I have a couple of Talbots shirts that were given to me and I am so impressed by their quality and staying power. Between those and your posts, I am thinking I need to get over there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171770 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:44:12 +0000 Gigi 1171770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, this is one of your best outfits, imho! The green looks really nice on you. You look nice in that pencil skirt, too. The whole outfit really is flattering to your figure.</p> <p>I agree about sometimes just admitting when a particular retailer works. For me, it's Banana Republic. Regarding Nordie's, have you talked to an SA about the types of fit issues you have? I talked to an SA in Nordie's petites' and explained some of my difficulties, and she was able to recommend a couple of designer lines for me to try. So far, one of them (I haven't yet tried the other) is working quite well, and I've bought a couple of things from that line that really give me a high happiness quotient. :^) I still peruse the Banana every month or so to see what's available, but it's so nice to have variety! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171549 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:41:56 +0000 kellygirl 1171549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, thistle! You are so pretty in that shade of green. The silhouette is so flattering too. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171547 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:40:00 +0000 rabbit 1171547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171540 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:32:30 +0000 Helena 1171540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the first thing I noticed was the necklace - it is perfect here, and a great 'find'! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171510 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:09:01 +0000 AviaMariah 1171510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, I love that green on you. &nbsp;I agree with your "if it ain't broke don't fix it". &nbsp;You look great in your Talbot pieces and they look very classic on you and you always infuse some fun and trendiness with your great flat shoe collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171463 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:31:36 +0000 Catnip 1171463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, you look great.&nbsp; The sweater is lovely, and the necklace is just the right length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171460 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:26:32 +0000 E 1171460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love the necklace! And you look really good in this neckline, no worries about needing a v one instead. I come across Talbots clothes while thrifting; they're usually not in my size, but they're always of the most delicious fabric that makes me wish they were. Lucky you fitting so well into their clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171457 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:19:58 +0000 Eliza 1171457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear green so beautifully. There is a reason this look is classic- that skirt is beautiful! I admire your tenacity in this inhospitable winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171456 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:18:31 +0000 biscuitsmom 1171456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I love that shade of green on you :)&nbsp;&nbsp; Agree how the necklace works really well with it. Enjoy the fleeting warmth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171451 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:11:56 +0000 Emily 1171451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well the look is certainly effortless.&nbsp;&nbsp;Love it! &nbsp;I think the pendant lends a really flattering line to the crew neck sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171444 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:57:37 +0000 catherine 1171444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great outfit on you, Thistle.&nbsp; Really flattering, and the green is perfect with your coloring (at least as it appears on my monitor :)).&nbsp; Nicely done.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171441 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:55:26 +0000 Anonymous 1171441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty green! Nice skirt too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171438 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:53:00 +0000 Sara L. 1171438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the green on you and the necklace adds interest. &nbsp;I agree that if it's not broken, then don't fix it. &nbsp;You are able to make the classic pieces from Talbots fit your style by wearing interesting shoes and accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171429 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:47:46 +0000 Thistle 1171429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like Talbots was designed for figures similar to mine. So many of their clothes just work for me. And while their sizing is remarkably consistent, if I need to size up out of misses into women's, I can there.&nbsp; And they carry my size in their stores if I want to go try on, unlike so many retailer is my area that carry my size online but only stock up to a size 12 in the store.</p> <p>I also love their quality.</p> <p>I have been trying hard to find pieces from other retailers like Nordstrom's and Ann Taylor to infuse a bit more trend into my wardrobe as Talbots is really more classic than on trend, but I feel like a struggle so much more. I have given up completely on J Crew and the like. &nbsp;</p> <p>Sometimes I feel like if it's not broken, don't fix it&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171420 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:38:37 +0000 pil 1171420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful green! I believe this neckline is as nice on you as a v neck. You do have good luck at Talbots, don't you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171418 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:37:29 +0000 Kimberley 1171418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous green, Thistle!&nbsp; I love it with your hair.&nbsp; Enjoy your heat wave </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-02192014---some-effort-required#post-1171415 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:36:04 +0000 Thistle 1171415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been tropically warm here. Got up to 38F yesterday and today it is supposed to hit 40F. I traded out my puffer for my wool coat and felt over heated in my hat and gloves!&nbsp; The frigid cold returns this weekend, so I made the effort for a skirt. They are so much more of a pain than trousers in the winter!</p> <p>The sweater is a replacement for an AT sweater that developed a hole after 2 wears. I wish it was a v-neck like the AT, but I do like the texturing, and the merino wool is far warmer than the AT cotton.</p> <p>I added my watch and a necklace I have had since I was a kid. I have no idea how it survived so many moves and almost 30 years, but it looks almost good as new. Found it in an old box in the basement I had completely forgotten about. Everything else was donated :)</p> <p>Pencil skirt- Ann Taylor<br />Green merino sweater - Talbots<br />Boots - Ugg </p>
