workwear wednesday: fall wish list

Every few months, notably when seasons change, I look at my drawers and hangers of clothes and ask myself, "Why don't I have anything to wear?!" I've lamented often about my lack of good basics and drooled about what I wish I had. Now that I have a real grown-up-job, I'm toying with the idea of splurging for my dreamy must-have's.

So here's how I'd like to makeover my work wardrobe for fall, if I get the guts to spend the dough...

The Tops

Ashish Striped Sequined T-Shirt, 540 GBP
Current/Elliott The Perfect Shirt, $215
Adam Heart-print silk blouse, $245
Prickig oversize blus, 549 SEK
Edun Silk racer-back tank, $300

I want uber femme sheer, silk blouses; sequins, even!, and a tad of military

The Bottoms

J Brand Houlihan Skinny Cargo Pants, 270 GBP
J Brand The Skinny Jean in Ink, 150 GBP
box pleat leather skirt$396, $396

Aside from being on continuous hunt for the perfect black cigarette pant [high-waisted? pleated?], I want a flirty leather skirt, tapered ankle dark-wash jeans, and a caramel khaki--though I'm sort of over these cargos, already!

The Neccessories *

Jeffrey Campbell Charli, $132
Restricted "Scrabble" Oxfords in tan, $39
Proenza Schouler PS1 Large suede satchel, $1,995
Discount Missoni Silk crochet-knit scarf | theOutnet.com

Will I or won't I cave to the clogs? Not before I find the perfect flats, and maybe a new work-appropriate satchel.

Ah, how lovely it would be to throw out all my junk and find these things in their place! What are you going to wear to work when the temperatures fall?

* The term "necessories" is genius shorthand for "necessary accessories" and coined by our summer intern... I'm not that clever.
