I think your style is more refined than that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1914024 Sun, 29 Apr 2018 12:07:24 +0000 Elizabeth P 1914024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great items Jenn! Love the colour for you.<br /> And I happen to really like the skirt length as is. I think granola is easy to avoid by what you wear it with, and how you accessorize. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913858 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 22:05:22 +0000 jussie 1913858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh it means hippy dippy.

Knowing your love of gorgeous organic accessories, I think the current length worn with matching top *could* skew upscale (artisan? haha) granola.</p> <p>Just wash it and clip it up to a few different lengths and see how YOU feel in it. As an example I have no problem wearing long print tunics over flared jeans (as well as skinnies and pencil skirts) but others might feel it's too costume-y boho for them to do them with the 70s jeans.</p> <p>So it boils down to what feels like you vs you as a Santa Fe art collector, ya know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913733 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 16:48:45 +0000 Anonymous 1913733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big fan of Eileen Fisher fabrications. &nbsp;I swear that I do not have to iron or take special care of my Eileen Fisher linens. &nbsp;It is something that never ceases to amaze me. &nbsp;I absolutely love these two rust pieces for you. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have not had the opportunity to review her latest collection. &nbsp;Is the quality still there? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913615 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 04:57:49 +0000 Bijou 1913615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful colours on you.

That is interesting about the waist. I wondered what the “faux wrap” was like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913573 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 01:12:48 +0000 Jenn 1913573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, back!</p> <p><b>Kathie,&nbsp;</b>I do kind of like having the "dress effect" option. Plus, I sometimes get bored of black bottoms or want something lighter in the summer, so that was my thought process in ordering.</p> <p><b>La Pedestrienne, Janet, Jill, Style Fan,&nbsp;</b>and<b> Kerlyn,&nbsp;</b>you all have me questioning my instincts about shortening now. I definitely don't want to shorten it so it sits at the thickest point of my calf, but I also feel a little dowdy at the current length. Maybe natural shrinkage will be just enough.</p> <p><b>Suz,&nbsp;</b>I'm really taken with how the pieces mix and match with black. I feel like I could take these four pieces, a pair of jeans, a striped tee, and a topper and be more or less set for a summer vacation.</p> <p><b>jussie,&nbsp;</b>I mean a certain homespun, hippie aesthetic.I have friends who absolutely pull that off, but it's not me.</p> <p><b>Lisa,&nbsp;</b>you've pretty much articulated my internal monologue. I do like the skirt a bit better with the Chucks, though, so maybe the combo of the length and the boho sandals are pushing it over the edge and I should try some different stylings.</p> <p><b>Joy,&nbsp;</b>this skirt is a faux-wrap with the belt stabilizing and covering an elastic waist, so you'd want your normal EF size. I thought I might try a size down, but I realized I wouldn't want it to sit any higher on my waist, because that would hide the belt tie detail.</p> <p><b>Isabel,&nbsp;</b>yes! That line between "crunchy" and "casual elegance" is exactly what I'm concerned about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913549 Sat, 28 Apr 2018 00:19:33 +0000 Jenn 1913549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>DonnaF,</b> I’m 5’9”.

I love the color on you and with your other pieces. I agree with others not to hack too quickly. The longer length may be just what you want for summer, plus shrinking a bit. You can go anywhere from a wedding to a brew fest depending on accessories.<br /> How is the sizing, especially for the skirt? I once had an EF linen wrap skirt in an XL and liked that it wrapped around securely when my usual EF size was PXS. DDIL took that skirt to wear on a trip to Indonesia when she needed modest clothing with coverage in hot steamy weather. It was exactly what she wanted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913519 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 22:51:07 +0000 Anonymous 1913519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt, at that length, is getting into crunchy territory....at least from what I see around here - but I think it can be mitigated by shortening it if you are in love with it. &nbsp;I love the top and the colour - but somehow the skirt , the more I think about it, isn't grabbing me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913518 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 22:36:53 +0000 jussie 1913518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both.

And thank you, the light, bright front hall makes me happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913509 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 21:51:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 1913509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First comment- I love your front hallway! Beautiful floorboards, rug and stair bannisters. We will have similar floorboards in our new home.<br /> Secondly, pic 1 especially does have a slight hippie vibe to my eye. The matching top and skirt do look like a dress and I wonder if you would lose something from the vibe if you hack?<br /> You could always do it later after trying as is. I also have a slight psychological objection to paying good money for something and then deliberately removing part of it? My tightwad mind would be going how many $ is that part I just cut off?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913493 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 21:12:47 +0000 Suz 1913493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <b>love</b> these on you. Absolutely gorgeous. This colour is so rich and it looks amazing with black! The top with skirt is a 2 piece dress. I don't know what to think about the length -- maybe just an inch or two shorter. I predict they'll become favourites.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913490 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 21:02:05 +0000 Jenn 1913490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Smittie,&nbsp;</b>if the black pants and shell are any indication, the skirt should get quite soft with a sort of rumpled-but-not-creased wrinkle. I occasionally steam those other two pieces, but not always.</p> <p>And <b>Jaileen</b>, I do put them in the dryer on low. </p> <p>It just occurred to me that the skirt might shorten up on its own a bit after the first wash. I like the length it is on the model. Right now, it's several inches longer on my short legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913486 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 20:50:56 +0000 JAileen 1913486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both pieces. Can they be put in the dryer?

Not sure about hemming. i’ll Let Angie handle that.</p> <p>I don’t think it’s too granola. I suppose you could style your outfit in that direction but it is not inherently granola. Hope that makes sense!</p> <p>Definitely like the rust/black combos.</p> <p>I’m interested to know how the skirt wrinkles. Nice wrinkles? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913483 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 20:45:33 +0000 Janet 1913483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them for you! ETA I would consider keeping the skirt at the current length. If you shorten it, I would not shorten it by much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913476 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 20:33:20 +0000 LaPed 1913476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Kathie, I LOVE 2 and 3. Rust and black is a great combo and you really rock it. I say keep both, since you have lots of black to pair with these pieces. I rather like the extra length, but if you prefer a true midi I guess you could hack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-linen#post-1913462 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 20:11:15 +0000 Kathie 1913462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both on you- the combinations in 2 and 3 are particularly striking, and 1 gives you the effect of a dress. Super versatile, so I vote keep. </p>
