Lo Shopping - A Few Fall Picks

The weather is getting cooler.  Soon it will be time for me to switch out my summer clothes for my fall/winter clothes.My winter wardrobe is non existent after living in Los Angeles for ten years.  One, it doesn't get that cold in L.A., two it's a much more casual place than New York or Rome.I am slowing adding pieces to my wardrobe.  No more fast fashion.  It looks like crap on me and never lasts.  No more impulse buys.  I can't afford to spend what little funds I've budgeted for clothing on items that sit in my closet because I wasn't sure what I was thinking when I bought them.  No more buying items that are just okay.  I have to love the fit, the color, the style, everything.  I don't care if it's a simple t-shirt or a leather bag.  If I'm not swooning, it stays on the hanger.There are so many things I want. What I need however, are tops and dresses.

I'm a big J. Crew fan.  I haven't had much luck with their dresses.  They tend to be too small for me in the chest area, but I have found some great blouses and sweaters.I adore the simple Jules dress.  It could be casual or dressy depending on the accessories.You can't go wrong with a classic white blouse.The neckline on the Beckham dress is AMAZING.  I couldn't find of a photo of it in the graphite color, which is the color I would buy.  It's a pity I can't afford it.  I will have to appreciate this dress from afar.
