Fall Style Wish List: Plaid, Funky And Fuzzy

Remember the secret to making a wish: you wish for more wishes. I’m not too greedy, I have only a handful of wishes for my Fall/Winter wardrobe.

When the cool weather finally comes to the south, I like to add a couple of new pieces. I am not a trend-follower (and never a trend-setter, unless you count the ugly pants). If something is trendy and I love it anyway (like fringe), I will go for it. And wear it long after the trend disappears.

I occasionally shop retail for my seasonal add-ons, because the selection is good. I’ll also be shopping the thrifts, consignments stores, and eBay, to save some $$ and to recycle.

Here are my wishes this year:

1. A plaid blanket scarf, wrap, poncho, or cloak. This will be a perfect topper in mild winter. The traditional red plaids attract me most, and these will go well over all my tees and jeans and boots.

2. Doc Martens or other sturdy oxfords/booties, in a bold print. I started loving personality shoes about four years ago, when I began blogging – coincidence?

I like shoes with personality. Left, right.

3. Japanese style wrap trousers. I wrote last week about my recent obsession with Japanese minimalist clothing. These trousers are by American designer Eileen Fisher, but they reflect the aesthetic. I’d pair them with a personality oxford or bootie.

I am currently obsessed with this look (except the shoes): the Japanese minimalist style.

4. A faux fur/suede/shearling vest. I don’t know what’s taking me so long to decide – I’ve wanted one for a year. Which is your favorite?

I gotta get one into my life. From upper left: patchwork vest; black gilet; faux shearling vest; funnel collar ivory vest.

Stay fabulous,

  1. You are lucky to live in a place that doesn’t get really cold – we have just had our first significant snowfall, and it was a challenge to figure out what to wear. I love those wrap pants, and “personality” boots. I bought a big shawl/wrap on sale in the summer and it has been the best thing to layer over a light coat. I like the black furry vest, but one of the lighter coloured ones may work better with the colours in your wardrobe.

  2. Oh sad – you can ask Santa for some new ones. I love that rugged look mixed with a full skirt. xox

  3. When I see this I’m sad I gave away my Dr. Martens about 10 years ago. They are fabulous boots. The red ones you’ve featured really catch my eye.
