What’s on your wish list? Be sure to include links so we can shop, too 😉

I was a little unsure about completing today’s prompt because I’ve spent so much time this year getting rid of things and simplifying my life. I didn’t want to tempt myself and my consumerist ways. But then it dawned on me that there are some purchases I need to make, so why not talk about those a bit? Plus, it’s more gratifying because I will get to buy something soon!

What I really, desperately need – and am reminded of every morning when I step outside into an increasingly colder climate – is a winter coat. I have been getting by on a $30 coat I bought at Charlotte Russe five years ago, but I have no expectations that it will survive a New York winter – or even fall. The trouble with this is that I have no idea where to start! I’ve recruited some friends to go with me shopping, but do any of you have any recommendations?

The other thing I need is new PANTS!  In Phoenix I bought all my pants long and wore them with heels everywhere. That does not fly in the city of walking everywhere! Most of my pants have been destroyed because I’ve worn them with flats and through rainy weather. I do believe the answer to my problem will be crop pants – long enough to wear with flats and still be warm, and they’ll slide nicely into boots as well. I’ve been looking at these pixie ankle pants, from Old Navy (which is having a sale!) If I try them on and they fit, I might just buy every pattern and color.

What are you shopping for this season?
