LOVE IT! with brown. Talbots is the best but in my area the 22s and 24s sell out fast and the clothes I like don't seem to make it to the sale! I bought this sweater set in the coral-y orange color.

The only thing I wish is that TW had more dresses. There are three stores within reasonable distance of me -- Pasadena, South Coast Plaza and University Towne Centre (all SoCal) that have the women's sizes.

At the end of a book that is alternately poignant, hilarious, and shocking, I found I was able to see myself in a much more appreciative light. I've shared it with most of the women in my life and now, I suppose, I am sharing it with you! It's a quick, easy read that you will find hard not to pass around to women you love, no matter what their shape. And if you get the chance to go see her do the show live, GO! It's an incredible experience.

If you go to Talbots.com and click on their store locator, you can find these treasure troves! Francesca's MO is to go to Talbots' WP section twice a year, during their semi-annual sale, and to take one of everything from the sales racks, try them on, and leave with hundreds of dollars worth of merchandise. Talbots is my dream store. Between Talbots and Igigi, I think I don't ever have to shop anywhere else. Francesca says:

I had no idea - NO IDEA - that Talbot's had WP sizes. WHY did this never come to my attention!? Do they have WP in the stores too!? (be still my heart) I've never shopped there, but now I definitely want to check it out. The clothing looks work-friendly - just what I need. Francesca and Plumcake - please point us in the direction of more stores that carry W and WP! ;-) Ok … this is why I’ve been checking this site: shopping resources.
