This distresses me. Eileen Fisher clothes actually fit me (amazing), and were my clothing of choice when I had some television appearances.

I worked hard to get to the point in my life and career where I could afford EF clothes and I love every piece I own. As I move on to a more fixed income, it is not likely that I will purchase another $300 wrap or $200 sweater. I look for these items in consignment stores – and see more and more EF items on the racks . We bobos must be wanting to get something back on at least one of our investments! My thirty something daughter, however, has the cash in hand, buys things brand new – and will for many years. Maybe Eileen knows something about planning for her own retirement.

Certainly share disappointment that E. Fisher doesn’t think we’re a hip enough demographic to design for. Wish she’d design something new and hip for us rather than turn to younger women who have everyone in the world trying to make them the perfect jean. There’s a long way to go for us to have more style–I never know, am I going toward more fitted and figure hugging or back to the CP Shades overall color and flow I used to love…would love some new ideas from Eileen. Can recommend Salaam as a style, soft and attractive jersey blends, particularly great skirts cut on bias that just slip on and off, roomy enough for comfort but not BIG. Also really liked the previous post on being less fearful about breast cancer.

Very funny, Susan. I don’t think I have any Eileen Fisher, so you’ve got one up on me.
