I love long gloves! There are not many opportunities to wear them here in the middle of PA, but they invoke an aura of glamor for sure!
What are the trends for this fall ? will you wear them ?

New stuff I've already purchased:
- opera length gloves with ruching (black leather)
- black suede heeled oxfords (good grief I have worn ankle boots/booties for years and so was I horribly out of style until this season? LOL)
- tights
- black pencil skirt with wide belt
- GREY anything.
- longer length sweater vests (by theory, an alternate to the tunic trend below)
things I like but not sure they will work on me:
- trouser jeans
- swing jackets, short, very lady like but not sure on proportions for me
- clutches. Not sure about them for everyday...not very practical
- metallics/shine
- longer tunic sweaters (I am in good shape but have a booty and these just don't skim over my body like they're supposed to and they make my legs look even shorter).
What I still want:
- new patent leather bag
- more grey cashmere (will checkout Vince)
What I won't wear:
- high waisted jeans. Been there, done that!

I've purchased a cool trench from Banana Republic and some tall brown casual boots to wear with jeans or shirtdresses...I really hope fluorescents are not coming back, way scary...Flowy shirts are filling up my closet too. I am kind of trying to buy more classic pieces and staying away from the too "trendy" sort of things...

Noegirl05, I did a quick ebay search and found some inexpensive options...
this store has tons of colors for cheap. Not sure what materials or level of quality you were looking for... personally I'm hoping to score some at a thrift shop or antique store but might turn to ebay if I run out of luck there.

I'm planning to go shopping soon, and I will be looking out for an over-the-top coat (I try to buy one every year), studded anything, Roberto Cavalli belts with large hardware, shift dresses, and lots of gray. I will try to refrain from buying shoes, but they are so easy to buy!
. although I still like some of the less extreme volume pieces. I also like the long wool sweater dresses with huge cowl neck. been looking for that. but trousers have to be ladylike IMO and got a pair of ankle booties. i am a neutral colour girl and grey is so my colour for this winter.
I'm looking for long gloves, too! I saw some on nordstrom.com actually-- in leather. Very reasonably priced $148. There are also lots of gloves on lacrasia.com.
