Fall Wish List

What's on your fall/Winter wish list?
I have already crossed several items off of mine, but I am still wanting:
Booties (I ordered a pair to try)
Cross body bag (also have one coming to try)
Ponte knit pants
Flannel shirt- may have found one at Target but haven't had a chance to try it
Boots
Silver bangle bracelets
New bras and undies
Smaller workout gear
Those are the specific items I want, but I can always use tops, sweaters, and layering pieces.

I'm on the lookout for a few slim fitting, not long, vneck cardigans in merino wool for layering under jackets and a pair of comfy, slip on loafers or flats.

I have a long list, as I need to replace some items which no longer work for me. Highlights include:

Mac/trench coat that fits well and isn't black.
Long length (to mid-thigh) charcoal cardigan.
Pink/purple-ish cardigan
Pretty jersey top with long sleeves.
Couple of casual tops that work with new jeans.
One or two work tops that go with new trousers.
Black pretty/detailed jacket/blazer.
Work dress for autumn, probably jersey, ideally patterned.
Casual tunics.
Maybe - long sleeve black dress, casual winter coat

Only one thing so far -- this 100% cotton sweater I saw in the Wrap London catalog. It has a full-length zipper up the back, with 3/4 sleeves. It would be good for our mild winters. The only reason I haven't gotten it is I can't decide between the Cornflower Blue and the Blue/Black.

I need leggings, knit tops to replace the inexpensive tees I've been wearing, and some comfortable pants to wear on long driving trips - maybe the harem yoga pants from Lucy.

My list:

leather jacket
crossbody bag
slouchy sweater
boho topper (check!)
snow boots

I also would like to upgrade some essentials, but only as I find the right pieces.

A long cardi, black or darker grey, out of the colors at NAS so did not order, a pair of patch jeans, a cotton bukly knit crew neck sweater, white or off white, and not giving up on finding a pair of 1 1/2 to 2 inch block heel pumps in tan, cognac or animal print. So far two pairs had to go back, but I am not ready to give up yet in finding a pair that works. But meanwhile I am considering some other versitile block heels in those colors. Will replace a pair of black booties with a heel of 3 " or less that have a dressy look if I can find them. These I will not want to pay too much for as they will not be worn much, but for some occasions like around the holidays they will really be a plus to have.

Not a clue!! Hehe! I think I need to bet off my butt and have a think. It's already like Autumn today here in the UK.

Clothes in my current size, that I like.
80-90% of my closet doesn't fit.

What I always "need" for Fall

something velvet
grey merino knits
chunky sweaters (still feeling the crop!)
hi waist tweed trousers
Chunky boots leather or suede.

I had better go shop my closet and pray the moths haven't been nibbling away!

I am still looking for a cognac or brown-red-rust coloured leather jacket. Also looking for the perfect pair of cropped trousers.

And for winter, I'm going to need a new ski jacket after the Obermeyer Zermatt I bought last year started coming apart at the front pocket such that it lets water in. Definitely not recommended.

Check Talbots for those ponte pants. I have several pair from there. Nice substantial fabric, no itch, no weird smell, and they wash well.

I don't have any bugs in my head this year. I must be pretty happy with my wardrobe. But I'm liking the 'nautical' inspired looks in the mags right now. Something with a red vertical stripe could tempt me.

One thing *surprise* that I must get is a puffy - lol. But I mean an ankle length one. And it better have a good zipper. Last winter I wore an old thing from the 70s for those midnight dog walks. There was NOTHING to be had in the stores. Sigh. I'm tired of cheap zippers on long coats.

I haven't had a chance yet to sort through the fall/winter items I currently own so not 100% sure.
I know I want and need new denim in both skinny and bootcut format.
I think maybe some thin long sleeve tshirts as well.
I will try not to be sucked into the vortex of the fictional life and buy all sorts of pretty items that I have no place to wear :).

I did a big try on of all the fall/winter pants in my closet and unfortunately, I need to pass several pairs on as they are just too big now. But 6-8 from last year still work. And from NAS I got olive jeans and black flare leg trousers and from other shopping, navy ponte pants and silvery gray slim leg pants so I think I am sorted for bottoms, including jeans.

I got a burgundy hobo style bag at Coach and I honestly don't need any more bags so I should be done looking at those!

I also got black pointy toe flats, to help fill my desire for lower heel options.

Still on my wish list:

1) Non-black topper- I have one coming from NAS that could work (the EF red jacket).

2) Black low heeled boots that have some interest and not flat black- I am hoping this pair works (not on sale).

3) Raincoat to wear with smart casual to somewhat dressier work outfits.

3) Not really a need, but maybe another 1-2 'statementy' tops
