Talbots Try-Ons

Hi, everyone! It’s been a while since I did a try-on video, so I thought I would vlog the fall-winter looks at our local stores over the next month or so. I’m starting with Talbots, because I saw several items on line that I wanted to be sure and try on during their 30-40-percent-off mid-season sale–which is still going on.

I concentrated on casual looks, because that’s my lifestyle most of the time, and my goodness I saw so many great items.

Below you’ll find photographs of eight looks I put together in the dressing room. You can also see the two outfits I wore to shop during the two times I was there.

If you already have any of these items I show here, or similar, please let me know how you style them. I’d love to know!

Talbots Try-Ons: Day 1

TALBOTS OUTFIT #1: BARN COAT, RUFFLE POPOVER, JEANS

classic-fashion-over-40-talbots-bright-pumpkin-quilted-coat-slim-ankle-jean

(ABOVE & BELOW) Quilted Barn Coat in Bright Pumpkin and Five-Pocket Slim Ankle Jeans in Vanilla Wash. For the Long-Sleeve Clipdot Popover in Pale Blue/Light Blue (not available on line), call Talbots at Waterside Shops (239-597-2330). (But there is a classic Denim Shirt on line.) I ended up ordering the Barn Coat that evening, since I couldn’t stop thinking about it (in the size seen here, Extra Small).  I didn’t buy the jeans, because I prefer a skinny-jean fit. (These were a Misses 2, with a 29.5″ inseam.)

(ABOVE) The Barn Coat can be adjusted in back to fit tighter or looser. I liked it cinched in.

(ABOVE) The plaid lining is inside the sleeves, too, so if you fold them up you can see the cute pattern!

TALBOTS OUTFIT #2: PONCHO, LONG BUTTON UP, PLAID LEGGINGS

classic-fashion-over-40-talbots-ash-heather-cowlneck-poncho-plaid-longer-shirt

(ABOVE & BELOW) Aran-Stitched Cowlneck Poncho in Ash Heather, Windowpane Plaid Longer Shirt in Ivory/Indigo Blue, and Ponte Knit Glen Plaid Leggings. I loved (and bought) the shirt and poncho, but decided not to get the leggings, even though they’re adorable. I already have navy ones that will work well.

(ABOVE & BELOW) The Poncho is 50% cotton, 25% wool, and 25% nylon–cozy, but not too hot for our Florida winters, and I love the color.

classic-fashion-over-40-talbots-windowpane-plaid-longer-shirt-glen-plaid-leggings

(ABOVE & BELOW) Windowpane Plaid Longer Shirt in Ivory/Indigo Blue and Ponte Knit Glen Plaid Leggings. I bought this shirt, a Size Small. I normally wear an Extra Small, but I liked the looser, longer look of the larger size.

(ABOVE & BELOW) Olive Moss Sweater, Long Drapey Shirt in Hollyhock Multi, Ponte Knit Leggings in Loden. (These leggings, a Size Small, were not my correct size and were too large. They should have fit just like the Glen Plaid Leggings earlier in this post, which were Extra Small.)

(ABOVE & BELOW) Talbots Five-Pocket Jeggings in Shore Line Wash and Tattersall Plaid Shirt. I returned to Talbots three days later specifically to try on these Jeggings (which I ended up buying). Oh my gosh, they are my new favorite jeans/jeggings! I love the skinny fit and high waist.

(ABOVE & BELOW) Frenchie Tee in Soft Rosebud and Five-Pocket Jeggings in Shoreline Wash. On the way to the dressing room I saw this t-shirt. The short sleeves are actually longer than shown here; I simply rolled them up a few times. I bought the tee to wear with bottoms both alone and peeking out under jackets/cardigans.
