A mature woman's wardrobe

I always thought that Talbot's was a store at which more mature women shopped. Then I realized that I now fit into that category.

A couple months ago, Stacy London (of What Not To Wear fame) paid a visit to the morning show on Cosmo Radio, and she shared some interesting insight. A woman who was about my age called for fashion advice, and Stacy said that finding age-appropriate clothing is difficult when you're in your late 20s. The stores that you used to shop at are no longer appropriate, but you might not be ready to start browsing in the stores that you will shop at in your 30s.

I count Talbot's in this category and never even used to go in, but I found a coupon code online last week and decided to check out what they offer--and I realized that they're a great place to buy staples. Stacy said that as you approach your 30s, you need to make sure that the core of your wardrobe consists of staples with a few trendy pieces mixed in. Talbot's is one of those stores that offers good staples.

Yesterday my online search produced a navy Talbot's dress that would be pefect for dressy fall and winter occasions. I used my detective skills to track down the only remaining dress in my size in the state and then dragged B off in the rain to go buy it. It's during those emergency shopping situations (the store was due to close in an hour) that you really appreciate your Garmin.
