The oversized vibe of the shirt is so fun, relaxed and casual. The white crops are such a good length on you and look like a perfect fit, a lovely find. The silver loafers are the icing on the cake for this outfit, I also struggle with the fit of loafers, how wonderful that you found a pair that look like real workhorse potential! Excellent new wardrobe additions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411743 Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:22:28 +0000 Suz 2411743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Ms. Liz</b> -- I normally can't wear petites because of the rise, but I have had some luck with regular "crops" becoming full length on me -- it was a nice change up for a while! (Normally I have to have trousers hemmed.) Thanks for the info on the loafers. I am definitely considering another pair. Even as house shoes, they are super comfy and I love the ease of slip on.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bonnie,</b> yes, it was so fun to shop with Angie and the Fabbers.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sarah</b>, we might have been shoe twins! I do like the perforated version, which is not available in Canada. But the price difference was signficant. And the fit was better in the smaller size.&nbsp; So, silver made sense.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Laurie </b>-- we are so often on the samem page about footwear! You might want to try these.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Pirouette,</b> thank you -- it was so lucky to get to shop with Angie and the rest! I had to break my no visit to the US vow, but it was worth it. :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> I thought of you several times as we were shopping, either seeing a skirt you would have dyed brilliantly, or a colour you'd have gravitated towards.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>delurked </b>-- thanks -- that is good info. I will avoid ordering the final sale version of those!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411716 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 14:37:09 +0000 Ms. Liz 2411716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in the new shirt and I love those wide crops! &nbsp;It is so difficult to find petite sizes in jeans in Canada. &nbsp;I get tired of settling for regular sized “crops” as full length jean wear on me. &nbsp;Those Vionic Uptown loafers are the best! &nbsp;I have 3 pair (navy suede, gunmetal metallic and bone) and they so comfortable and go with many wardrobe choices. &nbsp;They travel really well too. &nbsp;Vionic Canada is located in Richmond, B.C. &nbsp; You should check out their website as the Uptown Loafer comes in many colour ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411715 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 14:29:25 +0000 Bonnie 2411715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new outfit is great and how fun that you found it with YLF help at the meet up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411714 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 13:43:37 +0000 sarah 2411714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great finds! I got those loafers in the blue perforated version and have already worn them a bunch. Love the silver ones on you! Looks like the get-together was a blast, and you did very well with your purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411713 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 13:28:38 +0000 Laurie 2411713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking fab, Suz.

You are so lucky to have had the A team of fashion Inge and Angie to shop with you.

Love everything! Thanks for the report. It sounds like it was a fun and successful trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411693 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:14:40 +0000 delurked 2411693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - the sandals are on the roomy side for me, so I fear they will be too wide for you. The save for me is the velcro down at the forefoot to stop my foot from moving forward in them. I've actively been seeking more arch support, which I know Vionic is pretty well regarded for.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411692 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 03:54:16 +0000 Suz 2411692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>delurked,</b> wow you look great in that brilliant turquoise linen shirt, white pants, and silver shoes! Glad the Vionic sandals are working well for you. I should see if I can get a pair of those on sale, hmmmm.....</p> <p>I really like your linen collection. Several of the items are more structured than is typical, even though they hang loose from the body. Nice colours, too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Aquamarine,</b> I'm not sure how many colours they would have in store but online there is quite a selection.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kyle</b> - thank you! The weather is so much better than it was when you were in Seattle. This week is a bit cooler than last week, but still definitely spring (and not miserable winter) weather. You had such rotten luck with all the hail.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411688 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 02:15:33 +0000 delurked 2411688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White pants really work on you, and glad you found some Vionic loafers. I found a pair of silver Vionic sandals on clearance recently, which is my first foray into that brand. I'm not too surprised we both like the silver sandals. I do love metallic footwear.</p> <p>I adore your top. Floaty linen can be so nice, and I think the longer length just in back perhaps makes the whole oversized look a little less overwhelming. Did you stick with your regular size, or size down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411683 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:39:18 +0000 Aquamarine 2411683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great score! I’ll have to zip into Aritzia and check out the colors of that shirt too. I don’t mind linen! The blue especially looks fab over the white crops. So glad you found loafers…I know they’ve been difficult to fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411682 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:33:16 +0000 Kyle 2411682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s really great when you find good items you love that slip seamlessly into your wardrobe, fill gaps, and work. The crisp white of those crops is &nbsp;ideal for summer, and I empathize with your loafer problem. It’s so difficult and frustrating trying to find something that actually fits! You’ve &nbsp;got a pretty summer vibe going, and now I hope you get some equally beautiful weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411679 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:21:01 +0000 Suz 2411679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! <b>Debbie,</b> I hope I can find another pair of loafers, too. I would duplicate these in another colour but eventually would like some with a less "sneaker" like sole for the fall.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, like you, I rarely wear petites -- but in this case it worked.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Janet</b>, loafer twin, yay!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lisa, avicenna, ket, slim cat </b>-- thanks!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Inge,</b> we did score at the Rack for sure, even if we had to work for it! :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Carol,</b> the Archive is just the name of the shirt. I'm working in a real archive (library).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> thanks!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Dee, Sharan, </b>thanks again!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Indigoprint</b>, wow -- it sounds like you have a complete summer linen wardrobe! Amazing! Do you find it softens with washing? I think that can sometimes be true. But you manage to keep yours for so long -- that is brilliant!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jaileen</b> -- I can see you in this top, too!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Star</b>, thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411678 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:17:53 +0000 Angie 2411678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White is one of your best colours, <b>Suz</b>!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411677 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:57:57 +0000 Debbie 2411677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect outfit! I love how you showed the shirt different ways and I think it works well every way. Those loafers are fab and I hope you can find another pair that works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411671 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 23:12:40 +0000 Jaime 2411671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic new pieces and story behind them. I love the oversized top on you and would leap at that piece even if it weren't named after me . Good point about petites and sizing up. Although I am petite height I rarely wear petites for one reason or the other but if I do they are in a bigger than usual size. And am very glad you found your Cinderella loafers - yes I would stalk them in other colors too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411650 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 21:21:42 +0000 LJP 2411650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a great look , Suz !

I have a navy shirt with subtle metallic stripes like this, but it’s short sleeved. One of my summer favorites!</p> <p>I also have those Vionic loafers in silver! They are sooooo comfortable and don’t slip off my heels, shockingly enough. I did have to put cushiony insoles in them to take up a little extra room, but that’s no problem. </p> <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411647 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:45:11 +0000 avicennia 2411647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The subtle strip makes the shirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411642 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:15:42 +0000 Ket 2411642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Golly, is that the best linen shirt I think I've ever seen.

We loved these white crops the second you came out of the fitting room and we could tell you loved them too. </p> <p>We really did score at The Rack, didn’t we!-) I’m thrilled you found the silver version in the perfect size at such a great price. I tried them on too, and could immediately tell this is a comfortable shoe. If I hadn’t been between sizes, I would have gotten them too. Soooo happy you finally found loafers that stay on, and super stylish to boot, yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411633 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:34:04 +0000 Carol 2411633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great shirt--I love blue, I love a stripe....and I really love the dolman-type sleeve.

Fashion forward and very summery! Suits you beautifully!! As do with new KILLER white wide crop jeans and sporty silver miracle loafers! How did you live without them? ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Sublime shopping day with<b>&nbsp;</b>you and <b>Inge</b>! You hit the jackpot at the Rack and at Nordies!

I love the oversized shirt style for you, especially with those adorable, perfectly fitting jeans and the new silver loafers. I don't associate you with oversized clothing, so this shirt is a pleasant surprise. It looks equally fab untucked and semi-tucked.&nbsp;</div><div>Great to hear about your find and switcheroo with the loafers--score!</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411623 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:07:03 +0000 Indigoprint 2411623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz I love the subtle strip in that topper. Looks great on you!<br />I have not broken up with linen. I am trying to cut back though as I have a shamefully large collection. I sorted through my 12 white linens with the intention to purge and only put 1 in a holding spot. Still need to go through my blues, greys and stripes.<br />My rationalization for the whites is I only wear one 1 time then into the wash it goes. To me that keeps them pristine. I have 4- Flax white linen tops that are over 30 years old and they still look clean and fresh and I can depend on them when the heat and humidity rise.<br />I'm off to check out your new purchase </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411622 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:04:01 +0000 JAileen 2411622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! &nbsp;This is how I wear my linen tops - untucked with cropped pants. &nbsp;It’s my dressy summer uniform. &nbsp;The shoes are great, and how lucky to find them at the Rack!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411621 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:56:55 +0000 Star (Lise) 2411621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shirt, gorgeous. Untucked is my preference. So pretty and perfect with white jeans and silver loafers. Fabulous finds for summer. Good thing finding the loafers at a much better price. Silver may be even more versatile. </p>
