Re: What Items Will You Be Adding To Your Fall Wardrobe?

[ Edited ]

Only two items, but seemingly impossible to find:

 

1:  A nice calf length wool/cashmere coat, in camel, not double-breasted, no synthetic.

 

 

2:  2 pair of “riding” boots, solid color, 1 x to 1 1/2 flat heel, classic style.  I need a wide in boots, but NOT wide in the calf!  One pair black, one British Tan.  I had beautiful Etienne Aigner, but sadly wore them to bits.

 

It doesn’t seem that this would be SO hard, but I’m lost!  🧐🤔😦

Hi @Drythe

I don't have any suggestions for the coat, but I used to have the most wonderful riding-style boots from Joan and David in the early 90s.  Tall, black, exquisite leather, flat heels, with small criss-crossed straps around the ankle area as the only point of interest.  I can't find a picture online to show you.

Due to RA's damage to several joints in my feet, I finally gave them to my DD.  I loved those boots.

Anyway, it occurs to me that you might find a vintage pair you'd love, provided you can find your size.

I need a cardigan, would really like to have a long duster, semi-heavy.  It would be my winter coat.  I need a couple of pullover sweaters and I need socks, all my socks went belly up last winter.


@Imaoldhippie

Not sure what you want when it comes to socks but HSN has a great deal on the Copper Fit that are supposed to be really good for your circulation.

RA!  Exactly my problem.  I need the wide width in boots due to multiple surgeries, and the pressure from the all around, encasing fit of a boot, but NOT in my calf!  The wide calf makes me look like I'm wearing waders.  Sorry for the loss of your old friendly, classic boots - hopefully DD brings them to visit occasionally.

 

Thanks for the idea, I'll start looking around in the vintage areas.

 

I think of you often and hope you are well and in good spirits.

 

 I confess that I am, and no doubt will be suffering from the loss of my beloved, baby, and his brother who died 8 weeks later.  I knew they would not survive long without one another.  {{{HUGS}}}

I usually wear leggings with boots and a nice top.  I would like to get some more bear paw boots in different colors.  I really do not wear dresses in the winter.

I love fall clothes and colors.  There is absolutely nothing that I need BUT I purchased anyway.  Just got Susan Graver's LK tops with the rib trim because of the colors - plum raisin, green jasper, ginger spice and 4 pair of her printed liquid knit pants - fall colors.  Bought Belle's long cardigan in bordeaux.  Issac's vivid plum pants and vivid plum bell sleeve top (also bought the dark green one).  Love my fall colors.  I am on the look out for long cardigans - not true 39-41 inch duster length, but more like 35-37".  Not really looking for anything in particular, but I know something(s) will catch my eye.

Re: What Items Will You Be Adding To Your Fall Wardrobe?

I donated bags of old sweaters, coats, etc, last week.  I won't replace everything, but do need a couple new sweaters and a pair of black shooties to wear with black jeans.  Every season there are less and less items in my closets and drawers -- this is a good thing!
