laika, your picture inspires me to get a red skirt like that. when I first saw that posted I loved the whole thing.
the comment about Dita, made me chuckle, I get the impression
softgrey and dita are on opposite ends of the fashion spectrum. although maybe with a new red lipstick....
I'm feeling like most of you, a huge urge for knits. although, I have always loved sweaters, big chunky boxy ones. this year, I'm adding some thinner cashmere sweaters into the mix so I can wear lots of jackets. Jackets are a big must this season, dark colors like navy, charcoal and of course black. wools that are felted and boiled with texture.
my tendency is still towards a narrow pant or skinny black jean though, so the volume on top and narrow on the bottom will carry over from past seasons. I did order a high-waisted black denim wide leg jean, from superfine, which always fit me so well.
footwear-wise, lots of boots, per usual. ann d, yohji combat, jil sander and past season chloe ones. prada shoes to wear with socks and tights. lots of tights to wear with wool skirts. this year I found my perfect skirt in Prada (I must be over 40

). its black, above the knee and has inverted pleats, I can't wait to wear it with charcoal ribbed tights.
handbags; I am all over the sac designs. I have a black sac Dries bag I am going to dig out and use. I like the patent idea alot and have never carried a patent bag so this might be the season to do so. also I am really into leather backpacks lately.
dresses with cardigans and pull-over sweaters for layering. I finally found the marc jacobs swing dress I have been on the hunt for and love the fact it has a subtle leopard pattern to it. so most of my dresses aren't form fitting but very swingy and full.
