Janice M LeCocq A visiting friend wanted to go because she had a coupon. I hadn’t been to a Talbots since about 1999! I’d found their clothing line too conservative for my post-retirement life. Black and navy suits with simple tops, as I may unfairly recall. I didn’t expect much on this visit. But t I wanted to please her. Well, what a change! Great variety of options, color, design. I ended up buying a silver sparkly cable knit sweater and a turtleneck in a great green. The underlying structure of the design is still largely conservative but updated beautifully with vibrant colors and playful/interesting details. I’ll be back, thanks to my friend helping me rediscover Talbots.
