What Are You Buying for Fall?

[circa1978]

Clothes, shoes and accessories...links welcome. :-) I need some new clothes and fall is my least favorite, because it can swing from 45 to 80 in a day and I always feel over or under dressed somehow. 

[ssmjlm]

I think I'm going to get a couple things from LL Bean:

Pullover: www.llbean.com/llb/shop/119312?page=quilted-quarter-zip-pullover&bc=&feat=quilted%20pullover-SR0&csp=a&searchTerm=quilted%20pullover&pos=1

Vest: www.llbean.com/llb/shop/121522?page=mountain-classic-down-vest-misses&bc=&feat=down%20vest-SR0&csp=a&searchTerm=down%20vest&pos=4

And I've been eyeing these booties from Sorel: www.zappos.com/p/sorel-evie-ii-chelsea-taffy-gum-2/product/9875798/color/920374

[slbride2003]

I just bought a faux leather jacket I think I will get a lot of wear out of.
www.revolve.com/mobile/blanknyc-leather-jacket-in-lunch-date/dp/BLAN-WO358/?d=Womens&itrownum=2&itcurrpage=1&itview=01

And I got some jeans from Madewell when they ran their $50 off a few weeks ago.

I need to get a few tops.

[midwestmama]

I got these joggers from Banana Republic Factory in steel green (with the thought that I can wear them to work as well as at home or a casual outing; I also have a pair in black from a season or two ago): bananarepublicfactory.gapfactory.com/browse/product.do?pid=536089021&vid=1&tid=bfpl000003&kwid=1&ap=7&gclid=92921696dccc1f473dfe739e77b9f92b&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=92921696dccc1f473dfe739e77b9f92b&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=BRFS_BR-X_US_Women%27s_X_DCM_CVR_X_X_X&utm_term=4582970626511685&utm_content=BRFS_Brand_US_Women%27s_Clothing_Bottoms#pdp-page-content

I just got these pants from Marc O'Polo (when I was in Poland on a work trip, so I've never ordered online): www.marc-o-polo.com/en-us/p/lulea-slim-trousers-made-from-stretchy-velvet-M08007911021_847

I also got this sweater from Marc O'Polo: www.marc-o-polo.com/en-us/p/sweater-with-rice-grain-structure-made-from-soft-organic-cotton-M08600660153_438

I bought this jacket while on my work trip too: www.tatuum.com/en/woman/clothes/coats-jackets/ladies-bomber-jacket-bambina,p-29979 (not sure if you can shop this to the US, but sharing for the style of something I just bought)

[devonpow]

I got a few oversized sweater vest things I’m loving. Loafers and Mary janes are big - I got some cute loafers but am having trouble finding Mary janes I want that are also not $$$$$

It seems like cropped/sleeveless outerwear for layering is in. I’m debating a cropped puffer vest.

[devonpow]

Oh and I saw a few things I liked at Eileen Fisher. Sooooo I guess me being in my mid 40s has caught up to my shopping habits

[deadwing]

I really like this in the antique lilac color, but that color isn't available in plus. Sigh. www.llbean.com/llb/shop/118673?page=signature-chamois-tunic-plaid&bc=12-27-607-506332&feat=506332-GN3&csp=f&pos=12

[eb777888]

This dress is insanely flattering. I love it so much. Swing dresses usually don't work on me because I have really big boobs so they make me look pregnant but this one is insanely flattering. I got it in maroon, green, black and the floral one. I wore the green one with heeled nude sandals this past weekend but can't wait to wear it with booties and knee high boots. Size down.

I have these boots. They are all I wear in the winter. Cute and functional!

[Deleted]

I'm still living in leggings and tanks but will switch over to long sleeve t's and flannel as it gets cooler.

Earlier today I ordered some new leggings from the Skechers site. They're having 25% off the whole site (Code: SAVE25).

[sdlaura]

I had some time to kill a couple times last week between out of town work meetings, so I did some in-person shopping.

I love these two dresses from Loft (already wore the black one and got compliments):

www.loft.com/clothing/dresses/catl000013/762228.html?priceSort=DES

And I also bought a top (in the black print) and dress from Old Navy:

[Bernadine]

I need a dress to wear to a Sunday afternoon engagement party, if anyone feels like shopping! FSIL specified that it’s cocktail attire.

[eb777888]

And just a reminder that the cashmere sweaters from Quince are very reasonably priced and soooo cute and flattering.

[krystee]

I got this dress from Target and have had lots of compliments! I love the color.

Ok, I have a random question here. I see the floral color is called Garden Of Secrets (Match It Back).

What does "Match It Back" mean? At first I thought it meant the pattern would line up at the back seam, but it very much does not. The other print also has the same parenthetical and also does not line up (although it is harder to tell because it's leopard print).

[pierogigirl]

I just ordered three pairs of Rothys - two ballet flats and one slip on sneaker. My Tieks have stopped being comfortable across my big toe so I'm switching to something with a little give.

I ordered an oversized tunic turtleneck sweater from Amazon (I ordered two of the same last year and they've held up well). When it's colder, I'll wear them with leggings and boots or Rothys link

I ordered a dress from JJill. I will wear with black tights and clogs. It was too expensive, but it's lightweight and flattering- link

And a jersey knit jumpsuit from Natural Life - I wore it with a jean jacket and clogs and got lots of compliments.

I haven't spent this much on myself in a long, long time and I wored a lot extra this summer, so I splurged.

These are usually pieces that have matching kids items.

[deadwing]

This thread caused me to take another look at LL Bean and I just ordered this in dark periwinkle. It's not quite as pretty as the other color, but I will get more use out of a hoodie anyhow. And a new pair of squam lake slippers because I've worn most of the fluff out of mine.

Ohhhhhhh. Thank you!

[Whitecaps]

I need new, larger sneakers for my current season of life because I broke my ankle and swelling/surgical scars have left me with only one pair of shoes I can fit into at the moment. So far I went a little crazy during the Allbirds sale and also picked up some Adidas Cloudfoams on sale.

I also have $40 in free money from Torrid burning a hole in my pocket, but can't decide how I want to use it.

I have the same ones and love them. Warning for anyone who has a cat though, their claws will poke holes in them very easily.

Following the thread because I need more pants.

I just got this in mustard, I requested the sleeves and length be increased and the neckline lowered. I feel so fancy wearing it even though it's so simple.

[eb777888]

I need some knee high black boots, any recommendations? I also need black heels for a Halloween costume (dressy heels). My H was all "you have NO black heels? How is that possible?" lol, I have no idea. I'll probably go to DSW and find the heels, but I haven't found a pair of knee high boots that I like in black for the past several years.

I have these in black and half my staff now own them because I rave about them so much.  

I'm buying them in camel this year.  So comfortable, waterproof, and are cute enough to wear with many outfits.

I bought 10 items from Anthropologie and Free People. None of which are sold in the actual brick and mortar stores in my town. Which means I'll most likely be returning 8 of the items.

I got this in this green color and the red. Which might be a bit too Little Red Riding Hood. I don't see that color available anymore, so hopefully my shipment includes it!

www.freepeople.com/shop/all-i-need-cozy-hooded-kimono/?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=033&searchparams=q%3Dhooded&type=REGULAR&size=One%20Size&quantity=1

This skirt that will probably be wayyyy tooo short

www.freepeople.com/shop/we-the-free-micro-mini-suede-skort/?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=221&searchparams=q%3Dskirt&type=REGULAR&quantity=1

This dress that I already own in two other colors

www.freepeople.com/shop/misha-mini-dress/?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=043&searchparams=q%3Dmini%2520dress&type=REGULAR&quantity=1

A pair of earrings.

I bought a couple pairs of Maeve wide legged cropped pants in petite so hopefully they work out and don't look ridiculous on me since I'm super short.

I bought a couple Nation shirts that are nice enough to pair with the pants for work.

I bought a new pair of Frye black riding boots because mine have holes in the soles.

I had to stop myself from buying more coats. I do not need more, but I love them.

I need more sweaters and skirts. I may try Quince for solid, basic sweaters.

I have these boots in two colors.  I'm someone who almost always wear flats (usually Birkenstocks or Vans) and I can wear these all day comfortably.

I forgot I also got this long vest that I LOVE for DS’s hockey games. I am not ready to break out my winter coat yet but need something in the ice rink that covers my butt.

I hated it when I opened it but once I steamed it I was very happy.

[arehopsveggies]

I need pants that aren’t jeans (we aren’t supposed to wear jeans… it is zero percent enforced but I try not to do it every day). I am short but right on the edge where petite doesn’t work. I can’t do buttons so I need elastic waste/pull on.

Usually I get athleta pants but I’m cringing at the prices right now for the more winter-y pants.

[sadlebred]

I got these in Navy:

www.doversaddlery.com/ne-perfect-fit-short-wellie/p/X1-381562/

These are on order:

I also bought these in beige:

I hear the equestrian look will be big this year.
