CARDIGAN / WASHABLE STRETCH SILK BLOUSE / KUT FROM THE KLOTH JEANS / KNIT BOOTIES

Many of you will be hosting and cooking today. In case you get a break from cooking or need a diversion during your tryptophan slump, I’ve rounded up some great pieces from my readers’ favorite retailer, Talbots. Their black Friday sale is on with 50% off the highest regular-price item and 40% off the rest of your order. Here are a few looks I tried on last week and some other Talbots outfits that readers loved.

  1. Happy Thanksgiving, Jennifer, to you and all of your wonderful readers! I agree with another person who said what a wonderful community you have created here. Thank you a million for all of your hard work, honest and genuine advice and support! You have exquisite taste and are very trustworthy which I appreciate so much! You look beautiful in all of the Talbots outfits and I love how you look in the Kut from the Kloth pants! Talbots is my absolute kryptonite!! I have worn their clothes since high school and I am 59. It is my first time posting a comment here.

    Congratulations on your new grand baby and on your new Canadian apartment! I know you are loving being closer to your daughter part-time!!!
    A grateful reader, Rita

    1. Welcome, Rita!! I’m so glad you’re part of our community!

  2. Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for all the style advice!
    Talbots has been my go to store for decades….but I think I have to break up with them. I’ve walked out empty handed the last few times!
    Sweaters/tops (with the exception of the thin cashmere I have enough of) are made of synthetic fabrics, which are neither warm, nor soft. For those of us who have cold winters, synthetics don’t keep us warm. Sad. Thanks again!

    What size did you order in taffeta skirt? Iā€™ve ordered once with my normal size and the waist was too small? Did you order 1 or 2 sizes larger or did you have this issue?I sent back and would love to reorder but not sure about size.

    1. I am wearing an 8 regular and could have easily gone up one size. I think the waist it very small in these.

  4. Happy Thanksgiving Jennifer and thanks for your wonderful and helpful posts!

    1. Happy Thanksgiving Vera!

    Wishing you a very happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend. I love Talbot’s. Especially for sweaters and tops. They have so many lovely ones this season and you look wonderful in everything you shared with us. Which sweater was your favorite? Mine is the Zig-zag pullover sweater. I love all the shades of lavender/purple.

    1. I love all the purple colors. I think the fair isle cardigan is my favorite because they’re usually pullovers. Happy Thanksgiving

    Lots of cute vests there, but I am looking for one that doesn’t come up and hit you in the face! Does that actually exist anywhere? Happy Thanksgiving to you and your precious family!!

    1. Happy Thanksgiving. Many do seem to do that. I like the Talbots because the faux fur helps the collar lay flat.

    1. Happy Thanskgiving!

  8. Wishing you Blessings and Love, year round. Thank you for your work, your ideas and your sincere helpful advice. Very helpful this this very old, but young at heart granny goose!

  9. I loved most everything that you wore! I especially loved the Fair isle sweaters and the corduroy pants. Talbots no longer fit me since my middle thickened. Iā€™m top heavy, wide in the waist and slim hips and thighs. Chicos jeans fit me and I have several trouser style jeans which are extremely comfortable. I also love JCP Liz Claiborne jeans and tops. I have some Nordstrom Rack tops as well. Iā€™m over 50 miles from any of these stores so I have to buy online. I have had to replace my wardrobe this year and your links and Pamā€™s links have really helped me. I have purchased many items I have seen you wear. Have a lovely Thanksgiving!

    1. I’m so grateful I’ve been helpful. My middle thickens first on me too and is so frustrating. Happy Thanksgiving

  10. Happy Thanksgiving Jennifer!
    Beautiful array of outfits you’re showing in this post. You look great in all of them!

    1. Happy Thanksgiving Nancy

  11. Beautiful sweaters. Happy Thanksgiving šŸ¦ƒ

    1. Happy Thanksgiving!

  12. I have tried quite a few retailers with petite fashions over the years , but most of my closet is filled with Talbots. I live in rural Ontario and our closest Talbot stores are in Toronto and I never go there anymore. I do miss a physical store but their online ordering is a dream and they treat their card holders exceptionally well. Thank you for your visits to the store, I appreciate the views.
    kind regards and Happy Thanksgiving!
    Dorie from Canada!
