Scenes from a Friday night…

We started at @littleblackbirddc a new wine bar in Cleveland Park where we had great food, drink, and conversation into the evening. We then headed down the street to @atomicbilliards for a whole different experience and to keep the conversation going. I treasure my friendships with @sylviacolella (who had a birthday recently), @districtofchic, and @blonde_inthedistrict they’re the real deal 🥰

My dress is @adamlippes borrowed via @renttherunway and Cheetos with Sauvignon Blanc is a really fun pairing!

Night and day…

Met three dear friends for an early dinner that went on until after the sun set. Great food and conversation with some great women!

The dress is @adamlippes and I borrowed it from @renttherunway. The bag is @jcrew and a splurge but I regretted not buying it the last time they offered this bag and this color is SO me. I mean, look how great it is with these many years old suede heeled sandals? Meant to be!

This color combination makes me so happy, and this dress was comfy even after a decadent meal. We all deserve to experience comfort and joy with our wardrobes! 💛🩷

If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

Talbots – My Recent Purchases

This article may contain affiliate links; if you click on a shopping link and make a purchase I may receive a commission. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

A few years ago, some of my friends from my retail days made the switch from their current companies to work for Talbots. Talbots was known as being good to their store management, understood there needed to be a balance between work and life, and had shops outside of malls (those who have worked retail know a boutique shop is great to have normal hours and be easier to manage in regard to payroll, staffing, merchandising, etc.). They came back raving not just about their work environment, but the stylish and quality fashion that Talbots carried.

So I came to visit them at their home away from home, and check out this great Talbots fashion. I left feeling underwhelmed. I still felt several decades too young for the fashion, and even if I was of the right age, I surely wasn't of the right personal style. I like modern, I like clean, I like a bit of edge to my classic style. I couldn't find this between the embroidered pink twill capris and pointelle-knit sweater tees.

Years later, right after I had Emerson I had a devil of a time finding retailers who had stylish work clothing that would fit a plus sized petite woman. You readers suggested I visit Talbots. There was a Talbots right near my job so I decided to visit, not expecting much.

Wow, Talbots had changed over the years. I walked it skeptical, and left with bags full of new fashion. Their pants were the only ones I could find ANYWHERE that fit and even flattered my postpartum body. They had gorgeous wrap dresses that made me feel svelte and even sexy. Far less frou-frou and more classic, simple pieces that I could make more “Allie” with bold accessories and shoes.

Of course, just as I was getting my Talbots stride, they closed their location near me. To actually visit a Talbots, it would be substantial car drive to a megamall (and malls give me hives). Talbots fell off my radar until last Fall when it seemed every blogger was raving about Talbots' great new style. Recently I even wrote about how impressed I was with the new Talbots collection, but I never got around to experiencing it first-hand. Last week Sally at Already Pretty let me know that Talbots denim was on sale. I saw it as a sign to try some pieces from Talbots and placed an order that same day. My review of what I purchased:

11031003 5124
High-ridge Twill Topcoat

I have a trench from LOFT that I adore and have tailored to fit me perfectly.  It's a gorgeous raspberry sorbet color and it makes every rainy day seem brighter.  However, I do not own a non-rainy day spring coat.  I saw this topcoat from Talbots and though it may be the perfect choice.  I love the stand collar, the oversized buttons, and the Nectarine shade looked to be an unexpected neutral like my raspberry raincoat.  I ordered a 12 Petite.

The color is more lovely in person than on the Web – it is the color of a ripe peach or apricot, but not pastel or delicate.  The buttons are polished wood and very unique.  The fabric has a great weight, the piece is fully lined and looks far more expensive than the current sale price of $113.99.

That being said, it is being returned.  The 12 Petite is too large for me – it hung over my shoulders, it was a bit boxy in the torso, the sleeves were about an inch too long, and the coat itself would need an inch or two taken off the bottom to make it flattering.  A 10 Petite would be too tight in the bust and upper arms.  If I were a taller person with more proportional arms and bust, I may have kept this jacket because it is quite gorgeous.  It could be worn like the model with a simple tee and jeans, would be a great dress coat with a simple frock, or even make a modern suit jacket.

talbots garden print full skirt
Garden Print Full Skirt

Well based upon my outfit on Friday, I like this skirt!  I am not usually one to wear such a “girly” silhouette, but after wearing a fuller longer skirt the other week and liking the look, I thought I would try this skirt from Talbots.  I chose the Garden Print Full Skirt because the color looked as though it could be a neutral – I could pair it with white, black, brown, navy, denim, and cheery colors like pink and red.  I ordered it in a 12 Petite.

Winner!  This skirt runs a tad large, but fits like a petite – the waist hung at the right place, the hips at the right place, the length of the skirt pretty much in line with the model on the Website.  The pleats are perfectly placed, not adding bulk to my curves, just offering a ladylike silhouette.

The color is true to the picture on the site – though it is called “Green Multi” the color is more like flax, or even more like brass on a white background.  As expected, this color looks great with basics like white and black, but also shines with chambray and denim, and colors like leaf green and candy pink.

The skirt has a hint of spandex which helps with fit and also preventing wrinkles.  For such a lightweight cotton skirt, I was highly impressed that I wasn't a wrinkled mess by the end of the work day.  I could have easily gone straight to a happy hour or dinner date in the skirt and not felt frumpy. 

talbots tear drop ladder necklace
Tear Drop Ladder Necklace

Gosh I wanted to love this necklace.  I was thinking of wearing it with the Garden Print full skirt, a simple scoop tee and sandals.  I imagined it with a ribbed tank and beat up jeans and flat sandals, or with a shift dress in orange or pink.

I have to say, this is a quality piece of costume jewelry.  Great weight, great construction, beautiful color.  But it's not a winner for me.  The chain looked a bit like Mr. T, the beading got caught between my breasts and lost its impact.  It looked okay… just okay.  Far better piece for someone with small breasts, slim figure, where the piece will really be a statement and won't get lost in the curves.

talbots Signature Fit Stretch denim trouser jeans
Signature Fit Stretch Denim Trouser Jeans

I came to Talbots because of the denim, and I wanted dark saturated denim, and a classic yet flattering style.  I thought the trouser jean would be a good choice that could be worn for play, but also for work.  Based upon the inseams, I chose 12 Regular.

These don't fit me.  The rise was too high, I definitely needed a petite.  However the petite inseam would be too short for even flats.  The pockets bulged, the denim was too soft and let everything hang out.  Just not my style at all.  However this weekend my mom came by and tried them on and they were quite flattering on her.  I think a petite would be a perfect fit on her, quite elegant.  I hope she gets a pair, I think she will find them to be a much-loved piece in her wardrobe.

talbots Signature Fit Midnight Rinse straight leg jeans
Signature Fit Midnight Rinse Straight-leg Jeans

For these, I ordered 12 Petite.  I figured in the summer I would be more likely to pair jeans with flat sandals, and wanted some dark straight denim to pair with them and breezy tops.  Again, I was looking for dark saturated indigo and these looked to fit the bill.

I liked the denim better on these jeans – a bit heavier, a tad less stretch.  The jeans looked very classic and crisp in the plastic.  On me, another story.  I could hardly get them over my hips, they fit like jeggings on my curvy legs, and I couldn't button them they were so tight.  Far too low of a rise and I can't believe it but too petite of a cut.

talbots Signature Fit Midnight Rinse five pocket bootcut jeans
Signature Fit Midnight Rinse Five-pocket Bootcut Jeans

I ordered these in 12 Regular.  Another fail.  They were a big sloppy mess and looked like Mom Jeans in two sizes too large.  They were pooling at my feet even in heels, gaping at the waist, drooping at the crotch, and the denim was so soft and spongy it didn't keep any shape at all. 

Do know many people like soft denim – it's comfortable, it gives and moves with you.  This is why Pajama Jeans are so popular.  However I don't like soft denim.  I will wear it for Not Your Daughter's Jeans because those jeans suck in my mama pooch and don't “look” like soft denim.  But otherwise, I don't find it figure flattering and would prefer a heavier weight, more rigid denim.  So if you like your soft comfy denim, Talbots may be for you.  Just go to the store and try on in person to ensure you get the right cut and right size.

So all in all, not a successful shopping experience with Talbots.  But I am not deterred, I know that Talbots makes classic, quality fashion and I do adore my new skirt.  I just think that until I know how Talbots fits my body, I will need to take the trek to a brick and mortar store, spend an hour or two in their fitting room and figure out what works.  And I do believe Talbots is a brand worthy of such an endeavor.



Have you purchased from Talbots lately?  What do you like a dislike?  How do you find it fits you?

    I discovered Talbots about a year or two ago. For some of their things, I love the quality. Others, not so much. It all depends. I got two cotton T-shirts last year and they are nice but no spandex in them and I like me some stretch. I got a pair of cotton twill shorts that I love, and a pair of navy pants that are just beautiful. Ditto for a black ponte knit sheath dress. Fortunately for me, their 10 fits me perfectly, so I at least know what size I take. I don’t buy things that aren’t crazy on sale; their prices are still a bit steep. But I get their emails notifying me of 75% off online outlet sales and I clean up. I may not get everything I want, or I might not get it in the color I want (e.g., could only get the nice pants in navy and not black) but when I’m paying $9.99 (yes really), I’m not going to be picky. I’ve been trying to limit my spending on clothing, but I told my husband that when I get those emails (and they only come about twice a year), all bets are off!

    I love your honest reviews. I ordered a dress in ponte knit that they only sell online a few weeks back and absolutely love it — the construction is flawless and the look is classic. However, I went in person last week and tried on some tops and they felt like they’d fit my mother better. That’s not meant as an insult; I think it’s great there is fashion for everyone. But I have to be careful with their clothing because if I choose wrongly I end up looking a bit wrong, a bit too old for my real age.

    I find Talbots to be really hit and miss. A lot of their stuff looks great on the hanger and online, but just doesn’t work for me. I did buy some tank tops and some tshirts with some funky decorations on them that looked great on my figure. But the majority of the stuff that I have tried on doesn’t work for me. I still go in there from time to time because their stuff is so pretty.

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

My dress is from @cosstores (no longer available); hat is @furtalk and bag is @talbotsofficial (no longer available).

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.
