I have several EF pieces and I love the quality. It is worth the price. The XS and S sell out fast so waiting might not be the best option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-kr-dilemmastrategy#post-1287707 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:53:53 +0000 Jules 1287707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It would depend on whether I had the need and desire&nbsp;to wear it right away. While two weeks isn't long, it'd be 1/4 of my summer window, so I'd probably be wearing &amp; enjoying&nbsp;it right away. The price is also outside my budget comfort zone, and I wait for sales/discount codes on many items. But when something is so clearly perfect for me and my life&nbsp;that I want to rip the tags off and wear it right away, I am ok, <i>even happy</i>,&nbsp;with paying full price outside my usual range. I don't look back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-kr-dilemmastrategy#post-1287702 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:45:52 +0000 DonnaF 1287702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I've purchased from Nordstrom.com, I've always been able to get a price adjustment even after two weeks, just by calling their 888 number; you just have to give them the order number.&nbsp; They don't necessarily have to have your size in stock to give you a markdown.&nbsp; Also, when the Nordstrom.com price is lower than the one in the store, they will honor the online price.&nbsp; I just showed a print-out.</p> <p>Lots of EF goes on sale.&nbsp; I've noticed that PXS which is probably my size, often sells out.&nbsp; The same may be true of XS since EF runs large. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-kr-dilemmastrategy#post-1287700 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:43:16 +0000 texstyle 1287700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd probably keep it and feel good knowing that I love it at full price. I might check in a couple of times during the 14 day window to see if it goes on sale, but that's about it. It's a beautiful jacket and sounds perfect for your needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-kr-dilemmastrategy#post-1287698 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:36:34 +0000 carter 1287698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm an EF novice, but I have made a concerted effort to seek out her things lately. I have an EF wish list of items I hope to find on sale. They're not "must haves", so I have no interest in paying full price for them. Those items were not included in the half yearly sale a few weeks ago, nor have I seen them at Rack or Off 5th. I have, however, found a couple XS/S sweaters that were not specifically on my list, but I grabbed them anyway. Long way of saying that if you're looking for a particular item at a sale price, it probably won't happen. But if you're open to whatever is on sale, you can find some great things. If you really love this particular jacket, keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-kr-dilemmastrategy#post-1287681 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 20:22:07 +0000 NDMom 1287681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy quite a bit of EF from Nordies. &nbsp;I wear a size M and find that most go on sale. However, like the ladies said above....the xs and s sell out the fastest. &nbsp;What I usually do, even if I buy something, is to keep it on my wish list and check it periodically and then request a price adjustment if within the 14 day window. &nbsp; If I haven't yet purchased it, I check my wish list daily and then pounce when it goes on sale. &nbsp;Hope that helps too.... btw....now I am tempted to get that jacket. &nbsp;EF stuff wears and washes like steel....great clothing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-kr-dilemmastrategy#post-1287618 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:09:57 +0000 Anonymous 1287618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it is something you know you will wear, love, and can be worn for years, I'd keep it.&nbsp; Lots of EF sells out before going on sale, I'd say most of the collection, at least in this neck of the woods.&nbsp; I have and do try waiting for a sale and then usually miss out in my size.&nbsp; It seems like L and XL are often the sizes left.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-kr-dilemmastrategy#post-1287607 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:58:38 +0000 Suz 1287607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a great looking jacket and it sounds as if you love it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not a super experienced Nordie's shopper and haven't purchased EF from them, but my observation is that&nbsp;a good portion&nbsp;of the collection will go on sale -- but only what is left -- and small sizes of many items sell out before sale prices are applied.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>OTOH, if they happen to have only a few left in your size, those might go to the Rack.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/eileen-fisher-kr-dilemmastrategy#post-1287602 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 18:54:12 +0000 gradfashionista 1287602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the Eileen Fisher&nbsp;Asymmetrical Drape Front Organic Linen Jacket from Nordie's.&nbsp;&nbsp;For my budget, the jacket is quite overpriced for my budget, but I had read&nbsp;very positive reviews about EF's clothing&nbsp;and their company&nbsp;ethics, and was curious about the quality and fit. </p> <p>I've been looking for something somewhat structured and made of linen, but have veered away from suit jackets because I rarely wear them.&nbsp;This jacket fits the bill in terms of&nbsp;aesthetics, fit and functionality.&nbsp;I&nbsp;sweat a lot in the awful humidity of the summer and need breathable, quick-drying garments that protect me from the sun, appeal to my sense of fashion, and are appropriate in conservative environments. I could see myself wearing this for years.&nbsp;The linen&nbsp;is so soft, and makes my J. Crew linen tees seem quite scratchy in comparison. I've been culling my wardrobe and have a 'less is more' approach, which, despite bumps along the way, has been the trend the past two years.<br /><span><br />I'll be away for the summer, and need to decide within the next two days whether to keep it.&nbsp;</span>The jacket is sized XS, if that makes a difference. I talked to CS and they said that they would do a price adjustment within 14 days, and if the price lowered afterward, I would need to return my jacket and repurchase it.<br /><span><br />It seems that my options are&nbsp;a) keep the garment at full price and wear it; b) return it immediately; c) keep the garment but not wear it until I'm sure that it doesn't go on sale.&nbsp;<br /></span></p> <p><span>For those with experience shopping EF at Nordstrom's, does most of the collection eventually go on sale? &nbsp;</p> <p></span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/eileen-fisher-asymmetrical-drape-front-organic-linen-jacket/3732945?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=60158895&amp;fashionColor=Midnight&amp;resultback=1598&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_4_D">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ei.....32945?orig</a> </p>
