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.

Love those silver loafers too, how wonderful to get them at such a great price, happy to hear that you've finally found a pair that works well for your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411624 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 16:42:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2411624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>This outfit is just sublime on you, Suz! 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> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flirting-with-linen-plus-two-fabiversary-finds#post-2411619 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:40:42 +0000 Suz 2411619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Linen and I have not broken up. I do keep a certain amount of distance from linen, but I'm open to flirtation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I'm a sucker for names. For one of my creative and academic projects, I'm hard at work in the archives. So when was online at Aritzia in search of something else and saw the <b>Archive</b> shirt in <b>SUSAN-</b>stripe....let's just say it mysteriously wound up in my bag. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>This is an oversized linen shirt. Very oversized -- as you can see. So it stands away from the body. It has tabs to rein in the sleeves. Being linen, it is light, so it can be fully tucked, despite its bigness, and it can also be tied in front for a sort of blouson. This colourway (they have tons) is a bright navy with a very thin ivory stripe.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't cut the tags but I think I'm keeping it. I like some sun coverage in summer and this shirt feels breezy and cool in both senses of the word. I really like the cut. And the slight pattern (and dark colour) help to disguise wrinkles.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am wearing it with my new white crops. These replace my Zara ones from last year, which I loved so much in theory, but which mysteriously always wrinkled worse than linen, despite being 100% cotton and so crisp on first acquaintance. They drove me up the wall -- even with ironing the wrinkles did not seem to come out or stay out for more than 5 minutes!&nbsp;</p> <p>The jeans are Ralph Laurens from the petites section, which <b>Angie</b> found for me. <b>Angie</b> and <b>Inge </b>were so patient. We tried on a <b>lot</b> of frogs to find this prince. Well, to be fair, some of them were not exactly frogs, but maybe minor dukes? Anyway, these felt perfect from the second I zipped them up. Sizing up in petites can work for me so that is what we did. I've been wearing them on repeat already.&nbsp;</p> <p>The shoes are the loafers I ended up keeping! In a frenzy of delight that a loafer, <b>ANY</b> loafer would stay on my feet, I bought the pretty blue perforated ones at full price at Nordstrom (and they were pricey in CAD$ -- about $200.) But they were size 7 (my typical US size) and required an insole on one side to stay on. Then, when I saw the silver in size 6.5 for a mere $44 US at the Rack, and tried it on, and it fit much better, I returned the blue ones in favour of these.&nbsp;</p> <p>These are the Vionic Uptown loafer and they are a miracle shoe for me! I've been wearing them nonstop and am considering a second pair. Ideally, I'd love a loafer with a less sporty/ sneakerish sole, but this fit my purposes completely for this summer and they are workhorses already.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for looking!&nbsp; </p>
