Fall/Winter purchases

Glory

I did a fair amount of shopping especially in tops because I purged almost everything. I did try to interpret Angie's recommendations for the most part. I have only included what I kept and sadly I made tons of returns. Unfortunately I had to buy new pants due to weight gain and the 3 listed here are all I now have in rotation.

Bottoms:

Black ponte pants (these are the ones that shrunk like mad but I was able to restretch)
Olive skinny pants
Straight leg jeans

Sweaters

Navy/black tunic sweater
Teal/black doggy sweater
Black/white Buffalo check sweater (sadly not worn and cannot return)
Off white sweatshirt with beaded neckline
Gray two tone baseball sweater
Dark Grey lace sweatshirt
Plaid shirt
Navy sweater
Chevron black/cream sweater

Jackets

Transitional car coat

Footwear

Combat boots with gold detail back zippers
Taupe petty lookalike booties

Hi Glory! Your sweaters sound super cool and up to date and I bet the combat boots are great too!

This sounds like a great wardrobe refresher. It seems that you and I both went heavy on the knit tops this year. I felt as if I really needed cozy knits for cold days.

It's pretty enlightening to do this sort of inventory, isn't it. I think it may come in handy next year for comparison.

Sounds like some great purchases. How come you haven't worn the Buffalo Check sweater? I want to see a pic of the doggy sweater

Thanks for the positive words. When I am feeling a wee bit down I always feel better when I post here. The extra weight has me pretty unhappy - it is really why I feel I cannot post any pics.
I also forgot I added a cream cable knit sweater.
The buffalo check - the checks make me feel larger. I don't know. Tomorrow I will wear it with my jeans and combat boots - pinkie swear :).
Here is a stock photo of the doggy sweater. I love it and have worn in a couple of times already since buying it 2 weeks ago. I think it is a bonus that my son thinks the dogs look angry lol.

Oh, I love the doggy sweater! Great color, too! I always buy some new sweaters and knit tops every fall. I used to think I should restrict my knit top purchases but then I realized that fall is actually a good time to discard some tired-looking knits from the previous season.

Sounds like a terrific refresher.

I hear ya on pants. Unforgiving beasties! They were designed to torture us, you know. Or increase trouser sales!!

"Oh, put on 5 pounds have you (insert evil laugh here). Well, my pretty, now you have to buy all new pants!!"

I'd love to see a picture of the grey lace sweatshirt!

You did a fair amount of replenishing- your list looks good. So are you all done for fall/winter? I see olive skinnies on your list. I have a pair in my online shopping cart right now. I need to follow your lead and buy some more sweaters.

I'm sorry you're feeling down Glory. But good for you buying new trousers that fit you properly instead of suffering in the old ones! Your list looks a wonderful mix and match wardrobe, and I love the dog sweater! Maybe adding a scarf to the buffalo check sweater will make you like it more?

It sounds like you purchased a great new capsule for yourself! I always own more tops than bottoms.

Peri - here is a picture of the gray lace sweatshirt. It was an early f/w purchase and has turned out be be great - very versatile but WAH friendly.
Cin Fern - I have the buffalo check on but kind of cheated - I wore something else for client meetings and then changed into it. I will see about snapping a photo
Jewell - the olive pants were very much outside my comfort zone. I purchased them about 4 weeks ago and have worn them at least 4 times. Given I have no bottoms it is kind of a must. But they have been much more versatile than I would have thought.

thanks for all the kind words.
