I just ordered eggplant, dark teal, and black cheetah print skinnies on Friday. I also snagged the Nordstrom black leather peplum top from the Anniversary Sale. I'm set on boots, tights, moto jackets (got a pink and black, olive and black, and a solid cream), and sweater dresses. I wouldn't mind more Lulu Wunder Unders for the fall and winter as well as another scuba hoody, but I'm waiting on their Limited Editions. I'm also eyeing another custom hockey jersey for the season. I want a yellow Preds one, but need a name and number. I want a second Detroit one too since I want another name and number. I'm also trying to fit some leopard print into my closet since it's lacking.
Kind of S&B related, I'm looking for a fun helmet to race in for September. I want something girly since we're working on getting more women into our league. I'm thinking pink to go with my heavy moto jacket. I also need new driving shoes since my current ones are beat down and will probably be my rainy day shoes. DH promised me the gear for when I broke 60 seconds on the track which I did in my first race! I had to drop 25 seconds in one day, but I did it!

Things on my shopping list Dark wash skinnies Tunic tops Chambray top A few dresses/skirts to wear to my teaching practicum Tan knee boots Scarves Red flats A LV tote
FCG: 1. Where did you find your skinnies? 2. Do you wear your LLL Wunder Unders for errands/out or just need more for working out? 3. Congrats on your times!

Acorn: I'm looking for red flats too...
Thanks! I was shocked that I broke it since it was my first race and my regular car. I was kind of nervous since it's my regular car and I didn't think insurance would like the whole racing thing if I got into an accident. Lol!
The skinnies are all from 6PM. As much as I hate the rise on them, I love the NYDJ legging/jegging/skinny styles since I usually wear them with tunic length sweaters or my tunic length chambray shirt. They cover the pockets and make the rise less noticeable. They are always real denim though which is another thing I don't compromise on for skinnies. They were all fall colors though and 60% off. ETA: These jeans need to be sized down to fit right. They look like hell on the videos because they went with the true size and not one down like the label suggests.
I wear the Wunder Unders to work out and run errands. I have several colors and materials. I use the pique ones for errands since they are more cotton in that type of Luon. My favorites are the reversible ones that go from black to brown. I also have charcoal.
I've been looking for the perfect blue for a long time...IRL it is supposed to be slightly darker. Now if I can just find it!!!! Grrr
It's actually more towards navy than cobalt. I have the Veronica Slouch boots in that exact leather and color. I wear them with my Nashville Predators jersey and it's closer to that than cobalt/royal blue. That picture is very heavily lit.

A moto jacket Dark red or cranberry skinnies Leather look leggings Chambray shirt
I'm going to a huuuuge outlet mall in a couple weeks so I'm hoping to knock some of these out then. Target has a beautiful leather jacket in their look book for their upcoming shoppes collection so I may hold out for that one.

Navy is good, as long as it isn't almost black....if that makes sense

It's more blue than black, but not quite as bright as the photo if that makes sense. I get a lot of compliments on the boots and they don't show a lot of wear since there's some irregularities in the color. I'd take a pic, but they never show up the true color in photos since a flash or natural light brightens the color distorting the actual shade. I saw a very similar bag in a different color during the Anniversary Sale and loved it immediately. I hope you can track it down. I love all of my Frye stuff.
for those who bought the sweaters (like j.crews) from ON. Did you have to size up or down, or were they true to size?
I'm usually a small or medium, but sometimes at Old Navy i have to go with small because medium is too big on me. I'm ordering these online so would appreciate knowing!

I am wanting some heeled Oxfords or heeled Chukka-style boots. The ones I am looking at are from Born...if I go with the boots, they are the Fina in Canoe. They are a great brown color and would be worn all the time!
I need a new pair of knee-high riding boots, in brown or cognac. I'm also looking for a new pair of flats, but I'm super picky when it comes to flats so we'll see what I can find. I am thinking about a pair of dark teal jeans. And I need a few more fun sweaters, I'm thinking something with a draped shape, or other interesting detail, something I can dress up or down easily.

Number one on the list is cognac boots. I'm having a helluva time finding a pair with a moderate heel that'll fit my beast/runner calves :-(
Eight more pounds and I'm splurging on two pairs of premium denim. And a new pair of trouser jeans. I also need a pair of black leggings, my current pair are nearly threadbare. A red scarf and a pair of chalcedony earrings round out my list.
Jenn- thanks to you, I ended up going to Francesca's and I ended up buying jewelry.... and they were definitely NOT B1G1 50% off but oh well... bought a few necklaces and 4 pairs of earrings.
