I bought a hooded coat last year and some other stuff before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue/page/2#post-2213122 Sun, 01 Aug 2021 01:48:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2213122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, I got my EF linen knit top on sale at The Rack. I don’t remember what I paid, but it wasn’t very much. Prices for EF items on clearance at the Rack now strike me as higher than I paid, but I’m not sure. <a href="https://www.nordstromrack.com/c/clearance/womens?filterByBrand=eileen-fisher" rel="nofollow">https://www.nordstromrack.com/.....een-fisher</a> I can’t get into TJ Maxx’s website from here: too many misdirects.</p> <p>ETA.

That would be amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue/page/2#post-2212735 Thu, 29 Jul 2021 17:00:16 +0000 Jules 2212735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry forgot to say: you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2212734 Thu, 29 Jul 2021 16:56:33 +0000 Jules 2212734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend wore an EF shirt to a BBQ last weekend and honestly I could immediately tell it was a cut above her/our crowd’s usual price point. So it made sense when she said it was EF. Turns out she got lucky at Winners (our Canadian TJ Maxx type store) which is actually pretty rare in my experience (meaning actually finding something from a good brand at a good price that doesn’t have some quality or fit/sizing issue). Anyway thanks for sharing your items, it’s definitely more food for thought for me on the price point/quality/fit issues I struggle with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2212677 Thu, 29 Jul 2021 09:28:35 +0000 The Cat 2212677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab. Really! #1 and #2 are GORGEOUS! #3 and #4 also look great.</p> <p>As for the dress in #5-7, I suggest two ways to get better proportions:<br /> 1. Wear it open, as a duster, over a column of colour.<br /> 2. Make it longer and perhaps wear it with a narrow belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2212140 Mon, 26 Jul 2021 08:33:09 +0000 Jenni NZ 2212140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look excellent in all these. I especially like the navy swing top and cropped pants, and your sandals.<br /> I think I would prefer the pink dress a titch longer, just to the bottom of your knees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211958 Sun, 25 Jul 2021 11:34:14 +0000 Janet 2211958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto to what Runcarla said!

I think the length of the black dress is fine, love it with the gold-ish gladiators and I don't see any bits and blobs I also love the pink dress. I quite like it as is but it could also be nice a smidge longer. I'd love to see the sleeves folded up, just to see what difference it would make. That said, I wouldn't have thought anything was wrong with them if you hadn't brought them to my attentions.</p> <p>I feel you regarding menopause! Nice not to have periods but the weight and body issues not so nice. For me, losing weight and keeping it off is much harder and even though my weight isn't up a lot, my body is different. It's a constant battle between what I can accept and what I will fight - haha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211615 Fri, 23 Jul 2021 11:31:06 +0000 kkards 2211615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love love love the 1st 3 -and i see no body con on the dress, but i hear you. What we see and what we feel, not always the same.<br />re the pink dress…it like it, but don’t love it. For me its only partly the length, I’d like to see it belted, but then i know that kinds of defeats what you are looking to do. Also maybe with sneakers to really make it casual?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211603 Fri, 23 Jul 2021 10:24:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2211603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous set of outfits! You have great style.</p> <p>I would like the pink dress to be a little longer.

I love all--especially the pink linen shirt dress. That looks fab and so practical for humidity. I can't quit the tube skirts either.

Apparently simple pieces are not so simple at all, but EF seems to get it right consistently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211563 Fri, 23 Jul 2021 02:42:19 +0000 notsaf 2211563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all of these look fabulous! And amazing to have found a go-to. I especially like the looks with denim, but that's just a personal preference. The shorter skirted looks look store to me as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211559 Fri, 23 Jul 2021 01:11:09 +0000 Carla 2211559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking mighty fine, and if you hadn’t prefaced your post with a comment about a weight issue, I wouldn’t have thought there was a problem. &nbsp;‘Yes’ to experimenting with footwear or lowering the hem of the fuchsia dress. &nbsp;Also, wearing it ‘long over lean’ if you elect to keep it as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211534 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 22:46:40 +0000 ANewMindset 2211534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate to your entire post...<br /> Don't change a thing!

Simple, yes, but lately that’s been appealing to me. Re: weight gain—my BP goes up with each five pounds I gain so in addition to my clothes not fitting well, I’m looking at meds if I don’t lose some of it. Bad genes lol.</p> <div><b>lisa p</b>&nbsp;- Thanks for weighing in. Yes, I agree, it’s not just the weight gain, it’s definitely the gravity and I could stand to tone up too. I will definitely wash EF carefully. Even on sale, the pieces are pricey enough that I want them to last a long while.&nbsp;<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211515 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 21:31:53 +0000 Anonymous 2211515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d take any and all of these pieces please . I think I’d personally like the fuschia dress longer , but that’s just me . To commiserate a bit about the menopausal weight issues -I’m well out of menopause now , but it , and maybe aging too , did a number on my body I’ve had a hard time “ fixing “ . Weight gain but also a loss of shape / gravity = eek ! It takes SO much diligence and focus to make any changes . Ugh . I like all of the EF pieces I own , but can attest to what Jenn said about laundering being super important . I have a short tank from the System collection that I stopped paying attention to when washing and it’s quickly lost it’s shape .my fault though . EF is pricey in Canada and rarely goes on sale ( only odd bits from out of season in limited sizes etc) so I don’t own as much as I might like . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211512 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 21:26:23 +0000 Aquamarine 2211512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenn</b>&nbsp;- You wear EF so well. Good to know I should keep babying that dress…thanks for the advice!</p> <p><b>FI </b>- Yes, you look fantastic so it’s good to know there is hope lol.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><b>Slim cat </b>- Yeah, definitely need sneakers with that dress. I didn’t realize it before, but I think the slides contribute to the house dress vibe! An extra inch or so is easy to do. I think there’s almost a 3-inch hem…very generous.</p> <p><b>JAileen </b>- Ha, that’s my dream job when I get “older!” Thanks!</p> <p><b>Minaminu </b>- Thanks! I didn’t think of wearing it as a jacket. I had thought of maybe wearing a tank underneath to extend the season a bit…I guess that’s similar.</p> <p><b>Gaylene </b>- Her system appeals to me more and more. I’ve just been so weary this past year+. Along with the easy fits, it’s nice that things “go” together pretty effortlessly without too much thought.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211502 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 21:12:22 +0000 bj1111 2211502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i am walking this journey with you, including a 20# weight gain in all the wrong places.</p> <p>i will check out ef...i've been attracted to it, but oddly i find it super expensive for the visual simplicity of the pieces.&nbsp; need to readjust after reading comments on @runcarla's thread.</p> <p>commiserations, otoh, i would be delighted to look this good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ef-to-the-rescue#post-2211500 Thu, 22 Jul 2021 21:06:37 +0000 Gaylene 2211500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EF has always come through for me as long as I pick my pieces carefully. One thing I really like is that the colors and silhouettes in a season usually work well with each so it’s super easy to pull a little capsule together.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Your outfits are perfect examples of how using accessories and other wardrobe pieces make your outfits uniquely yours.
