I have an Eileen Fisher gray knit sheath (?) or maybe it's a jumper - or maybe just a sleeveless dress with a long matching sweater that I bought at the Eileen Fisher store in Soho. Way too expensive, but very classic styling.
I later found the matching slacks on sale here in California. I always feel very country club/grown-up when I wear that ensemble - but out here, it's rarely cold enough.
Eileen Fisher is pretty pricey and there is NO WAY I will commit to linen. I wear linen five seconds and look like a bag lady (whoever said linen looks "fresh" must have been talking about it in terms of mannequin wear).
When I started losing my waist with perimenopause I fell in love with Chicos clothing. I have worn the h*ll out of travelers collection pieces (actually had to buy a second pair of pants because I literally wore the first pair out). There's a Chicos outlet in Ontario, CA - and supposedly one in Camarillo, CA and the bargains are unbelievable. One time I had a $25 coupon (when you get "involved" with Chicos you get in their "Passport Club" and they send catalogs, coupons, birthday gift certificates, etc. Anyway, I had this $25 gift certificate and went to the outlet mall and ended up spending $1.37 and got $275.00 worth of clothes (at the outlet stores they mark down some racks at 75% off of the lowest prices - usually things have been marked down a couple of times, plus, you get a 5% discount when you're a "Passport" member).
Here's the website: www.chicos.com
Great clothes for comfort.
I more or less "bought" my waist back with Adderall and major liposuction - but on those days when I feel like clothes P*SS me off (yes, I have ADD and the way clothes FEEL is a major issue with me as well) I always fall back on the Chicos stuff.
