mind:

• A fall-weight casual jacket - either black or blush. I'm okay if it's a bit gear-ish; this is a going for walks at the cottage kind of piece.
• Shoes - white sneakers and black riding boots or other casual fall flats
• Some sort of a 'party top' for well, parties, to pair with jeans and heels that feels somewhat fun and festive, while also working for my modest and understated sensibilities. This is one of those items I'm never happy with. Suggestions appreciated! Oh - also need heels lol!
• A cross-body purse for everyday use (undecided on color but def neutral; probably black or maybe taupe/stone)
• A few non-essential, nod-to-trends pieces if I find ones I like - perhaps a non-skinny jean, a moody floral scarf, a light blue and/or berry top (two colors that I wear with the comfort of my neutrals), and/or something glen plaid

What I don't need currently is any more skinny pants or any more navy! Love them both; don't need any more at the moment. Black is feeling fresh and appealing to me, so I am allowing myself to add judiciously.

What's on your fall shopping list?
