Yelena’s Wish List

{five things I’m dreaming of right now}

Kate’s wish list has inspired our entire team to narrow down our shopping wish lists to five items we are most excited about adding to our wardrobes. This is actually more difficult than it seems – especially once you’ve seen Desiree’s and Kate’s lists!

So, here are five things that I’m dreaming of adding to my wardrobe . . . someday (perhaps when I’m not a poor law student, but a girl can dream, right!?). Besides, it’s totally justifiable since my birthday is coming up in a month!

1) A flattering sheath dress. I love a pretty sheath dress because it looks chic for whatever occasion – from the office to brunch! Unfortunately, with my hour-glass shape, too often sheath dresses are either too tight on the bottom, or too loose on the waist. As my hunt for the perfect sheath dress continues, at the top of my list is a Calvin Klein dress, like this contrast trim lux sheath dress.

2) Nude ballet flats. The other day, I stumbled across an Instagram account (@mesballerines) with the most beautiful ballet flats I have ever seen – classic perfection. Unfortunately, it looks like they’re solely a French-based company right now (anyone with a Paris connection wanting to get me a birthday gift? – Specifically, the Margot flat in nude (although a pair in glitter will also do!).)

3) Riding boots. So, I realize that it’s only mid-summer, but I’m already daydreaming of fall and boot season. My current riding boots have lasted me several years, but I definitely think that it’s time for a new pair. My problem is one of my calves is slightly wider than the other (totally weird!), making it difficult to find the right pair of boots. On my wish list though is this pair by Frye!

4) A white button-down. I am so picky about my button-down dress shirts! I like them to be fitted, but not so tight that you get the awkward gaps on your chest when you move your arms. Plus, I like the shirt to have some shape, but not be too starched. Phew! So many requirements, but that’s probably why I’m still searching for the perfect one. At the top of my dream wish list? This Theory top that Desiree found! But, for a more realistic option, this Banana Republic non-iron sateen shirt looks fabulous!

5) An O’Bazzie Classics Satchel. A student from my undergrad is currently working on launching his line of leather bags and luggage, and guys, it’s amazing! I got to watch his pitch and see his prototypes at a business competition a few months ago and was astounded by the quality and design! So now, I’m stalking their social media for updates on their official launch – specifically, eyeing the beige colored satchels!

Now that we’ve shared our wish lists, what’s on yours?
