Autumn Wishlist
Now that it is officially fall and I can finally get my brain in gear for fall outfits, I thought I might share with you some inspiration that I’m finding from other bloggers, and also a list of garments IÂ need to find for the coming season!
1. A red skirt. I have wanted a red skirt for ages, but Marlen from Messages on a Napkin reminded me how much I absolutely need one. That, and a great mix of blouses I can layer. I don’t have enough blouses.
2. As illustrated by Veronika of Girl and Closet, and Teika of Selective Potential… I really, really need a yellow skirt for fall. Seriously. It’s an amazing color, and I don’t have many good solid colored skirts in my closet. (For real. Out of the 38 skirts I own, only four of them are solid.)
3. A good, workable blazer. (I just found Marlen via her comment on my last post, and I already love her style, by the way.) I have never been a blazer girl, but I think it’s something everyone should have– a blazer that goes with everything, has a flattering cut, and works with the style you have. I’m currently trying to become more office-esque (there’s no dress code at work, but I think it’s more appropriate to look professional than artsy) and 1940’s esque, and a good blazer will help in both regards!
4. Animal printed… everything, really. No, not leopard or tiger or zebra print; actual animals printed on clothes.  I’m especially fond of Meanz’s cat-print blouse. I have always loved these types of items, and now that its’ a trend, I can’t WAIT to get my closet full of shirts and dresses and skirts with cats or owls or foxes all over them. (I went and snatched up the last fox-print sweater at my Target the other day. LOVE.)
5. Patterned tights! (click on the images to be taken to their posts) I bought some heart-print tights from Modcloth the other day (my very first Modcloth purchase!) but I’ll be saving them to war for my wedding. In the meantime, I plan to fill my tights drawer with all sorts of colors and patterns.
So, what are you hoping to get for your fall wardrobe? What trends are you excited for?
I hope you are all having a lovely Wednesday!

I have a red skirt and wear it all the time! Totally worth it. I too am looking for blouses and tights. You just can’t have enough! 🙂

I have been on the lookout for a good red skirt for ages! I haven’t found the perfect one yet, though.
Target has a great collection of tights right now!

great post–i have yellow skirt and get tons of compliments every time i wear it…so cute!
Eccentric Owl
I wish I had one! At least now that it’s getting into fall, it might be easier to find yellow/mustard!

I’m looking for way more patterned tights because they’re an absolute staple. I think some blouses would be nice to own, especially silky ones because I’m incredibly tactile and don’t like anything that doesn’t feel nice! I’m also looking for big jumpers and a tartan skirt 🙂
Eccentric Owl
They definitely are! I’ve been seeing more and more patterns pop up online, and it makes me happy.

those little brown oxfords with the heel are super cute! I love them with the polka dot tights 🙂 These are such cute looks for fall!
Eccentric Owl
Aren’t they? I need to replicate that look soon!

I think I would wear a cat-print dress all the time, too!

I am right with you on needing a red skirt and more blouses. It’s interesting how important the transition in clothes seem to be for fall.

Isn’t it? I haven’t ever been a seasonal dresser until this year; suddenly I just want all fall colors and fabrics!

I so cannot wait for tights weather. There’s nothing better than some good tights. Beyond that, I really want a red skirt too–I have a red patterned skirt, but I want a solid one. I’m really unwilling to settle though because red’s my favourite colour, so it needs to be the perfect red skirt for me to buy it!
Eccentric Owl
Yes! It’ll be good. I’m saving up to go raid Target’s tights section and buy one of each color or pattern.
I agree. It’s really hard for me to find a red skirt that is the perfect color; red is my favorite color, too. So it might be a while before I find the right one.

agreed with everything!!
