The Talbots sale.

I grew up with Talbots as a household name. I just never dreamed it would be a second generation household name.

I mean, seriously. The Talbots of old did not exactly scream cutting edge style.

But lately they have kicked things up a notch. Shaken up their core shopper demographics. So I do like to troll the site and wait for the sale.

The inevitable sale. It feels like they tend to put stuff on sale a lot and rather speedily after debuting it too. So here are a few key pieces that I think are worth snagging during the current Talbots sale—-

These sparkly tops are well made and the perfect deep, rich colors for peeking out under winter blazers and cardigans.
