Inspired by Angie's post today, just sharing my current wardrobe hole (it's the non-urgent kind Angie mentioned) - I can function fine without it, but it's definitely bothering me!

I've really enjoy my light taupe shoes and purse for summer, in the way it bookends the lightest parts of my hair, and so magically works with everything. I'd like to do similar for fall/winter, but pulling from the darker parts of my hair (I have a lot of hair colours to work with lol! and you can see in the photos the difference the light makes as to what colour gets pulled).

The wardrobe holes:

- fall flat shoes that are dressier than a sneaker, but not a dressy shoe per se
- bookending purse for everyday fall/winter (was considering burgundy a while ago, but I think a bookend colour will feel more versatile to me)
- bookending snow boots

I find it tricky to settle in on a colour as there are *so* many shades of brown ... I think I need something neither too cool and gray, nor too orange. Trying not to be too pedantic about it. Thoughts and insights welcome! I've created an inspo collection and hope to get to the mall this weekend to investigate in person.

ETA - What I've got - I was able to darken these shoes with some polish. The bag is too big really but does the job and the colour looks alright? Appreciate your thoughts!
