I really need to start wearing a bib when I eat. Or anytime, really. I wore this yesterday and thank goodness for mirror selfies, because my hand/phone is hiding the large oily salad dressing stain I got on this shirt while I was eating lunch. Ugh. It’s happened before with this shirt, and others, and The Laundress stain solution takes the stains right out, no problem. Still though. I should probably start wearing an apron for cooking and a bib for eating.
I have also gotten my rosehip facial oil all over my clothes (it squirts out in a not so nice way if I’m not careful) if I get dressed right away after my shower. So I’m trying to remember to wear my robe until I’m finished with my super-short & sweet “beauty” routine also. What a mess 🙂
Anyway, of note: stock is dwindling, but the black linen version of my top is on sale for $60 ($40 if you use my REFERRAL LINK for a $20 account credit when you create a new account at Garmentory – I will get one too) in medium, and the black cotton version is on sale for $55.
As for the new Black Crane arrivals, I love the penguin dress. It’s very similar to the long quilted dress I had a year or so ago but I think the slit in the back would make it much easier to walk in. I’m actually thinking of ordering it…I do usually order one Black Crane piece every new season, because they sell out quickly, but I’m hesitating a bit this time because I’ve not worn them much in the past. I do always love the pieces though!
Has anyone bought a new Black Crane piece yet this season? I know Jen has…anyone else?

Yay, thank you so much, Grechen! I just ordered the linen top in black. 🙂 And what brand of rosehip oil do you use? I’ve been using Acure, but the dispenser is terrible and it always spurts out everywhere.
Oh yay! I use aura cacia rosehip oil from Whole Foods. If I’m careful and press gently I don’t make such a big mess 😉
Oh I’ve ruined so many shirts with oil stains. I definitely wear an apron while cooking now. Eating though… I may have to try that stain solution.
Do you have any experience with the sizing of the Origami top? There’s one left in peacock (my fav color!) but it’s a S. I usually wear a M in most big-box sizes, S in Eileen Fisher. I tried on that navy Black Crane top in Slowre recently and it fit perfectly (this was a L but the notes said it ran small for Black Crane). Any guess if crossing my fingers with a S is lunacy?
i haven’t tried it on, but if i was ordering it, i’d order the small – it looks quite drapey…and i’m short, so the length of the small is usually better for me. and i pretty much always take small in eileen fisher tops….
hope that helps a little!
I saw a few great pieces at Ganeaux recently, but (maybe luckily?!?) they weren’t in my size. I love the way Black Crane drapes and fits my larger frame, so I’m looking forward to getting something, but I have to plan for it. (I guess that’s called budgeting…foreign concept!)
It’s not this season, but I got the Origami jumper recently. Super fun shape and comfy to wear, but a really drab color (oatmeal) because it was all that was left in my size, so I plan to overdye it in indigo. Working up the nerve to do it…maybe this weekend!
oh! good idea!! i love the origami jumper and almost got one a few times 🙂
