I have worn that EF jumpsuit into the ground. Loooove it. I think I found an alternative for the white dress! This one comes in black and olive linen, too...and they have sleeveless and long-sleeve versions. I'm just waiting to hear back on a sizing question before I order. (I'd wear it with the wrap in front...it's shown the other way around, but cut to be reversible.)</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.twofoldclothing.com/collections/all/products/short-sleeve-clara-dress-in-linen">https://www.twofoldclothing.co.....s-in-linen</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-my-spring-capsule/page/2#post-2178132 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 18:06:02 +0000 Janet 2178132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Somehow I completely missed this thread until now, but I really hope you can find that white dress. It’s such a nice cut. I’d be tempted by it in the black Lyocel but I’m not sure it would be cool enough for our summers. I’m always on the lookout for another breezy black summer dress and they are not easy to find. If I see the white crop up on Poshmark I’ll let you know, as I’m keeping an eye on a couple of things there. </p> <p>I really like that EF cropped jumpsuit too. I bet that would be great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-my-spring-capsule/page/2#post-2178123 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 17:35:55 +0000 Anonymous 2178123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! &nbsp;Eddie Bauer has some great finds.

I very well might still order it, but it wouldn't be appropriate for high summer here unless I never planned to leave the AC.</p> <p><b>Vildy,&nbsp;</b>I feel similarly about Pinterest sometimes, too. Sure, you theoretically have the whole Internet to choose from there, but our experience, even of the "whole Internet", is always filtered and targeted.

In general I’m noticing much smaller stocks and more sell-outs this year than in the past. And it seems like more companies are listing things as pre-orders with weeks or months wait time. Supply chain is a challenge...</p> <p>I totally agree with Sal that striped tees are perfect for adding just a little bit of white without it feeling like too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/planning-my-spring-capsule/page/2#post-2177423 Tue, 09 Mar 2021 22:47:17 +0000 Jenn 2177423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: I tried to order the black tiered midi today and it’s out of stock until late May, so it definitely won’t be a centerpiece of my spring capsule.

Plus several others including French speakers on a word forum not understanding why a “missy” in person when spoken to is a young woman, but in fashion is a more mature woman- and they were trying to find the same category in their own department stores etc. I would have posted the link if I hadn’t been on my phone where I can’t.<br /> Synne, regarding accepting cookies, on my IPhone I just clear the history every night.
