Things I want for autumn that may or may not exist

Usernamenotavailabletryanother · 29/08/2021 17:57

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?

@NoraEphronsNeck

What about this from Biden?

Is it a burka?

Great username, btw.

TottieMarchpane · 29/08/2021 22:12

Red bootsBit of a heel though

MadameMinimes · 29/08/2021 22:12

@stayathomer jumper dress? All of the 3D knit stuff that I’ve bought in the past washes really well and is very low maintenance for knitwear.

Thanks @StyleDesperation and @MadameMinimes- I’m a size 16, do you know if Silkfred comes up small? It’s a lovely skirt, although the colour is a little dark.

Really want flat red boots or a lower heel- I’m afraid both of those are too high.

Very much appreciate the links though Smile

@stayathomer

Ooh I love this thread! I'd like a low cost, low maintenance dark coloured jumper dress to wear with brown boots
What colour and budget are you looking for @stayathomer?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It may just be a case of ordering a few pairs out of these and seeing what fit my wonky, fat feet the best!

stayathomer · 30/08/2021 05:26

Thanks @MadameMinimes ! Not totallysure the shape would be for me but thanks so much! Usernamenotavailabletryanother I'm looking for as low as possible and grey/blue or any dark colour would be great

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/08/2021 08:45

I have some perfect black lace up boots from Seasalt, but they don't seem to be doing them anymore, annoyingly. Agree with others that Clarks will be worth a look.

Loving all the burnt orange.

I'm still looking for:
Black, short, slouchy jumper dress
Tweed pencil skirt with some sort of pleat detail
Grey flannel wide (but not too wide) trousers
Grey v neck slouchy jumper, ideally in a silk cotton mix or merino at a push

tshirtsuntan · 30/08/2021 09:06

I would like some blue suede pull on, flat, slouchy ankle boots please. Like the office "festival boots" but blue.. thank you Wink

Defiantly41 · 30/08/2021 13:22

@tshirtsuntan the Moshulu Pipistrelle come in navy or a very bright cobalt blue www.moshulu.co.uk/product/pipistrelle-2-1611#?variant=21

Josef Siebel have plant of blue ankle boots but no slouchy pull-ons

These might work if you are ok with wedges www.johnlewis.com/white-stuff-suede-ruched-wedge-heel-ankle-boots-navy/p5380238

RosesAndHellebores · 30/08/2021 13:29

I would like a heavy knit, but not too heavy, fitted cardigan, top of thigh length, available in deep, pretty colours.

Effybriest · 30/08/2021 13:46

@Usernamenotavailabletryanother what about josef seibel, they have loads of brightly coloured ankle boots.

Effybriest · 30/08/2021 13:47

@Defiantly41 just seen your post re josef seibel Blush

Defiantly41 · 30/08/2021 14:09

@RosesAndHellebores you might need to wait a couple of weeks before the main cardigan drops for autumn/winter, a lot of stock is still summer cover-up style.

This is a gorgeous colour, may not be quite long enough www.johnlewis.com/baukjen-adeline-greencash-cardigan-raw-sienna/p5699557

Possibly a better length? www.johnlewis.com/baukjen-deryn-longline-cardigan-pink-twist/p5705976

This one is confusingly named www.johnlewis.com/and-or-alex-textured-knit-cardigan/p5645895

And whoever named this deserves an award for making it sound lush, was there ever a better combination of words tha butterscotch and cashmere? www.johnlewis.com/allsaints-kady-cashmere-cardigan-butterscotch/p5704009

Last one, a lovely forest green www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-partners-soft-longline-v-neck-cardigan/p5659820

RosesAndHellebores · 30/08/2021 14:15

Thank you for the links. Those are all what I'd call unstructured slouchy casual cardigans rather than fitted and smart.

RosesAndHellebores · 30/08/2021 14:17

The closest is the cashmere one but I don't wear brown/yellow/orange/beige.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/08/2021 14:53

Love all of those cardigans, but OMG to the prices on some of them. That dark green one is lovely, but would depend on what the fabric felt like. I've been looking for similar but with more natural fibres.

Link took me to website but not the boots

How about these Rieker boots? Too clumpy?

www.rieker.co.uk/rieker-ladies-footwear-c2/rieker-ladies-boots-c84/ankle-c85/rieker-70840-35-ladies-red-zip-up-ankle-boots-p9544

I'm looking for black & grey jeans. Not skinny, but not too baggy either. I'd like them to be a bit tapered and I also want to be able to roll them up so that there's a bit of skin showing above my hi top trainers. Tried some from Boden & Hush but no luck. I've ordered some from Mango so fingers crossed.

BluebellCockleshell123 · 30/08/2021 16:09

Re jumper dress. I've just bought this one & it is surprisingly flattering on someone 5'4" size 10/12 with largish chest:

That's really nice, but too long at the back, I think.

tshirtsuntan · 30/08/2021 17:04

Defiantly41 thank you, the moshulu boots are exactly what I was looking for Grin

MeredithGreyishblue · 31/08/2021 17:29

I want a full length, full denim skirt. 😩
