Desert~Rose's Polyvore

Brights, stripes, and neutrals: Old Navy has all your sweater needs covered for a splendid day of skating in a winter wonderland!

This wishlist is for things that I wouldn't just keep in my closet and admire in a glass case, but would actually be comfortable wearing in my daily life:
Everyone needs a good pair of pumps, and Steve Madden is a solid go-to shoe source, because these shoes definitely stand the test of time. I'm looking for a pair in nude because they can be worn for any occasion.
The boots are perfect for me because I'm tall, so over the knee boots usually fit the bill since I know they'll at least hit my knee :) The elastic calf is also nice because I can wear them with jeans without worrying about whether or not it will be too tight.
I've been scouring for a leather jacket, and I love this one because the seaming is very flattering. This jacket can be worn with basically anything, like a good pair of jeans, or a nice dress.
The dresses are from Anthropologie and Dorothy Perkins, and I'm in love with both because of the emphasis on the waist and flattering cut, and that they're both unique, flirty, but still modest enough to wear to my parents' house.
Lastly, this statement coat from Modcloth is one of the most beautiful pieces of clothing I have ever laid my eyes on. Everyone needs one statement piece, and this is mine.

My lofty wish list is as follows:
I have been wanting a leather jacket for AGES, and found this beauty by chance. I love that the color is soft, much less harsh than black, and that the lining provides amazing warmth. I think it’s the jacket I never knew I was looking for.
The Vivienne Westwood skirt is to die for. It's a pencil skirt with a little bit of sass, and can be worn going out too, so all around, I’m a fan.
Who doesn’t want something by Alexander McQueen? The orchid lace pattern is gorgeous, and the teardrop shape of the heel keeps it from being just another stiletto.
I think a trench coat is a must-have for anyone, but yet I haven’t been able to snag one that I love. Maybe because I’ve been longing for this one; it’s simple, classic, and it’s Burberry.
I need a handbag that can go with anything, but nothing too dainty because I still need to take it to work, and it needs to be stylish. Enter Marc Jacobs, and my problems are solved.
I’ve been lusting after this dress since the Lanvin for H&M lookbook was released. It’s dramatic without being gaudy or vulgar, and the rich purple color is gorgeous.

This is more casual than most sets here, but it's definitely something I would want to wear, and the watch adds just enough sparkle to make it special :)

Here's my first attempt to make sets based off stuff strictly from my closet. I'm in a bit of a rut, so I think it'll be helpful to mix up what I can do with my own clothes. So, for the next few sets, these are all items I own, or I own something incredibly similar.
