Every season - or basically once before the summer, and once before the fall - I make a list of essentials that I need or want for that season. I've talked about this before, but I really think that this KEEPS ME from buying everything I fall in love with, and makes me stick to a simple grocery list.
And although I said just a short while ago that I wasnt thinking about the fall at all, I have also been hit with a ton of young, fashionable art kids now that I work at MCAD that are already transitioning (and as well they should be, school has started and students mostly walk and bike to class around here).
I am getting all sorts of inspirations, and am starting to build my fall list! This is what I am planning to dig for.
First of all, cherry red tights ala the Fall 09 Built by Wendy Collection,
I LOVE THEM! At first, I had a hard time finding this color red, and not a bright red. But it looks like these ones from TopShop will do.

Warm wool or knitted Ponchos, like the super-fun ones My Solitary Consignment snagged awhile back, and some other great ones on etsy. My work is very cold already and I need a warm blanket I can throw over anything to keep me warm!

And lots of boots. Lots (I am already getting a head-start on this one). A moccasin bootie would be nice as well, like these ones from Moccasin House!

Obviously, there are more things on the list. But these are the ones I am really dying over. What about you? What do you need for fall (and have you gotten it already?!)?
