On a shoppimg to her favorite consignment shop, we got into a major fight over Talbot's boiled wool jackets. I left with a beautiful, barely used jacket for $7.00 (I think they retail for $100.00)! She got a slightly nicer one for $10.00. That was 2 years ago and I STILL love it! Good for anything from blue jeans to casual dresses. A lot of big girls sell at consignment stores after they drop a size. My sister used to work for Talbot’s.

I'm also lucky enough to have several Talbot's stores in driving distance -- and I've found that their in-store semi-annual sales and sales racks have stuff that's not on sale online! So get out there and shop in person too, if you can. They're also very sweet about calling around to another store if they don't have your size in stock.

The "classic" look suits me, and the petite women's sizes fit me which is half the battle. I'm so pleased with the quality of the clothing. This past summer they had white pants with tan pocket linings so they wouldn't show so much - great attention to detail. I was so impressed, I wrote them a letter. Also, I bought a scarf there the other day and the tags were secured to it with just a couple of stitches so they could be easily removed without damaging the fabric (I love them for that).

The semi-annual sales are in the summer and holiday time (6 months apart), the mid-season sales are in spring and fall (again about 6 months apart). So, you can reasonably assume there is going to be some sort of sale every three months. With the email, you'll also find out about each markdown! Plus, Talbots has the best return policy around--no time limit! If you see that special item in your size and there aren't many left, and you can't make up your mind, just buy it! Take it home, try it on (clothes always look different once you get them home, must be that horrible mall lighting) and then decide if it is a must have. You can always return it!

I always, however, find good items at their semi-annual sales, mainly wool crepe basic suiting pieces. I’ve been a Talbots cardholder since 1992, when I was wearing straight sizes mostly.

It truly is important to ask yourself, "Will I lie in bed for the next three months regretting not buying that cute orange and pink silk sundress for only $12 at that resale shop in Boston as opposed to buying it and possibly thinking, 'Oh heck, it was only $12?'" It's always better to err on the side of, "I wish I hadn't bought that" instead of, "I'll never have that chance again." Remorse is better than regret. Francesca, you are so right.

The times I have paid full price I've rarely regretted it, because a) usually my size sells out before they go on sale, and b) most of their clothes are so timeless that I wear them for several seasons. It's funny, a lot of people tend to think of Talbot's as being fuddy-duddy, but my Talbot's items are the ones that garner the most compliments. Another lover (mostly) of Talbot’s here.

I just bought an Italian Twill linen and cotton blend suit with a matching shirt for under $100 - a steal considering that the jacket alone retailed at $202. Keep those discounts and shopping tips coming! Thanks for the reminder about Talbot’s outlet store!
