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?

I am a little bit in love with this green pencil skirt...www.reiss.com/p/pencil-skirt-with-zip-detail-womens-kassidy-in-green/?_$ja=tsid:|cid:11403243063|agid:111312381293|tid:pla-294682000766|crid:473829590769|nw:g|rnd:9490107542324736531|dvc:m|adp:|mt:|loc:9046945&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpreJBhDvARIsAF1_BU3R0WoCz6C0Jf_RyD3WikqUp0lrOHH9b2sMZNGw_r5p30aMerjG42EaAoj0EALw_wcB

Love the silk fred one too...

A plain wool knee length kilt - black plum or charcoal, with a proper leather strap fastening - to wear with thick tights and boots - would kill for such a garment

I've been looking for a cape-ish poncho in navy or black, with a straight bottom, no frills, pompoms or tassels. in a cashmere mix. it seems like it's too much to ask. a half circle. I should just learn to knit.

Can I join in please! I want a really chunky yellow roll neck like the one Esther Coren wears in the Saturday Times.

Embassy London Shoes. I would have every single pair they have but look at these

Well I’ve just bought the phase eight orange jumper lol.

I’m on the look out for a kilt like wool skirt that sits just above the knee to wear with thick tights and boots. I’m a size 18 with a big bottom and don’t want it too short. Preferably in plum, dark blue, black or would consider green.

Would also like some black biker type boots under £100 in a wide fit. Some nice light weight scarves in autumnal colours

I would like a forest or pine green jumper. Not too cropped, slightly shaped body rather than square, not too chunky knit, not a roll or crew neck (a sort of slouchy neck that I'll know when I see it), not itchy.

So far had no luck - hopefully later in the season.

Watching. I need quite a few bits atm.

@HenslowesDiary I had this sent to me in a stitch fix box I don’t know if it’s any good? It feels so soft on not itchy at all

I love Embassy London shoes and boots! I have a pair of navy/pink brogues and a pair of red/gold boots I just need to be out and about again so I can give them justice!

Thank you - that looks lovely and the right kind of shape.
Might be a bit too teal-y though. Do you know the brand?

Actually goigling that Lilian etc description takes me to Apricot which may have some contenders so thanks again.

Actually I think what I'd most like/ need for autumn is something between a coat and a jacket. At the moment, I have a blazer and a leather jacket - and the next step up is a long woolly winter coat. So something for cooler days before winter truly hits us would be great. Not really sure what I'm looking for, though

This sort of shape?

Thank you. Yes to the shape. But in a more neutral colour. And possibly less nubbly!

[quote BangingOn]@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie I used to have a skirt just like that and I’ve mourned it for years, I loved it. I can’t even remember where it was from, possibly somewhere like Great Plains. It was close to 20 years ago though, would love to find one again.[/quote]
I think mine might have been from Richards - I loved that shop!

@Livinthedream84 I would also love the skirt you describe, black or dark green would be amazing.

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie I had a beautiful black dress from Richards, one of the many high street shops I mourn.

@SirVixofVixHall

I think it was “blue and green should never be seen” ?

Red and green should never be seen except on a fool. Reference to a court jester

I've always known "blue and green should never be seen" but I have always thought they go well together.

@HenslowesDiary it’s by a brand called editors cut :) might be worth a google so you can see in a different light. In real life it’s more of a forest green rather than teal

@Pigtailsandall a coatigan/ long cardigan? Don't ask me why Zara has styled them with bras though 🤷‍♀️

@KnobJockey lol, the styling is so odd sometimes. It frequently puts me off buying from Cos in particular

I have a coatigan but I feel like it makes me a bit frumpy (maybe that's why they've styled it so blatantly sexy) and they're often not great at keeping a bit of wind out. I think what I'm after is more of a lined, woolly blazer or a thinner winter coat. I can't seem to find any (maybe they're not in stock yet!)

Or these? Not bought from that shop before so can't comment on fit or quality.

I actually like those a lot! Thank you @NellWilson

Thanks too @Menacingvern12- I think I’m going to go with the Embassy ones
