JAileen, Mainelady, StyleFan, and Ledonna, thank you all the for the Sorel info. It's good to know I should feel confident in their functionality if they turn out to fit me well.
LauraG, based on your photos in the floral thread, you wear skirts really well, so that seems like a natural style direction for you...especially in SoCal where that's more possible in winter than in colder, wetter location. Since you sell vintage goods, do you also wear vintage? That might be a fun option for the the tall boots.
dakotacheryl, I'm hoping Eileen Fisher will have something in her fall line. We shall see.
Meredith, your items sounds like solid essentials that I would have in my own wardrobe!
LP, I don't think your list seems terribly long! I love the idea of having a "don't need" list. I bet that really helps to keep you focused.
Angie, I am a planner, for sure! Thinking ahead and analyzing potential purchases extends the "shopper's high" for me, making me less likely to buy willy-nilly just to get that new item pick-me-up. I feel the same way about planning trips. My husband is more spontaneous, so we balance each other out.
