I really like what you have in the board! Definitely keep building that up, it's really useful to have visual guides to what you want to aim for.
In terms of 'where to find', your budget & where approx you're based would be helpful.
The knitwear and big jackets also might be pretty easy to find on Ebay, but I'll defer to folks with more experience on that + I'm a huge fan of in-person thrifting.
i havent much of a budget honestly, im in the process of getting on disability. I live somewhat rural in chicagoland area. I think thrifting is easiest to find this kind of stuff but its very difficult for me to find the style. Im not sure how to find individual items that will make an outfit 😞 but thanks foir the suggestion!
maybe i just have to go in person thrifting more
Since your budget is pretty small and you'll probably buying pieces slowly, I def suggest you try on things irl to get a better sense of how different clothes actually look on you before you buy em either in person or online ; and also maybe look through your preexisting wardrobe and see if you can repurpose or remix what you already have into these shapes, silhouettes.
I also think it's useful to analyze what your inspo images have in common to get a better sense for what you're looking for. At a glance I see a lot of earth colors; knitwear; long, drapy silhouettes; layering; high rise bottoms.

It can be really, really fun; I just know what its like to have a low budget and an aesthetic goal, with no clear path on how to get there so what I wrote is pretty focused on being pragmatic, focused and slooow when it comes to purchasing haha.

ahhhh tysmmm this is all very helpful 😊😊
If you're budget constrained, spend time at thrift shops. There are a bunch on Milwaukee Ave. Probably look at both the men's and women's sections - I think a number of people here do this, to cast a wide net or achieve a particular look
