I am encouraging you on your 5 piece journey:). This one isn't good enough. </p> <p>BTW, I am on track. Resisted temptation to make a random Metalicus purchase last week. My eyes are firmly on new black jeggings. An essential really but I am including them in my 5:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1535487 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 16:39:07 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1535487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good insight on the asymmetrical hemlines, Angie. I felt that it would be better for Shedev with the pointy part in front, but I couldn't pinpoint why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1535381 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 14:47:40 +0000 shedev 1535381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on SYC for August, but I will definitely check out the two tops Angie posted in September. I like the handkerchief hem in navy and the long one in the green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1535251 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 10:12:52 +0000 Staysfit 1535251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing to add, but am following along to learn. I have to agree that the asymmetry in the two tops posted by Angie might work better for you. I never knew purchasing something asymmetrical required this much thinking! </p> <p> Frustrating to get ones hopes up and now go back to the hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1535203 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 06:06:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1535203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your assessment is right, shedev, and vote for passing it up to find the one that will layer the way you want. I do think the fit looks good in the shoulder, fwiw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534845 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 18:41:15 +0000 Glory 1534845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it in concept but it isn't the perfect topper. I am in search of the perfect black topper along with you. It is early in the season and there is bound to be loads more coming available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534735 Thu, 06 Aug 2015 16:23:46 +0000 rachylou 1534735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think so too... You can find a better fit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534262 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 23:43:36 +0000 shedev 1534262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's really early in the season. I'm sure I'll find something better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534255 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 23:30:48 +0000 unfrumped 1534255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I vote pass, too. Wrong kind of asymmetry. I have had this issue, too, that not all asymmetrical hems are created equal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534245 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 23:22:46 +0000 Anonymous 1534245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Next. There is a better top for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534238 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 23:16:05 +0000 Suz 1534238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in favour of trying a different kind of asymmetrical hem. I am SO into the asymmetry and I know you would find a top like this -- the <b>right</b> top -- super useful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534210 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 22:55:38 +0000 carter 1534210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it has to be one of the five, I agree that it's not "you" or special enough. Let the search begin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534200 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 22:48:58 +0000 Angie 1534200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's a 10 because the hemline cuts you across the widest part of your body. An asymmetrical hem in these shapes - where the hem creates points in front - is generally more flattering. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534197 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 22:44:24 +0000 shedev 1534197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I figured out the reason for my hesitation. I wanted to be able to layer with this, but the high side of the bottom hits a little lower than it should. Eileen Fisher is kinda tricky for me. I have a couple pieces that work really well, but most don't. &nbsp;For the price point, it has to be a ten and would count as one of the 5 pieces.&nbsp;&nbsp;As they say, next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534147 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 21:33:08 +0000 Peri 1534147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks the right size and it looks good. I have something similar and find it very useful, but I do a lot of "decorating"...scarves and jewelry...and think of things like this as a blank canvas for that. Do you think you would like it "as is".&nbsp;</p> <p>Alaskagirl has a good point about it being plain. But I remember a long ago blog or forum post by Angie saying we couldn't have everything be standout pieces...that a wardrobe needed some plain basics to work well. I didn't understand because I like everything to be special! But I've come around a bit because basics are very useful.</p> <p>So...depends on what role you want it to take!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534135 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 21:00:42 +0000 Word Lily 1534135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It shouldn't shrink if you wash according to the label and don't put it in the dryer.</p> <p>But I agree, it's hard to see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534131 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:53:38 +0000 catgirl 1534131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so hard to see black in detail! My instinct is that this is the right size but I'm not finding it exciting or edgy enough for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eileen-fisher-sweater#post-1534115 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:25:08 +0000 shedev 1534115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My last NAS item came a few days ago. I'm not sure if I should keep, size down, or return. It is 85% tensil, 15% merino wool, is it likely to shrink a bit? Directions are hand wash.</p>
