But I too am at a point where my foundational wardrobe is pretty good and I just need to keep stocking the go-tos plus a few fresh pieces that make me smile. I think these will be:<br /><br />Another pair of Rag & Bone Newbury boots: these are my Dickers. Something about the Marant footbed doesn't work for me although since you love yours so much and our wardrobes seem to have about an 80% overlap, I may give them another try! I already snagged el cheapo two-tone Zara ankle boots that are pretty rad for a slick look with black jeans or leggings.<br />Inhabit cashmere v-necks - have you tried these? The perfect everything sweater and regular 80% off sales....<br />More Drakes scarves, best scarves ever<br />Another army-ish jacket: I have a great Rag & Bone one but want something more oversized and easy to beat up. This will probably be a Zara type find.<br />A leather skirt. I am after the perfect one.<br />Every F/W season I look for "one great coat". Sometimes I find it, sometimes not. I will say re your peacoat that Rag & Bone is rarely a mistake!! This year for me it may be a color.<br />THIS FALL I WILL WEAR my Westwood kilt that is just so awesome and never leaves the closet!<br />In jewelry, I would like to add a cuff which brings me (bien sûr) to Hermès...ideally it would be the red CDC I just stupidly turned down....so as a finale...<br />....yes, I really think I "need" another Kelly. A workhorse one, in barenia or vache naturel or something. Ahem. <br /><br />Sigh...fall is so much fun!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992528378145716798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-75986684328037918512013-09-07T10:26:29.608-04:002013-09-07T10:26:29.608-04:00Summer is officially over now and I really need to...Summer is officially over now and I really need to think ahead to winter.

I need a new pair of boots- Mars probably because I have to walk around DC so much, an Object & Totem necklace, and a good pair of black slouchy trousers. I have an abundance of dresses, from living in perpetual summer, which I will just wear with thick tights until it gets too cold. I would love a more masculine-cut coat, but that's not as high a priority as the other items I purchased.Jocyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01390360190381241408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-76428532439327523492013-08-31T03:39:39.697-04:002013-08-31T03:39:39.697-04:00I totally agree about fall being the "real&qu...I totally agree about fall being the "real" clothes season. As much as I enjoy summer, I feel that my other clothes have been neglected due to the dress-to-bare-minimum inducing temperature, so I am happy that fall is here and I can wear some of my fav. clothes again!<br />My wishes for this season are ankle boots (from Acne in particular), and a nice grey knit cardi.<br /><br />Looking forward to your next post.indubitablyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754037209365727502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-34829676548098715062013-08-30T14:22:09.445-04:002013-08-30T14:22:09.445-04:00Yes!

I live mostly in t-shirts and shorts all summer (hey, it's hot, and silk and wool just don't handle sweat all that well). Thanks for the Birkenstock Gizeh recommendation, by the way - I found a pair in the correct size and they have quickly become a staple. <br /><br />It seems like a lot of people are really feeling the chunky, cream-colored, oversize fisherman's sweater this fall, as are you. I have a traumatic middle school memory from 1993, in which I bought a beautiful keyhole neckline chunky white sweater, wore in once, and someone managed to spill an entire cup of coffee all over it - who even has coffee in 8th grade? Yikes. Must have been the teacher's mug or something. Anyway, my mother was livid, and I have owned very few white things ever since....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-32449011306640705632013-08-29T12:35:40.743-04:002013-08-29T12:35:40.743-04:00what a timely post, i've been writing out my l...what a timely post, i've been writing out my list as well! i'm eyeing a grey Acne wool scarf, ankle boots (as if i need another pair -- deciding between APC or No 6 clog boots), and perhaps an Everlane silk shirt. i'm also need of some classic black trousers. <br /><br />i bought a cocoon-like zara cardigan online a few days ago, we'll see how that goes. i also bout an APC gabardine coat on sale earlier this summer and i'm looking forward to wearing that when the rain returns to seattle.

Your list made me drool a little bit (in what felt like a mature and responsible way). I have an abundance of little booties, but I have to say I'm craving a new pair. I'm thinking dicker or mars. And I do need another pair of black skinnies too, since mine are on their deathbed. Also needed: oversized slouchy sweater(s). I did just pick up a great coat at Zara, and if you go in for the occasional high street purchase to satisfy a craving, you might consider checking their coats, especially if you don't necessarily "need" a new one... <br /><br />http://www.nomadicd.com/<br />Nomadic D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303665587576888183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-82874367081557314582013-08-29T09:23:23.569-04:002013-08-29T09:23:23.569-04:00With sincerest pleasure!

It's quite sad that some coats/jackets don't even get worn in a year so I tend not to shop for fall pieces. I instead look at everyone else's fall outfits and wish I could join in. Although I think I'm going to add a dark navy blue somewhat light (not chunky) sweater to the mix because I can wear it from October to April.carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946957196789114708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-74296461802035103242013-08-28T13:01:47.219-04:002013-08-28T13:01:47.219-04:00that is very sweet of you, Kim. welcome and please...that is very sweet of you, Kim. welcome and please keep commenting!miss sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09427223953623415005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-23329156885507973632013-08-28T12:35:24.607-04:002013-08-28T12:35:24.607-04:00I've got a hankering for a new coat over the o...I've got a hankering for a new coat over the oversized Marant-ish variety, but I'm really all good for fall.

I've just started blogging myself, and am enjoying the process. I am drawn to minimalist, "clean", elegant style that works for a mom of two teen boys but has a bit of "flair"! A recent (and only!) brief trip to Paris has fueled my love of Emmanuelle Alt, Isabel Marant, and, of course, Ines de la Fressange style! Your photo of Emmanuelle Alt, as well as your impeccable taste and ideas have turned me into a loyal reader and follower. Many thanks!
