I have been thinking about fall a lot lately. I hate to see summer go, especially because this one has been a busy one for my husband and me. We haven't really had time to get outside and really soak it all up and he starts a new semester next Monday! Anyway, I don't know what it is, but last year as well as this year, I start thinking about fall in August. Sometimes I think I am done, DONE, with shopping. But apparently I still want more. Here are some things that have been on my mind. I will probably work on getting quite a few of these.
So, a rundown of this year's list:
1) I really want to get into smaller handbags. I have only been using one handbag for over a year now. Just one. That I use for/with everything. Not only am I sick of my current bag, but I am tired of having a huge hobo bag that inevitable fills up and gets heavy. This oversize clutch is great.
2) I need an evening clutch, too.
3) I still don't own a perfect LBD. I would like to have one, I don't know, someday.
4) I also need a simple, sleek black turtleneck.
5) I just cannot get over my love for a good trouser jean.
6) Still would like to find my perfect skinny jean. Note: Levi's have just come out with some new sizes - slight curve, demi curve, bold curve, just for a woman's proportions!
7) I would like some kind of smallish, bag like this cognac one. Brown, rustic-looking, classic fall, to me. Perfect with jeans and a plaid shirt.
8) Ah, the search continues for a perfect green pump. This one looks like it would work with nearly anything.
9) I used to have a pair of simple pink ballet flats that I loved (and wore out. to death). I want a replacement. Maybe this time I'll kick it up a notch and go for something embellished.
10) I need some fun scarves. That is all.
11) Love this chalcedony ring. Love.
12) For some reason I've really been into chain-y bracelets like this for a while. I want.
13) This bag I have been wanting and eying for a long time. So lady-like and classic.
14) Flat cognac boots. Enough said.
15) I am ready to take the plunge into booties. When they first came out a few seasons ago, I thought they looked ridiculous. Last year I started to warm up to them and now I am obsessed. Is that bad? To join the trend late? Hopefully they stick around for a few more seasons...
16) I have never been super into hats, although I do occasionally think they work for me. Lately every time I try on a fedora, I love it on me. I might need one.
And there you have it! My fall 2010 wish list. Sheesh, this thing is long and intimidating, no?
