I love a lot of Eileen Fisher clothing, but you are right that it is so expensive. I also like that her clothes are fashionable but aren't going to go out of style any time soon. I recently complemented a co-worker on her pant suit and she told me it is really old--and it's Eileen Fisher. It was so classic looking and has stayed in style even though it was old. She was starting to worry because she felt that the pants were getting threadbare and dreaded the day when they would wear out.
I was at a store recently with a friend who shops expensive (I rarely go shopping with her because we are not that compatible financially as shoppers). I saw some E.F. clothes that I was drooling over but didn't even consider trying on because of the price. They were actually on sale, but even the drastically reduced prices are out of my budget. My friend tried to convince me to try them because she thought the price was reasonable (she buys much more expensive things all the time) and worth it because of quality. Well, perhaps they are worth it because of quality, but there is the little problem of not actually being able to afford it. LOL.
The only fault I find with Fisher's clothes is all the linen, which isn't very practical. Ironing is not part of my repetoire! I do own some linen items, and have them cleaned and pressed at the cleaners, but having a lot of linen clothes isn't practical for me.
