Lust List: Autumn and Winter Lace, Wool, and Tweed


I have to admit, I want to be able to go outside without sweat pouring off me and without everyone in the vicinity smelling as if no one has heard of deodorant. I want brisk autumn days with crunchy leaves to go out of my way to crunch on and all the golden, scarlet, and maroon colors that come with autumn.

However, since I am at least trying to be a frugal college student, most of my fall wardrobe will be my summer wardrobe plus leggings, jeans, cardigans, and blazers. But winter... Winter in Prague requires warm clothing. Cozy and warm and it has to be luxurious. After all, if out of your classroom window you see the largest castle in Europe, you have to be able to dream. And dreaming of being a Habsburg princess (hopefully without the genetic defects they developed) is much easier if you have cashmere and soft leather and luxurious scarves and velvet leggings and all you have to do is imagine where your beautiful outfit could take you.

Some of my favorites this week:
Flower Patterned Knitted Tube Dress ($39.90, Zara)
Waist-Cut Tweed Dress ($59.90, Zara)
Shorts R-C Main (999CZK, $52, Mango)
Bop Basics - Thick Knit Collar Scarf ($68, Shopbop)
Autumn Cashmere ($191, Bluefly)
Bop Basics Thick Knit Arm-Warmers ($58, Shopbop)

I'm also planning on writing a Zara autumn wishlist post soon but since they are currently updating the website and the inventory, everything is a bit glitchy.

Thanks to We Heart It, Zara, Mango, Bluefly, and Shopbop for the images.
