What Transitional Pieces Are You Buying For Fall?

Chic · Marc Jacobs

The only piece that I have picked up so far are some leopard print pointy toe flats that I searched for all over last year and then I really want a red leather tote.

cat · Marc Jacobs

They are not exectly transitionsl peices and I have not bought them yet,but I will list what I want for fall.

Shoes something like this.

These rainboots.

A Jacket like this.

One of these two dresses.

jj · Kate Spade

i'm having a hard time posting pics, so I'll describe what's on my list:

- everything from the August JCrew catalog

especially the cuffed trousers, the short sleeved ruffled blouse in spiced wine, a cashmere cardigan to throw over tees and camis, trouser cords

- cheetah print wrap dress from banana republic

- trouser jeans

- metallic ballet flats, probably from cole haan

- a few other short sleeve or three quarter sleeve dresses

- low-heeled tall boots in brown

The weather doesn't cool down here until Nov-Dec, so I try to buy lightweight things in fall-ish colors.

dangergirl · Kate Spade

i must stop spending... but i would like to buy a pair of flat black boots, a dark grey or black hooded cardigan, blouses, and some jewellery

ViViDogWear · Kate Spade

I don't really shop for a season. I just buy as I go. But here's a few things (or types of things) I'm on the lookout for.

Cara Accessories Chain Link Ribbon Headband

My coworker has a couple of headbands like this in red and white (leather). These are satin or grosgrain (and $42 - for a headband?)

Perfect for all our skiing/snowboarding trips (my short uggs will need to be retired soon)

Some fun (but affordable) jewelry like these:

I'd love a new fitted leather jacket (maybe brown or grey?)

Oversized sweaters

and some updated pieces for work and play:

I love those headbands! What website are they from? I agree about the $42 part.

tina242 · Kate Spade

Subwolley - those headbands are from Nordstrom.

lynnie · Chanel

hoping to get this cardigan from our showroom..

I would like more cardigans, a couple more pairs of jeans (at least one skinny pair for boots), and another pair of riding boots (i wore my pair to the ground). I'd also like a riding jacket/blazer in this vein:

i really love fall clothes (especially plaids/menswear pieces) so I can't wait.

Bastet · Kate Spade

I've bought some cute dresses that I can wear to work with boots or heels and two bags. I think the piece I'll use the most is a black short sleeved cable sweater from BCBG. I can wear it over short sleeve shirts, and it looks nice over long sleeve blouses for when it gets colder. I plan on picking up a pair of wide leg jeans, but they're something I have to try on IRL instead of ordering online.

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

Shopoholic, why did you have to post tht Gucci bag? OMG I love it!!

Kelly · Hermes

nothing too extraordinary - I just picked up a few new cardigans yesterday and I plan on buying more flats (and then boots) as the weather gets colder and I can't wear espadrilles anymore. I figure that investing in cardis and more fall-ish shoes will help my summer drops/dresses last a bit longer. Maybe I'll post specifics if I find some really exciting pieces :)

FashionPrincess · Hermes

So far this is what I've gotten for that pesky "it's fall but not really cold" weather.

This knit cardi by Splendid from Anthro in blue (can't post pics, the site is flash now, boo!):

Knit dresses w/ 3/4 sleeves:

Brown patent wedges:

This embroidered locket from UO, which is so pretty and totally looks vintage. I love the rich colors in it.

Also, some tees in fall colors like teal, purple and short sleeve sweater tunics.

Like, Halleybird we really don't have fall here either. It stays hot, and then suddenly gets cold. I have wanted to make this dress for awhile after seeing it on Demi Moore last year. I saw Michelle Pfeiffer wearing a solid black one exactly like it on Jay Leno last night so I had to have it. I ordered the pattern and this fabric:

I think it will be a good transitional piece. I haven't been too motivated to sew lately because I can barely walk through my sewing room it is such a catastrophe. Also, I love this gap dress, but $69.50 is too pricey for that dress (for me), so I am going to attempt to make it out of some blue fabric and get me some zebra flats to wear with it.

I WANT THIS BADLY. No pic since it is anthro. Why is it that I would be willing to pay $150ish for this from anthro but not that gap shirtdress above?
