Is it even possible?

Thanks.

If you peg and roll the legs and wear trendy footwear and top ( maybe semituck a long top or use a boxy cropped top, I think either could work. It would be better if the crop fabric was linen rather than cotton.
I own a JJill dress and used to have some Talbots but find it hard to make my pieces feel stylish. But neither brand "gets" my body, so that could be the problem.

I don't find my style at Talbots...don't know about JJill...You could add a heel wedgy sandal...as Joy said roll the pants, ...These would be difficult for me to style, my style...

Challenge Styling Up the JJills exceeds my imagination but the Talbots ones are already cute!

I feel like wearing a basic knit top with either is the expected move, so I'd try a different top: a loose white/blue stripe linen button front, semi tucked, would be cute with the first pair, and a pair of metallic Birks or European type sandals. The second is more fitted, so I'd echo that with a drapey top, maybe wrap or faux wrap, like the sleeveless Vince Camuto ones Nordstrom had last summer, and a pair of current sandals, maybe something more covered, like the Steve Maddens with the peeptoe and chunky wooden heel.

Basic white tee, slightly oversided, semi tucked, fitted denim jacket, with sleeves rolled or cuffed. Heels or white cons or Stan smiths, sometimes you need to embrace the classic

I like the styling on Talbots, actually. With the boho top. You could do the sandals from J. Jill for the Cali Coastal package (and stand in front of some sun bleached drift wood, hehe).

For the J. Jill - take away those awful sandals. Haha. Notice how the sandals go from cool to awful? With the wilted lettuce cardigan set, some sandals with minimalist architecture are needed. Maybe flat, peeptoe d'Orsays.

I am echoing Laura on the JJill. Blousy light woven top, popover, maybe some embroidery. At my age it would go straight to mumsie, sigh.
