Thanks for all the votes for leopard prints…the search continues.
Kiwigal/Sally – Thanks! That striped sweater is very lightweight and I'm already needing a layer under it or over it from now until spring, but that’s ok! Today is our first really cold day of the fall with the temps getting “not quite to 40” (Celsius 4). Good idea to go for some very differnet footwear
Thanks Tanya! Great ideas, especially the recommendation for textured pants. You are right that I have only very simple ones, either jeans or black (or other dark colors).
Gigi – I do have a pair of white jeans I did not think of for fall/winter, stuck in my old traditional patterns. Time to pull them out and wear them! I think they would look great with the camel sweater especially. (I must confess that this was not my idea, saw it on a blogger ). The suede booties are actually a little bit lighter than they look in the find photo.
Joy, good idea about light bottoms and some toppers. I do have a grey
cocoon cardigan although it’s so casual it’s almost loungewear, and a darker grey/brwn knit moto jacket….and was thinking about getting a knit blazer in a bright color.
Eden Farrow, as I said in my original posting I have a LOT of scarves, both indoor an outdoor ones so I’m good there. I’m not a fan of OTK
boots on me, I think they’d be too hard to style on a very short person like me and to be honest they don’t interest me that much. I am however considering getting a second pair of tall boots in brown/cognac. I only have one pair now and they are black. A leather jacket would work well for me in fall and spring and I’ve been looking for one for several years but finding the right fit has been elusive. My winters are really cold so a leather jacket would be an indoor topper in our really cold winters. I will keep looking.
Helen11 yes, you said it just right, my wardrobe is keeping me happy and now I can focus on holding out for perfect additions! Well said! Your way of saying it makes me smile!
Robin yes a cream topper/sweater would be good (there is a turtleneck in that color I forgot to include, added it here) and I do love the idea of a faux fur vest. I went shopping with a good friend a few weekends ago and we stopped to pet all the “bunnies” which is what I was calling all the faux fur toppers we saw.
