I think the grey pair look much better. The taupe linen were washed and need to be ironed, but they will get a new photo too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1505136 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 16:55:59 +0000 Anonymous 1505136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin, I'm glad the descriptions helped. Thank you for coming back to comment.<br /> Shannon, I thought of you when posting this thread. You are my inspiration.<br /> Daria, taking the ebay photos is a good idea. I'd not thought of it.<br /> Brooklyn, Sterling, Dakotacheryl, and dinner, thank you. I think that I will enjoy these pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1505009 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:20:31 +0000 donnat 1505009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some lovely pieces there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504997 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 12:57:06 +0000 Daria 1504997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like the top in 2/3 and the pants rolled. :)<br />As for the photos, sometimes I find photos of my items on ebay - they are often better quality than what I can do myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504993 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 12:53:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1504993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SQUEEE!!!!

MsMaven, I am thrilled that you see an effortlessly polished look as that is what I aspire to.<br /> Shevia, thank you for your honest assessment of that first top. I suspect that it may become a layering piece and will try that another day. I think I fell for the buttons.<br /> Debbie, I love these shoes and am surprised that I wear the " Quartz" color more than the black so far. I want to wear them every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504868 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 03:13:17 +0000 Anonymous 1504868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The third outfit is a long 100% light taupey grey fine knit tank with a scattering of the tiniest little grey sequins in front in a loose V under the scooped neck. I tucked some of the shirt into the waistband of the pants so that the loose part draped across stomach in front and hips in back at a diagonal.<br /> The Eileen a Fisher pants are a knit pull-on of viscose, nylon and Lycra. They are fitted but not tight and the narrow legs can be left full length of rolled. They are wonderful for summer. These are a medium grey.<br /> The shoes are Rockport slip on athletic maryjanes with a strap across the top of the foot and rubber soles. These pants work best for me with a long top or topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504866 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 03:12:39 +0000 Debbie 1504866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the EF pieces and I am lusting after those EF Allot shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504861 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 03:00:47 +0000 Anonymous 1504861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second EF top worn with the same pants and shoes is a wonderful floaty light-weight silk printed with a design that reminds me of marble or drops of paint on wet paper that spread out. The colors are greys, taupes, dark brown and a rust. The pattern is not evenly spaced but more like a painting. It continues on the back. The print keeps the pull-on woven top from being transparent so that a cami isn't needed. Cooler in heat that way. It has a slight scooped neck and falls loosely from the shoulders and neck so that it moves when you move. The taupe, a major color in the print, is close to the color of the pants.<br /> (To be continued) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504853 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 02:52:29 +0000 Jaime 1504853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like the second and third outfit. The tank shape is gorgeous on you. I also love the long shorts. If I am going to be picky, the first top is very nice but seems a bit short for the pants. Nonetheless you look lovely there too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504852 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 02:50:50 +0000 Anonymous 1504852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Robin, I will try to describe more. There are three outfits, the first two both having the same pants and different tops that I want opinions about. The pants are a soft slightly draped medium taupey tan linen, bigger at the top and then the legs taper to the ankle where there is a sewn flat cuff. I am wearing them at their full length here, but on a hotter day they can be rolled higher on the calf. They are rather wrinkled on the legs as happens with linen.<br /> The first top worn with them is a sleeveless pale taupe linen with simple straight lines. The top buttons up the front with lovely little decorative buttons covered with the same linen as the top. I am wearing it untucked and it hits a bit below the waistband with little slits at the side seems. The whole look seems soft and slightly slouchy. On my feet I am wearing an EF flat shoe that shows the foot between closed somewhat pointed toe and closed heel with zippers on the back. There is a wide soft ankle wrap ( wide stretchy fabric strap that matches the shoe). The color of the shoes is a medium taupe similar to the color of the pants.<br /> ( I will continue in another post as my iPad sometimes freezes up) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504844 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 02:32:21 +0000 MsMaven 1504844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in #4 &amp; 5. All look cool and comfy, but the last two have the effortlessly polished look I love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504843 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 02:29:56 +0000 Robin 1504843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blindgal reporting for duty: Can't give you feedback on the pants, but as a recent EF initiate, my mouth is watering to hear about all the EF pieces you have.

The light palette is very soft and calming. I love the speckled print on the silk shell and the rolled pants in #4 look like a great fit. The sleeveless tank looks good over them. </p> <p>Re-photo taking... If I can't get things to look good on a hanger I lay them flat on a very pale floor instead and get a picture from above.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504631 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:01:52 +0000 pil 1504631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You found some nice treasures! I love the silk shell and the way you are also able to roll the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lots-of-eileen#post-1504627 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 18:48:27 +0000 Anonymous 1504627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Continuing my personal June challenge of finding and analyzing pieces in my summer closet, this week new-to-me items, I pulled out EF pieces I'd found last winter on consignment or eBay but had yet to style. These are mid to light neutrals.<br /> Yesterday I wore consignment EF linen ankle pants, consignment EF linen buttondown in linen, and EF Allot shoes. I also tried on an eBay find of EF silk print she'll, perfect for hot weather.<br /> Today I am wearing EF viscose blend pants bought last year for a trip with an EF eBay buy of light gray tank with beading. These pants can also be worn ankle length or rolled. Usually I wear the Allot shoes but today have on Rockport athletic flats for the gym. I also am using a very old EF white unlined jacket for air conditioning.<br /> I'd appreciate your thoughts, critique and suggestions, if you aren't EFd out.<br /> (Terrible photos of the pants in Finds. I need to figure out a better way to photograph them.) </p>
