Last week, the Red Chair Confessions finally gave us the scoop that Talbots is revamping their look and offering sleeker, trendier fashions. I’m a clothes horse without the budget to match, so lets just pretend for a few minutes that I have $500 to spend at Talbots on new fall clothes.
The first thing I would buy is a snappy new jacket, and I’m absolutely in love with this sweater jacket. It’s perfect for laying with tshirts, blouses, and turtle necks. That’s why I need it in red berry and palamino. When I know what I like, I need it in multiple colors.
Next I’d buy a good pair of denim trousers. I can wear them for work and casual, and they are super comfy with a wider leg and bandless waist. No muffin top!
That leaves me with a little money for this cotton sateen shirt in green, a pique knit tee in tigerlilly, and finally the jewel-print shirt in red berry.





Not too shabby for just $500, eh? Now, if only I could get my hands on $500 of fun money!
If something at the new and improved Talbots has caught your eye, make sure to enter to win a $100 Talbots gift card on my other blog!
