the perfect midi skirt.

A nice lightweight neutral color summer blazer...although I may have to wait until next summer to find one at this point!

I've been looking for the perfect nude pump for years. Something like this:

but not patent, and in a wide size. If I find the right color/finish, they don't come in wide. Or, if it's the right size/color/finish, it costs over $600. Or it hurts, because the toe box is too narrow. I've almost given up, but there remains a tiny spark of hope. Surely I can't be the only woman in existence with these requirements in a nude pump?

I'm thinking (after SYC -- next summer) that I will invest in a pair of Remix Vintage sandals -- the Picasso -- a 1940s style. Originally I wanted dark brown but now I have dark brown clog sandals, so maybe I'll go with dark red. Dark red was an authentic vintage 40s color. I'll have to wear the shoes with more modern pieces so I don't look like I'm in costume. I haven't seen the shoes IRL yet so this is still a wish list item (I have heard they are very comfortable though).

My other reward purchase might be a pinstripe grey suit (with jacket, pants and skirt) similar to the one Angie posted.

Or... I think I may order a dress from Heart My Closet on Etsy (thanks to another YLF thread), so I'm thinking this one: (but I would do it with a swing skirt instead of a wiggle-pencil skirt)

@Suz: check out this denim jacket: looks much better on than in the ebay photos (also a darker indigo color than pictured). It's the exact same jacket as in the photo below. I already bought it when I say the Audra blog post.

For the ladies looking for casual black jackets -- check out your local thrift stores. I picked up 2 recently that have a nipped waist, made of cotton twill. Can't await to wear them.

@Annie: I almost pulled the trigger on a pair of red Born Adeles, but ended up ordering the Fossil Maddoxes instead. They're adorable and comfy, but unfortunately zappos was out of my size :(. Maybe you'll have more luck than me?
