Now that it actually feels like spring, I am thinking about what I want for warm weather:

spring:

nude flat oxfords
clogs
skinny cargos
stretch blazers
leather/suede beaded or studded bracelets
long pendant necklace
floaty woven tops in cotton/silk

summer:

woven dresses
knit dresses for lounging
bangle bracelets (can never have enough of these)
wedge sandals
sleeveless woven tops
replace shorts with smaller as needed

What are you lusting after?

Fun thread! I have been slowly filling warm-weather holes since winter, but here is the complete list (I want to visualize my progress, hehe).

spring:
spring-appropriate boots (pending)
more citron (scored a dress recently, wearing today!)
colored layers (navy and tomato red knit blazers acquired)
white dress pants (pending)

summer:
comfy sandals for walking (got turquoise and pewter options)
turquoise dress (just received the dye to salvage dress currently a bad color for me)
more tank tops... why do I have so many T-shirts when I prefer sleeveless tops??
jade jewelry, since metal irritates my skin when I sweat

I'm keeping an eye out for:

blush chiffon top
floppy sun hat
red necklace
white crop jacket
red pants and/or shorts

But what I really want is my ankle to heal so I can wear my cute shoes!!!

I need:
White cotton dress.

I really shouldn't buy anything else, I have a ton of clothes, but I want:
red pants
polka dot top
powder colored ruffle or lace top
red flats to replace an older pair

I am also looking to replace my black knee high winter boots while the boots are on sale but we'll see about that.

I don't think I can afford anything new at the moment, but I would like:

- a nice spring jacket (the one I have is too warm even though it's small)
- a few simple tops
- a few fancier tops
- a new bikini
- a couple of cute skirts
- a couple of summer dresses
- clothes for exercising outdoors

Really, I would like to throw out almost all of my old clothes and renew my whole wardrobe...

CLOGS!

tracy

Spring/Summer

red jeans (on the way)
a few casual dresses
bathing suit (dread doing this)
some tank tops

I think that's about it for now. I'll see as the weather gets warmer if there is anything more that I need

sinead

Casual woven dresses
lightweight jacket
flat comfy pretty sandals

And this WILL be the summer I get white jeans. First on the list.

This is helpful, Khris. I love seeing what's on other people's wish list, although I'm doing a lot of "oh, yeah, I need that too...."

Weatherwise, though it is April, it is still summery here in Australia right now so I am seeing some holes in my wardrobe. I have spent my summer budget, however so they will have to wait until summer 2011/12

First up - summer sandals - I was wrong to think that I could get by without buying new everyday flat sandals as mine are now very shabby
-white skirt (no patterns)
-woven top with spagetti straps for very hot weather
-knit dress if I can get anther one cheaply (because I so love the one I bought on a whim)

-Wedges (not quite sure what kind yet)
-Denim jacket
-Yellow or green dress
-White shorts
-Floppy hat
-Sunglasses (don't even own one pair!)
-Bikini (preferably plain red or white)

The only reason I even need the last four are because I am hopefully going to LA during the summer for a school elective! Otherwise there is basically no reason for me to own those items. xD

COLORS!! I am working so hard to get out of my black and gray rut!

I have not thought about this yet, but I know I want some white bottoms. I finally crossed a long-term wish list item off my list today. You'd think it would be a snap to find a red patent leather skinny belt, but it took me almost two years. Go figure.

my spring /summer stuff is actually more basic (3 season or all-year):

- Miz Mooz Heather sandal in whiskey
- black ballet flats (replacing)
- rose gold watch (I like Kate's -- see her post)
- rose gold hoop earrings (replacing lost yellow gold)
- navy-white stripe sailor t-shirt (long or 3/4 sleeve)
- just in case: dress to wear to my brother's wedding (I actually want to wear a red vintage 50s one I have, but it doesn't fit at the moment)
- straight-leg dark denim (can't do skinnies) -- preferably thrift or consignment so they're already a little broken in
- LBD (more everyday version)
- black or grey blazer /jacket (with a little stretch to it)

just bought:
- red peacoat-looking sweater /jacket on ebay as a topper

renovations:
- chocolate lace strapless dress into a skirt (don't do strapless)
- cognac leather tote dyed to bronze or chocolate (to cover the wear on it)
- ? olive leather hobo to ? midnight blue (to cover wear again)
- tweaking a vintage 40s daydress (to fit better)

Khris, for the first time in years I don't really know what I want for the coming season I will see what arrests me.

Irene

Red bag For now!! And maybe another jacket, since I know my creamy trench-coat will get super dirty in no time!

Louise

OMG, everybody have such a long list!
Mine is very short:

Blue T-shirt
Nude or beige loafers

@Irene: I admire a short but simple list!!! It makes me smile.
I have a lot of replacements to do and a new clothing size to deal with (most of my clothes are too small right now). Not necessarily going to get it all though.

My list of 5 is now down to 3 - the chiffon top and red pants are on the way! A sun hat, red necklace, and crop white jacket shouldn't be too hard to come by.

Spring:
red bag (the Lucky Brand hobo did not work out)
nude heels (I think that pink blush is the best nude for me)
non-black bootcut dress pants

Summer:
dresses (I missed them too much last summer)
white tote bag
Still the non-black bootcut dress pants

Other than that I might be set. I've been very busy shopping!

Kate

Veteran

I'm pretty much set, and could definitely make it until October (and probably until 2012) without needing anything new, but I'm keeping my eye out for:
- a simple brown tank top (no ribs, no lace)
- a tan (or maybe khaki) cropped jacket/blazer
- dresses
- nice tops

Kyle

Veteran

Hmm. Can't say that I am truly lusting over anything at the moment. If I think about it, I might enjoy something in white...and a comfy, fun pair of sandals. In all honesty, it's 100 degrees here already, and I'm not especially excited about spring and summer.

Ariadne

Veteran

Slip on shoes (Converse or Toms or something like that)
Several comfortable, non-empire-waisted, easy-care dresses that come to at least to the top of the knee, and that allow me to wear a bra
An anorak or lightweight cotton trench (maybe)
Some beach- and playground-worthy sandals (maybe)
A couple of lightweight, colorful scarves, or maybe necklaces, but only if they're cheap or can withstand a still-sporadically-grabby toddler

Kristine

Veteran

I'm still working on my wardrobe and last summer was a little sparse, so I have:

High waisted wide leg jeans/pants
White dress pants
Khaki or light skirt

Wrap or shirt dress

Lightweight jacket/blazer

Wedge or kitten heels
Dressy flats
Sandals (have none)

Cream or white cardigan
Patterned shells or sleeveless blouses

Pendant necklace
Bright scarf, coral?

Yikes!
