Anyone else thinking fall wardrobe?

Not me, haha, I would live in summer clothes all year! I love shorts, t-shirts, flip flops and wear them as long as I possibly can. I haven't been able to find jeans that look decent on me. I don't like the feel of "tight" clothes, so that's part of the problem. I wear sweats way too much in the winter because jeans make me feel so uncomfortable. It's to the point that I dread going anywhere I have to look nice for in the winter. I feel so much more confident in my summer clothes. I really need to move to Florida!

I am already sad about summer being almost over. I countdown until spring!

I’m ready! Fall is my favourite season and I LOVE fall clothes. I’ve been buying lots of cashmere and need a couple pairs of boots. I also ordered a cute hat yesterday, a black rancher with a tan band. Fall can’t get here soon enough 🍂🍁🍂

I posted about a month ago about that Wool& 100 day dress challenge.  I ended up ordering a dress and it has been on back order until August 27.  I did join the Facebook group because my curiosity was peaked.  And I've been pleasantly surprised by the group.  It's really a fun, supportive crowd over there.  I've decided that I'm going to try the challenge with the idea that it will be something of a social science experiment.  I don't know if I will make it 100 days.  In the interest of sustainability (which I have been learning a lot about), I've decided not to purchase anything else to go with my dress but just to use what is already in my closet.  I do need a new pair of black or gray shoes suitable for fall/winter (unless I wear boots) so I may buy myself a new pair of shoes.  I'm waiting for Jambu to release their fall line. Jambu are my favorite shoes. And I did order myself some new tights as Michigan weather practically demands it in a dress in winter and all my existing tights (I wear dresses a lot) were a bit worn.  Next weekend, I'm planning on sorting my clothes closet.  I will donate things that do not fit and organize everything I think will go with my dress. I'm rather looking forward to this challenge.  I'm curious to see if I can stick with it.   

I am excited to follow your journey!

It's roughly the temperature of the surface of the sun here. I picked up a couple of light, cool dresses to add to my school wardrobe in the end of summer clearances. Other than that, I'm committed to no clothing purchases until the weather gets cool - usually around November, but no guarantees.

What is this "fall" of which you speak?

Fall lasts about 1 day here, so, no a fall wardrobe is not an idea for me.

I am ready for Fall! I have one more summer trip and then I will officially be in fall mode. I love Fall clothes.

I was at the Galleria last week and saw lots of denim chore coats. Also saw lots of clogs, and heels on boots. Chore Coat Example

I ordered 2 more pairs of Vuori joggers last night 😂

I’ve got plenty of fall clothes the only thing I’m thinking of getting is a new pair of low boots/booties.

Me,me,me! Fall is my most favorite time of the year. I love everything fall. I especially love fall clothes. I’m on the look out for a sexy/edgy pair of shoes/booties with spikes on them. Although, they will have to be platform or wide heels because I never learned how to walk in heels (not the goth looking shoes). I never found those giant pussybow blouses I was looking for last year so those would be nice too. Maybe they are out of style but I don’t care. I’m dressing for me and I find them cute.

yeah here also.

I did buy two pairs of jeans during back to school shopping. My girls have been buying jeans in the men's dept for a couple of years now and I love my new jeans - I've NEVER had to only try on one pair to find jeans that fit. And they have pockets - good pockets - and they are long enough without being too long (I'm 5'8" 32" inseam - regular are too short, tall are too long). They might not be fashionable but they fit!  (and the girls report they last longer also - better denim).

I have some fabric and some pdf patterns but no sewjo...

It doesn’t start cooling off around here until mid September at the earliest. However, around September 1st, I start wearing short sleeved, cotton tops in Fall colors, olive being my favorite. I have several light weight dresses in Fall colors that I wear as well. 

While I agree that high rise jeans and wide legs are really hot right now, I noticed that there were a lot of skinny (not super skinny) and straight mid-rise jeans in the Nordstrom Anniversary sell, so I don’t think they are out of style. I think this is a great time to wear the style of jeans which flatters your body the most. 

I'm doing another closet purge and thinking of really pairing down since I don't wear half of what I own. For fall and winter I tend to layer my tanks and summer tees under a cardigan. I don't like heavy sweaters so the ones I do have are more lightweight. I also own a nice selection of bootcut, skinny, ankle, joggers and legging bottoms. I bought several pairs of booties last year that I still really like so I shouldn't buy anymore shoes. I'm also good with my fall and winter coats.

I can understand that. I am working a hybrid situation in an office so I don't anticipate getting too germy/smelly and I can wash it and hang it on my line overnight to dry without a problem and on the regular.

I went with the charcoal gray because I felt it was a very versatile color for the challenge. I did order my DD one of these dresses after she expressed interest in one. It came yesterday and it is a very nice dress. So even no challenge, I think it might be worth your while to try a dress if you liked them. Very soft and comfortable.
