Great lists! So exciting!

Michelle, you need LOTS of coats and boots.

Vani, our Texas trio is in the same boat. There is plenty that can be done to feel refreshed for Autumn and Winter when the weather is mild. We went through this last year and it was so interesting. You can post your own thread if you like. The Texas gals will come to your rescue.

In Seattle, we start wearing boots in September, WITHOUT hose but with dresses and clamdiggers. (At least I do). My scarves come out again and I just love it!

I'd love a puffer coat x

I bought 3 items at NAS and those ankle boots and I feel pretty well covered. The other piece that I'll be looking for is a cropped military jacket, and I've already seen a couple so I know they're out there ...

Add me to the list of those looking for a puffer coat later in the season. My black one is 3-4 years old. Cream would be ideal. But I'm not holding my breath!

My priority items are a winter coat, a pair of low heeled boots to wear with skirts/dresses - preferably in a dark dark brown, a sweater dress (or some facsimile that I could layer with in the winter), girly tops & knits.

I'd also like to get another pair of jeans, I may check out those Kut from the Kloth ones at the NAS - they look interesting.

Of course I have no budget for any of this, but I figure it's good to have a list as things could change quickly!

Angie: no worries, I already have a good assortment of coats. Pretty much everything *except* the knee-length wool one. Fortunately there's a fantastic store in Toronto that sells nothing but coats. Fabulous selection and great quality stuff, so I'm sure to find something there. Boots will no doubt proove more elusive. I have two pairs that go up a bit past my ankles: one trendy pointy-toed pair that are fine for fall and useless for winter, and another that I'll have to run by YLF but that are warm and insanely comfortable for when the snow falls. Tall boots are my focus now.

I am loving seeing everyone's lists... helped me get my own in order! Good luck to all those hunting for cream puffer coats. I sense a thread coming on.

I desperately need some flat, comfy tall boots this year - black definitely and maybe a chestnut pair as well.

The elusive sweater dress is on my list too.

I also need a shorter wool coat (not double breasted), maybe in a bright color - my longer one does not get much use.

If I see any good leather jackets at NAS, I am going to grab one - I haven't had one for year and years. I still have a vintage (well I bought in in 1993 when I was in college) J Crew leather bomber but it looks way too masculine on me now - I'm saving it for my sons!

Maybe some sweaters/tunics

I found a really terrific long cream puffer jacket at the end of the season from Kenneth Cole. It was so late in the season that I only got to wear it once but it is perfect so I can cross that off my list!
