Keep us posted on&nbsp;your journey!&nbsp;<br />(I'll check out EF too, I assumed all were dry clean only so never really explored the brand.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-to-step-away---mmlafleur-its-all-shinys-fault#post-1785628 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 16:01:05 +0000 abc 1785628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thea, I work from home, live a super casual lifestyle and have a 5 and a 4 year old. &nbsp;If I get anything from them, I'll want it to be machine washable, travels well, and fitting my criteria (ie, dresses with sleeves). &nbsp;I do, however, have to travel to visit clients on occasion, so maybe one of their dresses could work for both needs? &nbsp;I was looking at an EF dress for summer (bc I got one last year that has become a workhorse) so if I can find something that fits the bill it may be worth the price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-to-step-away---mmlafleur-its-all-shinys-fault#post-1785476 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 05:07:29 +0000 Thea 1785476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I keep watching their items too, but as a SAHM I don't 'need' most of it. I love the simple&nbsp;tailored look.&nbsp;I&nbsp;sometimes wish I had a few items for those times I need to be a bit dressier than jeans, but worry I would be buying for a fantasy lifestyle. Thanks MsMary for the input on good customer service - nice to know if I do buy from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-to-step-away---mmlafleur-its-all-shinys-fault#post-1785447 Thu, 09 Mar 2017 03:58:32 +0000 Penny 1785447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the company and vision, although I've returned most of what I've ordered - I did keep and love the black Alexandra dress.

I love it so much. I do work in a business casual office, so many of these pieces work for that, as well as for when I dress up to meet clients.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also took this shirt with me on vacation last year and wore it all the time.

I do remember seeing some that are along the lines of what I'm looking for for spring/summer. Actually i had forgotten about the brand until someone resurrected this old thread.

I still love the idea of the brand I have just resisted so far bc it's not my primary lifestyle need now. I used to work in a corporate office, it would have been perfect back then. Now I wfh 90% or more of the time so I don't need this workwear capsule, sadly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tell-me-to-step-away---mmlafleur-its-all-shinys-fault#post-1785263 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 17:55:58 +0000 MsMary 1785263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a bento box a while back and loved it all -- especially the Nisa dress below.
