Things I want for autumn that may or may not exist

[Usernamenotavailabletryanother]

I’d like a green (proper leaf green) pencil skirt and a flat/low heel pair of red lace up leather or suede boots which aren’t clumpy like DMs. Not to be worn together, I just want some.

I don’t think these things exist!

Any mythical items you want for autumn?

Ooh yes. An enormous, orangey-russet coloured super-soft jumper.

And flawless skin.

I can’t help I’m afraid but am after some wide fit low heel black leather boots like DM’s but more feminine/ less clumpy, look like lace ups but with a zip to get on and off.
I’m a nightmare for shoes, I’ve always got a precise idea of what I want but have really wide feet and need arch support so either need that built in or to fit my insoles in. That makes me sound about 80 but I’m really not!

You might be in luck @FreshApricot these are gorgeous (Size up)

Moshulu are good for coloured boots @Usernamenotavailabletryanother -maybe these might suit you? www.moshulu.co.uk/womens-boots/ladies-ankle-boots

@Usernamenotavailabletryanother Jill at Distinctively Me makes fabulous and very flattering pencil skirts, colour, length at fit to your taste

@SingingWaffleDoggy another Moshulu one www.moshulu.co.uk/product/fiord-2-2469#?variant=15

Or you might prefer the Grove or Bardsey style

I've found Moshulu pretty wide fitting in the main, similar to Clark's wide fit

Thanks Defiantly41, that does look nice! Although I'm really after something a bit less bright and more autumn leaf coloured... and slightly chunkier knit... I realise I'm being extremely fussy

@FreshApricot I have this jumper and I love it.

@StyleDesperation That's lovely. Does it pill much?

A bit but not badly mainly where the arms rub against the sides but I think a pilling comb would work well I'm just lazy about using mine!

@Usernamenotavailabletryanother what about this

Rubyshoesday have a few pairs of red lace-up leather boots in various styles, though they might be too casual for you - [[https://www.rubyshoesdayhebdenbridge.co.uk/womens-shoes-c4/womens-ankle-boots-c12/laura-vita-gucro-lace-up-ankle-boot-p4343#attribute%5B3%5D=24 these are rather nice, I think

@FreshApricot a few more ...

M&S had a couple which might do:

There’s a few more on there actually, they’ve not done too bad on the boot front this year…

Sorry, link fail - these

@Defiantly41, thank you- I should’ve said, I want a true red rather than burgundy for the boots… getting a skirt made might be the only option, just hoped to get something at a less eye-watering price. Appreciate you looking though!

I have these. Very comfortable.www.amazon.co.uk/Hush-Puppies-Vivianna-Womens-Leather/dp/B002MRS0VU/ref=cs_sr_dp_2?crid=3PZ89OLQI9AY&dchild=1&keywords=hush+puppies+women+shoes&qid=1630260172&sprefix=hush&sr=8-3

As red as these? https://www.jonesbootmaker.com/products/patent-lace-up-ankle-boots-rkr32519-319-081

Josef Seidel are often good for colours but their are definitely more wine-red

Good colour- but want something a bit less clumpy…

What about this from Biden?





@SingingWaffleDoggy my niece has just had these from Clarks - they come in wide - would they do? Much nicer in the flesh.

I got a pair exactly like this from Clark's last year. They're bound to have them again this year.

Pencil skirt? www.silkfred.com/boutiques/moe/clothing/green-knee-length-back-split-pencil-skirt

@MadameMinimes yes I found that too, it's lovely isn't it! Gorgeous green, if only pencil skirts suited me...

Ooh I love this thread! I'd like a low cost, low maintenance dark coloured jumper dress to wear with brown boots

@StyleDesperation Oops, sorry. I thought I’d looked at all the links already posted. It’s a really lovely skirt. If there wasn’t already a running joke about the amount of green I wear I’d have bought it myself. 😂
