Everlane, Eileen Fisher & Grayson Try-On Session (Mini Capsule Wardrobe)

Share This!

See outfits I tried on, including the pieces I recently ordered from Everlane, Eileen Fisher and Grayson! I’m sharing reviews of everything, plus find out what I kept for my closet.

Summer will be here soon and I have started planning what I want to include in my Summer capsule wardrobe. I mentioned in my last try-on post, the Loft Try-On Session, that my personal style seems to be changing a bit. I’m gravitating more toward the French Minimalist style and am especially loving linens, neutral colors and relaxed, modern styles.

When I create my Summer capsule (which will probably be in just a few weeks), I’ll probably include several pieces that were in my Summer 2019 capsule, but I’ll include more linen fabrics and neutral colors. I’ve found that since I have been using a capsule wardrobe for a few years now, I’m picky when it comes to keeping clothes. If I don’t absolutely love it, I don’t keep it! That mindset helps me save money, plus keep a lean closet!

With wanting to include more sustainable and ethical brands in my closet, I thought I would try a few pieces from Everlane (#everlane), Eileen Fisher (#eileenfisher) and Grayson (@grayson). I’m so excited that all the pieces I ordered from them all fit great! When I shop for missing pieces in my wardrobe, 90% of the time I order online. Since we live in a rural city about an hour away from all the great shopping centers and stores, it’s more feasible for me personally to shop online. I tend to order more from companies that accept returns just in case a size doesn’t fit and is even better if they offer free returns! I pay close attention to the size chart, so I get my measurements correct. I also read the product reviews and consider them important to further determine the size I need, if the material is see through, runs small, etc.

For size reference, I am 5’9″. For tops, I typically wear a size Medium or Large, depending on the brand and style of the top (slim fit I usually wear a Large). For bottoms, my normal size is a size 10. My shoe size is 9.

I just love how this photo turned out! Since all the clothes and shoes are neutral colors, this could be a mini capsule wardrobe!

Everlane

I was super excited to try on this Everlane Linen Puff Sleeve Top (white) (also in “marigold”), size 10! I have seen this style of top trending at a few retailers lately. It has a French style and looks so dressy! It’s a linen top, so is so comfy and will look great with wide leg pants, like I’m wearing, but also with jeans, skirts and shorts.

Everlane is a sustainable and ethical brand who believes in transparency in how they make their clothes, shoes and accessories and also about sharing their factory operations. Find out more about Everlane’s ethical practices here.

Outfit Details:
Everlane Linen Puff Sleeve Top (white)

Crown Vintage Wedge Espadrilles in “light brown”
Elisa Gold Necklace In “Dichroic Glass”
Uma Gold Cuff Bracelet
Elaina Gold Adjustable Chain Bracelet in “crystal clear”
Elle Gold Drop Earrings in “dichroic glass”

Here’s another look at the Everlane Linen Puff Sleeve Top (white) (just out of the package, so it needs a light ironing):

Here is a closer look at the Crown Vintage Wedge Espadrilles in “light brown”:

Next, I tried on this Everlane Pima Scoop Neck Tee (white) (4 other colors to choose from). I would normally wear a Large, but sized up to an XL, due to this tee being a slim fit. As a general rule, if a top is a slim fit, I size up either to a Large or XL, depending on the brand, so it is not clingy. I really like the neckline and it has a straight hem, so you can wear it tucked in or left untucked for a casual look.

Here’s a closeup of the Everlane Pima Scoop Neck Tee (white)…

Here is what the Everlane Pima Scoop Neck Tee (white) looks like untucked. It’s long enough to leave untucked for a casual look with jeans, pants, a skirt or shorts.

I tried on this Everlane Linen Split Neck Top (white) in a size 10. It fits wonderfully, but I’m not sure if the style suits me. I really was wanting to order the Linen Notch Short Sleeve Shirt in white, but it’s backordered until May 26. I love the way the Everlane Silk Notch Shirt (black) fit, see below, so I added my name to their Waitlist and will order it in a size 10 when it is restocked.

I love how the style of this Everlane Silk Notch Shirt (black) (5 other colors to choose from)! It’s size 10 and fits so good! It’s short enough that you can leave it untucked and wear it with jeans (like shown below), or you can tuck it in for a dressier look. It has a fold-down collar and is a button-down style. Since it’s silk, they recommend dry cleaning, but I’m going to hand wash it using my Laundress Delicate Wash laundry detergent, then lay flat to dry.

Eileen Fisher

I had been eyeing this Eileen Fisher Organic Linen Shell (khaki) and when I saw fellow Influencer/Blogger Crystalin of CrystalinMarie wearing this top in an outfit post, I knew I had to buy it! When it arrived in the mail, I did a quick try on. I loved the khaki color and it fit so perfectly, so yep, I ordered the matching wide leg linen pants! Eileen Fisher is a more expensive brand, but their clothes are considered investment pieces that will last many years. They are also a sustainable and ethical brand. I used a 20% off code from their Welcome Email. Then, about a week later, they sent another email with another 20% off, so I used that code to buy the pants.

Grayson

I have been wanting a well made white shirt for a while. I bought one at Target last year, but when I brought it home, it just didn’t seem to fit well. It didn’t look good half tucked and the pockets were a bit big. This Grayson The Hero Cotton Button Down Shirt (white) meets all requirements of a great fitting white shirt: fit and style, quality material, quality craftsmanship, laid back collar and hem length. It’s a lightweight material, but if you wear a nude bra, it looks great! Since it is a lightweight material, you can wear it by itself or underneath layers. I’m wearing it two ways below: On the left, half tucked in the front and on the right, tied at the waist. I rolled up the sleeves for a casual, relaxed look. Grayson also makes this shirt in linen and also in lyocell.

Which pieces did I keep?

All of them, except the Everlane Linen Split Neck Top (white)! Although I really liked the linen split neck top and it fit beautifully, I’m sending it back and will be buying the Linen Notch Short Sleeve Shirt when it is restocked at the end of this month.

Look for an AGOLDE jeans try-on coming soon on the blog! I have received 3 pairs from my order, but am waiting on the other 2 pairs to arrive. I’m excited to try on several styles, including a couple pairs of straight leg jeans.

A woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. – Proverbs 31:30
