I have no idea how common EF outlet stores are but there is one fairly close to one of my two regular mall and the discounts are pretty good. I’ve been in a few times and it plan to check in there again soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1947149 Sat, 11 Aug 2018 19:41:55 +0000 gryffin 1947149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth - they frequently go on sale, in all their iterations, and different colors.&nbsp; So if you keep a watch I'm sure you will find them at a good price.&nbsp; I hope you enjoy them.&nbsp; I'm wearing my tee shirt today!&nbsp; It feels soooo good!<br />CJ - I'm sure they will pop up at a good price.&nbsp; Watch the ivory, I found it sheer, you would want a cami underneath IMHO.&nbsp; The black is opaque.&nbsp; I'm waiting for them to come back in a gray....<br />Sterling - I hope you find exactly what you are looking for.&nbsp; Great basic and I really enjoy having them!&nbsp; You are smart only to buy what you need and not get caught up in sale goggles.&nbsp; Kudos!!<br />Susie - I"m so glad they worked for you!&nbsp; Enjoy them.&nbsp; You had an amazing NAS!!<br />dakotacheryl - that's a fantastic idea.&nbsp; If you know exactly your size and what you want ebay is an incredible resource!!<br />Style fan&nbsp; - I hope you like them!!&nbsp; I looked over for an elevated tee shirt in black and finally gave up until I saw this.&nbsp; It's simple but the cut and material are perfect for me needs.&nbsp; Hope you like them!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1947139 Sat, 11 Aug 2018 19:01:39 +0000 Style Fan 1947139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the recommendation.&nbsp; I will check these out when I am near the EF store in Toronto or Montreal (I think Montreal has one). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1947117 Sat, 11 Aug 2018 17:06:07 +0000 dakotacheryl 1947117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't know what the eBay situation is in Canada...but they often have these EF silk basics listed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1947116 Sat, 11 Aug 2018 16:45:36 +0000 Susie 1947116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this recommendation!

I know how that feels!! It’s just a good price for a very well made basic. Hope you love it!!<br /> Elizabeth - I don’t think you need to wait that long. They sale not infrequently. The tank and cami are scoop necks. The elbow sleeve tunic is the best scoop neck tunic ever. I do not like too high crew necks. This hits me below my sternal notch following the line of my clavicles. This is the sweet spot for me on crews. I don’t mind them slightly lower. I don’t like them higher. Hope that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944751 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 18:45:18 +0000 Elizabeth P 1944751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this, gryffin.&nbsp; I think I might see if I can try one on at regular price, then stalk them next NAS.&nbsp; I'm not a huge fan of crew necks, so am reluctant to spend that much on a whim, and discover the neck is too high for me.&nbsp; But I LOVE the sound of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944749 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 18:01:42 +0000 bj1111 1944749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>darn it...i keep checking recommendations and adding to my bag just when i'm about to post my "i'm done" thread!</p> <p>enablers, one and all.</p> <p>thanks for the size review.&nbsp; i got small through large, just so one will fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944680 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 15:20:47 +0000 gryffin 1944680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - we know!!!&nbsp; You always know the best stuff!!&nbsp; Just putting another vote in for a great basic, especially because it's not as much fun buying them initially, until you realized how much they make getting dressed easier!!</p> <p>Joy- I do the same!&nbsp; Quick dip in woolite and drip dry and voila!!&nbsp; They are the best for travel and layering as no weight!&nbsp; Thanks for the suggestion.&nbsp; I don't wear pants often - leggings, skirted leggings, dresses, so I have not tried her silk pants.&nbsp; But I will watch out for them!!</p> <p>Jenn - that's what I did.&nbsp; Build slowly when I could.

I so wish someone in Wpg would carry EF, but at regular price in Cdn dollars they are out of reach and largely unsaleable in this city. &nbsp;I love the clothing pieces I do have and hope to add more some day. Now you've made me want to add the &nbsp;elbow sleeve tunic and a belt like describe asap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944648 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 14:38:53 +0000 Jenn 1944648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for pointing these out!

I also have several and agree they are great year round. I wash mine and hang to dry. They are also wonderful travel layering pieces. I have both XS and small plus some petite, but PP is too small. Right now our Nordstrom Rack has several in soft white silk that I am stalking. Have you tried the EF silk slim pants? They may work as a layer under winter trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944641 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 14:25:48 +0000 Angie 1944641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES, you are dead right, sweet <b>Gryffin</b>. Many of my clients wear these and love them and across colours (it's a repeat essential from EF). Made them top picks, and thanks for giving them a shout out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944624 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 13:54:38 +0000 Janet 1944624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the belting makes sense. I don't look good in belted styles (the peril of having a short torso and having my narrowest point right under the bust, and I kind of widen from there, ugh), but I see how that would work really well for you. Clever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944610 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 13:16:28 +0000 gryffin 1944610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - the silk knits run small for EF.&nbsp; I needed to size up to a small for the ls tee and cami.&nbsp; The XS in the tee is nicely roomy but too tight on tees looks dated to me.&nbsp; I've been looking for a silk tee, I wanted something more interesting but also no go.&nbsp; This has great sleeves, length not too long or short and crew not to high.&nbsp; Very pleased at the bargain EF price.</p> <p>Colette - often you can find her basics on sale and at that price a bargain because they last forever.&nbsp; Dressier and more substantial than the silk long underwear I tried.&nbsp; I like that I can wear it alone or layered.&nbsp; </p> <p>Janet - agreed much of her apparel is too roomy for me.&nbsp; But the silk drapes like a dream.&nbsp; Did you see her silk or jersey elbow sleeve tunic.&nbsp; I wear it belted (low hip belt) and it's a wardrobe workhorse.&nbsp; In fact, I wear many of her items belted that's how I make them work, often slightly blouson over the belt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944605 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 13:01:20 +0000 Janet 1944605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good recommendation. They do make some really quality things. I ended up getting the blue color block sweater since I culled some sweaters from my wardrobe after last winter, and I really didn't have much in blue in that category. </p> <p>EF fit is often wrong for me -- too roomy through the body unless I'm going for an oversize fit -- but I have never tried these basic tees. I wish EF would do some of those basic cuts in V necks or a narrow scoop neck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944595 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 12:34:57 +0000 Colette 1944595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for this. I’ll keep it in mind when I need to replace my basics. I love silk underpins! I wear silk long underwear, tops and bottoms, in winter and it’s the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-suggestion-before-the-end-of-nas#post-1944590 Fri, 03 Aug 2018 12:26:17 +0000 Suz 1944590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Gryffin</b>! That is a great recommendation. EF quality is really lovely. I'm quickly becoming a convert to EF footwear, that is for sure! I have more trouble with the fit of many of the garments (though not all -- it's always worth trying since some work extremely well) and I agree with you that few things are nicer than a silk knit against the skin.&nbsp; </p>
