Talbots Trunk Show

What else is more fun on a cloudy Friday afternoon than a visit with some of my favorite people at Talbots and seeing some new fashions?

The atmosphere was alive and buzzing with excitement when I got to the store. It's always fun to see people that I enjoy working with and meeting new ones too! One of the things I love most about Talbots is that they treat all of their customers with care and respect. You can tell they all truly love what they do. 

The brand is classic with their styles and fabrics yet on trend with updated patterns and accessories. I loved taking a look around the store before and after the show to see and feel all of the items in the new line.

 Three of the stores in the area combined forces along with a Regional Sales Manager to make this fashion show happen. I loved that they used their customers to model the fashions too!

I walked away with a few things including this look from today:


Sweater and skirt- Talbots (recent)
Boots- Avenue (recent online)


And now here's the recap on some of my favorite looks from the show:

 Fair Isle sweaters are super popular right now, especially as it's getting colder and closer to the holiday. Pair one of these with a fun plaid shirt and some five pocket cords. Remember pattern mixing is fun- just stay within the same color family.


 Vanilla is a great color and it's Talbots take on white for winter. I saw a couple of looks featuring vanilla with pastels like a puffer vest with a cable sweater and circle skirt  as well as a fun holiday sweater with wool pants with a fur snood.



 I love the look of a classic pencil skirt! A pencil skirt can be dressed up or down and is so functional for work or a casual look. This one was dressed down with a denim shirt and a cardigan but added a statement necklace for some additional interest. This is actually a look I love and wear often!



 One of my favorite looks for fall and winter this year is buffalo check. I saw this skirt and immediately knew it needed to make its way into my closet! I loved this outfit on the mannequin in the store and was pleased that my Talbots personal shopper and friend, Janet, also picked this look out for me!

 I had such a great time at the show! It was awesome getting to see people from my favorite store and to see all of the new looks!

 Thanks for reading and following along with me!

Sunday Style: Green

Image
Green is my favorite color. I think it brings out the color in my eyes and it looks great with my skin tone.There's lots of sayings with green in them too. Give the green light. Green thumb. Going green. (Make no mistake- I didn't say Go Green- that's for all you Spartan fans out there). Green around the gills. Green with envy- well, don't be green with envy but I am sitting here in sunny Florida enjoying the warm weather and time with family and friends... This green dress has been hanging in my closet for a while but this was the first time that I got it out. I scored it on a major sale but just haven't had a chance to wear it. I always say why wait for a special occasion?  What I love most about this dress is the neckline. I tell you all the time that it's hard for me to wear a straight skirt or dress and this is no exception. I like the look of it but I do think I'll spend a few more dollars and have it tailored a little more. I paired nude pumps...

Sunday Style: JJ’s House

Image
It’s been said in various ways that clothes don’t make the person, the person makes the clothes. I believe this to be exceptionally true in this beautiful dress that I am wearing in today’s post! This dress literally made me wish that I was heading out to the opera or a benefit dinner. I love that I get to wear and model a lot of clothes and some just feel more special than others. This dress was custom made for me so I got all the feels while I was zipping it up and looking in the mirror. It fits like a glove and I could not be more in love with it!  Let’s talk about  JJ’s House  for a minute. They have all sorts of dresses for special occasions, including bridal wear! I picked out a dress and did my measurements and sent them in with my order. They even called me once to make sure that my measurements were correct so they made sure to make the dress correctly!  This  dress  has gorgeous nude tulle with a black lace overlay. I literally felt like a princes...
