It doesn't fit my body anymore.  The ones that fit the rest of my frame don't fit across my shoulders. And they don't actually make pants small enough for me now. I still love the brand, it just doesn't fit. All you ladies shaped like girls will have to enjoy her wonderful fabrics for me. catgirl on "Is my style too young?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-style-too-young/page/2#post-1041790 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:15:45 +0000 catgirl 1041790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Funny, I just read the New Yorker article on Eileen Fisher - they described her target demographic as a certain age of women wanting to be "elegant plain" or something along those lines.  That doesn't fit you, but neither does too young.   I wouldn't worry a bit about it. rachylou on "Is my style too young?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-style-too-young/page/2#post-1041767 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 16:57:51 +0000 rachylou 1041767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No way.

I would view it more as cross-generational and timeless than too young. And, you choose lovely pieces with exquisite fabrication, so I am sure that might be part of their excitement Deborah on "Is my style too young?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-style-too-young#post-1041645 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:06:41 +0000 Deborah 1041645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nothing to worry about! I think your style transcends age. It is modern and interesting with elements that I read as very chic. Recently I have had two girls in their late teens, early twenties tell me how much they liked a couple of my jackets. I took it as a compliment:). You should too:) VernieJane on "Is my style too young?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-style-too-young#post-1041595 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 08:56:24 +0000 VernieJane 1041595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Was this at Buffalo Exchange? When I lived in Austin several years ago they were very picky!! If they love your stuff then I'd say that its trendy and quality, so don't even double think it! In what universe would that be a bad sign???

You look great - both for your age and for ANY age.  Amy on "Is my style too young?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-style-too-young#post-1041498 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 01:50:01 +0000 Amy 1041498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No way!

Good lord, no. They just have good taste at the store and appreciate quality items, and they are probably excited because they know your stuff will sell.

I will be in austin for work in a few weeks and this store sounds like a good one to check out. re your style I can't really comment bc I've only seen some of your WIWs since you joined corporatelandia but I think of it more like modern classic with a twist. It doesn't read young to me at all. Thanks!
