I ordered the 0. Does the 2P run smaller than the 0? Is the rise significantly shorter? EF sizing confuses me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048980 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 18:28:12 +0000 Angie 2048980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you order the jeans in a EF petite by any chance?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048434 Sun, 28 Jul 2019 14:07:31 +0000 viva 2048434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting read. I’m sad about the Everlane coat, which I ordered but now suspect may be too big also. I could potentially live with the pocket situation but I don’t want to be swallowed whole, and I only sized down one. </p> <p>I’m also going to try on the EF Jeans one more time to make sure the fit works. </p> <p>Your comments were really helpful!</p> <p>Ps love the sheets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048233 Sat, 27 Jul 2019 15:04:07 +0000 Dana 2048233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those sheets are adorable!! I just clicked through...I totally need sheets. You're a great shopper, deciphering what you like and don't like about your items. It would be easy to fall in love with the lavender color and later realize the pockets bug the c**p out of you. Those shorts look comfy, but I think they look like $5 gym shorts. $45, what?!&nbsp;</p> <p>It sounds like your DS is going to be quite the shopper!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048209 Sat, 27 Jul 2019 12:53:32 +0000 nemosmom 2048209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another high-five from me on being picky. I am surprised about the red shorts being wonky, it is super frustrating when you can't dupe an item that you love! But, not a loss at all - those sheets are bright and super fun!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048156 Sat, 27 Jul 2019 03:35:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2048156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Aw, it's too bad about the clothing items, but the sheets are so pretty and cheery!</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048149 Sat, 27 Jul 2019 02:39:10 +0000 Anonymous 2048149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the 60's memories when every mall had a Marimekko store.&nbsp; I settled for those cotton bed linens made in India with rich deep colors.&nbsp; I hope that Marimekko makes a comeback along with Danish teak furniture.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048142 Sat, 27 Jul 2019 01:01:40 +0000 LaPed 2048142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarahD8 -- PPP all the way! It's easier to be picky about jeans when it's 85˚F. ;)</p> <p>Kathie -- the sheet set is sold out in twin size, so DS will probably have to settle for a pair of pillowcases.&nbsp;</p> <p>JAileen -- when we lived in NV, the dog was allowed on the bed whenever he wanted. Now that we're in New England, we're too freaked out about ticks and Lyme disease to let him up. Luckily he's a quick learner (probably helps that he now has a supremely cozy bed of his own).&nbsp;</p> <p>Jenava -- 2 sizes down sounds about right. I went the the smaller of my usual sizes, but even over a blazer it felt too roomy.&nbsp;</p> <p>kkards -- I *wish* I'd had Marimekko stuff in college! I think I'm finally over the whole minimalist thing for home decor. Bring on the colour. Inconsistent sizing drives me batty, especially from companies that are almost 100% mail-order. It feels like such a waste of time and resources sending things back that should fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>gryffin -- thank you for the intel on the older version of the cocoon coat! Such a shame that they changed the design. Maybe I will keep an eye on eBay and Poshmark and see if one shows up in my size.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048119 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 22:30:42 +0000 kkards 2048119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thank you for my college dorm flash back....&nbsp;Marimekko it still speaks to me!<br />and i've had the same issues with Everlane re the same item fits differently...so fustrating.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048115 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 22:17:13 +0000 Jenava 2048115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I ordered that coat in two sizes down.&nbsp; I sat on it for a good while and finally decided to do it.&nbsp; If it fits I know I will get a lot of wear out of it as it's one of my favorite shades.&nbsp; sorry you didn't have much luck at NAS! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048106 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 22:05:32 +0000 gryffin 2048106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LaP - sorry to hear about the everlane coat. I have the old version which had side entry pockets. It is perfection. I have the black but I had wanted to duplicate in gray but that’s when they changed the pockets. I have no idea why. The design was perfect. I’m crying with you because I want that old version back!! I keep checking each year and hoping.... Sheets are adorable. Enjoy them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048100 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:52:08 +0000 JAileen 2048100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My NAS order was the same, keeping only one out of five items, only it was one out of eight because of multiple sizes. I feel good, though, not keeping anything that almost worked. </p> <p>I love Marimekko, and the sheets you ordered are very cheerful. I’d love to have a Marimekko comforter cover, but one of our dogs sleeps on the bed so we cover our bedding with a fleece blanket, so we’d never see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048099 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:50:23 +0000 Kathie 2048099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the sheets!! I've actually been contemplating getting the pillowcases in the same pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048092 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:42:05 +0000 SarahD8 2048092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew you could be trusted!!! Brava! You can sleep well on your lovely new sheets knowing you were PPP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048090 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:35:41 +0000 LaPed 2048090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad the sheets are YLF-approved. :)</p> <p>Suz, if it weren't for the pocket placement on the coat, I would probably stalk -- or order a different colour to try in the 00. It's really a gorgeous coat, but I'm trying to avoid fuss-factors! I suspected the jeans would be too big when I ordered them, but all the talk of tight waists had me hopeful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048081 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:23:14 +0000 Anonymous 2048081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sheets are magnificent. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048080 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:20:34 +0000 Suz 2048080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, good for you for being picky and patient! That is the right thing to do.&nbsp;</p> <p>I suspect the EF jeans are just way too big for you. The sizing is really large -- I had to size down from my new normal size to my old normal size and they are still generous on me. And I'm almost sized out! So there you go. Too bad, as they would have been good for your style.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the sheets and love Marimekko!&nbsp;</p> <p>It's too bad about the Everlane coat. But you're right to wait.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/almost-no-keepers#post-2048074 Fri, 26 Jul 2019 21:00:46 +0000 LaPed 2048074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nordstrom order arrived today. The EF boyfriend jeans are going back. The legs fit well but the waist is huge. They sit low on my hips but the rise is too long for that to look good. The cut and fabric are not quite special enough to put time/$$ into waist alterations (which I find are a crapshoot anyway; about 50% of the time I still dislike the fit after I've had the waist taken in).</p> <p>I also ordered a set of cute Marimekko sheets inspired by Runcarla's red discussion. I mentioned wishing I had more red decor in my bedroom, and since I just scrapped a set of sheets that was completely threadbare I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to add some. These are not the most lux sheets out there, but they aren't so thin as to be see-through, and I love lightweight percale in the summer. I'm keeping them even though DH will complain; he is opposed to twee prints and bright colours. DS, on the other hand, wants a set for himself. ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Non-NAS: I'm also going to return my Everlane order. I <b>love</b> the colour of the coat (a little cooler toned in person than onscreen) and it's really nicely made (I especially like the cupro blend lining). It's a steal at the sale price, but I would really need to go down another size, and that size is currently sold out. I'm okay with intentionally slouchy, but this was like swallow-me-whole. I have a no-stalk policy in place in an effort to reduce screen time, so won't bother trying the other size. Also -- the pockets are so awkward; I think I need to insist on side-entry pockets for winter coats, for hand-warming purposes. Surprisingly, I'm also sending back my duplicate shorts. The red feels a little thinner than the olive, and the waist is cut smaller, so that they a) ride up and b) poof out where the legs meet the elastic. No bueno. I was expecting perfection! It's a shame, because the colour is great -- they remind me of classic lifeguard shorts. DS (age 5) is bummed because he loves both and thinks I should keep them.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> </p>
