Listening to Take Back the Night (I swear I'll get over him as soon as Part 2 of The 20/20 Experience is released. I hope.)
Ready to be feeling 100% again.
So I'm not a big magazine reader. I don't like wasting my time flipping through ad after ad searching for the one article that caught my eye in the first place. I'd rather find the same article online and read it there. But somehow we've started getting InStyle. My mom plopped the hefty thing in front of me the other night when I was slumped over the kitchen table half-dead. I flipped through about ten pages for her benefit, but I wasn't about to go deep when I could barely hold my head up. Today, though, I did a bit of flipping through, mostly looking at what's hot for fall. And it got me thinking of a few things I'm looking to get.
Black Skater Dress. I desperately want one of these. Not this exact one, as I don't have eighty bucks to spare. But this style for sure. I have but one little black dress, and it's just a little too "little girl" for me. It's adorable, don't get me wrong, just not quite as versatile as I'd like. This cut is the kind that can be dressed up or dressed down, and it's highly flattering.
Pink Ballet Flats. I just bought a cute pair of faux leather quilted nude ballet flats from Forever 21, but I can't turn down a pair in ballet pink with bows. (
bows!) They also come in a caramel color.
Mustard Peacoat. I have two peacoats. One in charcoal grey that flares out a bit that I will wear day in and day out, and another in black that's cut more like this but needs its buttons sewn back on. Last year I was
thisclose to buying either a mustard one or an olive green one at Old Navy when they were having a sale, but I didn't. I've regretted it ever since. This year I
will get one. Preferably in a more mustard yellow, but this one will suffice as an example.
Oxford Heels. I have a pair of faux suede oxford wedges, but they aren't a high enough heel, and frankly, they've seen better days. I would love a pair of actual oxford
heels like these, although cheaper would be nice.
Oxblood Coated Skinnies. Coated jeans started to make their presence known at the very end of this past winter. At least, that's when I started seeing them advertised. I hadn't seen anyone wearing them yet. This year, they're already showing themselves and it's not even September yet. I love this oxblood color and, aside from black, I think it's the best way to wear them.
Which fall trends are you excited about? Tell me in the comments!
All I want right now are a pair of flat booties to wear with jeans or dresses. And maybe some oxfords, but I'm so picky about shoes, there's a big chance I won't find any :)
ReplyDeleteTarget normally has great shoes - and if you don't mind shellin' out the dough, ModCloth has ADORABLE shoes. and clothes. and everything.
