We’re due for a spot of rain this week, and our temps have dropped once more, however I’ve swapped my wardrobe over and gearing up for the new climate that I do know is headed our approach. By the point summer time units in right here, I’m planning my escape from the warmth and dwelling virtually completely in light-weight cotton and linen. I do know many ladies battle with the best way linen wrinkles, and it’s an acquired style, however I couldn’t survive the summer time with out it.

For our fashion edit over 50 this month, Cindy and I are sharing how we’re styling just a few Eileen Fisher items into our spring wardrobe that have been generously gifted to us. The whole lot gifted is marked c/o. Mixing and matching items helps stretch your wardrobe, so getting dressed is less complicated. There’s nothing simpler than black and white, so right this moment, I’m exhibiting a number of methods to combine issues up

Right here’s a column of white, topped with an ethereal, crochet-type linen high. I’ve fond reminiscences of an identical pullover a few years in the past, which was invaluable to pop over so many issues for arm protection. This appears to run bigger than standard, and I may have worn an XS, so I counsel you dimension down. If it got here in white, I’d order it in a heartbeat. Since I’m bigger on high than the underside, I front-tucked this into my Mom straight-leg denims to point out some form. I’m a type of individuals who put their denims within the dryer and actually admire that Mom denims are designed to do exactly that and are available out wanting model new.

I saved particulars easy on this look in order to not overpower the weave of this high. I’m sporting pearls studs with this brief black seed bead & pearl necklace as a result of something longer may get snagged within the high.

For this look, I paired an natural linen cropped cardigan over a easy black cotton/spandex tank. This can be a look I’ll put on all spring. The cardigan size nods to my (non-existent) waistline with out having to tuck something in. This can be a nice little cardigan for arm protection that received’t be too sizzling in the summertime. Will probably be barely hotter than my blue one I shared right here just because black absorbs the solar making it really feel hotter. My denims are a straight-leg medium blue wash, and I added my tremendous comfortable Franco Sarto sandals.

Right here, I tossed the identical little cardigan over my Eileen Fisher cotton costume that I styled 5 methods for you right here. A number of girls thought this costume was hitting my leg at an unflattering, vast spot, however you possibly can see right here that it doesn’t. I have to get on my photographer (husband) to observe these angles 🤣.

I added an Eileen Fisher Obi belt (comparable right here) that’s as outdated because the hills and nude sandals to elongate my legs. FYI, ankle straps visually chop your legs on the ankle and will not be often elongating. Nonetheless, in the event that they’re a nude shade that blends into your pores and skin, you may get away with it.

Right here I’m pairing a button-up white linen costume, worn open as a duster, over a white tank and black linen trousers. I like a easy white costume in the summertime, however realizing me, I’ll in all probability put on this like a duster greater than I do a costume. It is available in 4 colours, and I couldn’t resist basic white. The linen trousers are far more flattering than most pull-on kinds as a result of these have a zipper entrance and add much less bulk across the tummy however nonetheless have an elastic waist. They arrive in 4 colours and are a terrific weight for the summer time, so I purchased the pure colour.

Right here’s the identical linen costume worn over my white denims with the black tank. I sized up within the tank as a result of I hate once they cling to my torso. I’d additionally like this look with a white tank or a column of one other pale colour below it. I’d put on it as a costume with a pure straw bag, some raffia earrings, and nude sandals.

This head-to-toe black linen look is barely punctuated by nude wedges, a silver bracelet, a brief necklace, and my favourite hoop earrings. I may have worn black sandals, however I’m actually loving the impact of nude footwear lately. I’ve had these wedges for years (comparable right here) and discover them very comfortable.

Let’s go see how Cindy is styling a few of her items at Cindy Hattersley Design.
