Right now, it's the bottoms I need.<br /><br />@Funny!!! Don't feel bad. Eileen (who is a big seller) has become convenient shorthand for the middle-aged female body. Some of the on-line vitriol is amazing. One 30something declares that if you just exercise a little, your stomach will never get mushy. So you will never need that stretchy waistband. <br /><br />But the EF line can be too big and boxy. <br />I checked with my infallible daughter.Frugal Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696815672500452503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-11304386334009829182009-08-13T21:22:31.500-05:002009-08-13T21:22:31.500-05:00{sigh} Makes me feel dowdy and stupid: Eileen Fish...{sigh} Makes me feel dowdy and stupid: Eileen Fisher is my favorite line of clothes, when I can afford something more than Costco specials. Most of her stuff fits, doesn't HURT (!), and looks to my naive eye more or less acceptable.<br /><br />Jeez. No wonder those women in Saks treat me like pore white trash: apparently my taste in clothing signals my tacky origins once again. ;-)Funny about Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188173788063351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-77154825924109408352009-08-13T18:10:35.775-05:002009-08-13T18:10:35.775-05:00Pseu has some very practical, attractive Eileen Fi...Pseu has some very practical, attractive Eileen Fisher tops that she says are an important mainstay in her travel wardrobe -- she was wearing one when we met in Vanc'r a month or so ago. I think any of the pieces could make a good a base, to be accessorized for more style and personality,materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-29812552589593205972009-08-13T09:02:51.128-05:002009-08-13T09:02:51.128-05:00@Duchesse--I agree with you about the tops.

And pants always too short. <br /><br />There are genius EF pieces; mixing them in works well for many women.<br /><br />You are the luckiest, most adept thrifter ever, it is true!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.com
