pointedwhitepedals: Impressions; The Fall/Winter Dilemma

I have no idea where this is coming from, but since fashion became my valve of creativity and I started to understand the cycle of collections, fashion shows and presentations, the Fall/Winter Season constantly disappoints me.
While I jump around my screen singing 'I want this and this and that and those aaaand that!' when the Spring/Summer Collections start to spread, F/W constantly makes me go: 'meh.'
This years 'meh': Leather, Camo, 'Grunge', Overknee Boots, rose, stale patterns (especially tartan). Boooh!

The industry has changed a lot, thanks to our digital generation, it takes an eyeblink to transfer high fashion designs to shopping-trends. Big advantage: Searching for affordable alternatives is a lot easier. Big disadvantage: You get flooded by every little piece of trend EVERYWHERE.
So you kind of get forced to wear whats in the stores and there's no option of 'not-liking' trends. Or wanting to wear something else. Take it or leave it. Sink or swim. Consuming society!
Don't get me wrong, there are some inspiring, beautiful trends like the white, rounded shoulders and unisex that I like, but that's not what you get in the stores. I should definetly start second-hand shopping.

Ok, back to topic. Meanwhile, my natural 'after-meh'-reaction is going black and earth-coloured.
Surprisingly I found some pretty pieces in the stores, which leads me to my inital intention of this post: Here are my most-wanted pieces for my Fall/Winter wardrobe!
