Talbots Spring 2012 collection continues to stylishly offer women contemporary clothing-well made-in pretty colors, classic cuts with feminine lines---and well made accessories to complete an outfit....any outfit-for all occasions.
 |
| 3 seasons dress-wonderful gray tone-lined.... |
As with much of what we saw on the runways-tones and prints are bolder this year-including floral, paisley, blocks of colors, nautical stripes-and ethnic patterns.
 |
| ikat pattern scarf |
 |
| op-art in a womanly silhouette-mix of the 60's and 50's |
 |
| great pencil skirt- |
 |
| Trench over flared navy pants- |
Proof that mixed patterns can work---the above spring coat and ikat print dress-in similar colors-pulls it together.
 |
| deep corals and pink-replace last year's soft pastels |
 |
| classic billowing palazzo pants-longer slim blazer in always chic white linen |
 |
| flared trousers/tapered crop-lots of options |
 |
| subtle animal prints- in more subtle b/w |
Dresses are Talbots specialty we feel-great cuts -always-classic contemporary that work on many body shapes. No wonder well dressed women-like Michelle Obama ---are always seen in the label. Our complaint-the women's dresses are cut too wide for regular height gals ---they need to add size 0 and 00!
 |
| Box pleats are popular-more flattering than tiny pleats |
 |
| Casual weekend looks |
White or denim jeans/shorts are going to get dressed up with these tops----
 |
| easy wear tunics-in linen |
 |
| Breezy tops work as a beach cover-up too |
Talbot's footwear and accessories are full of color and style options...
 |
| The leather flower embellishment -on a ballet flat and rafia wedge -nice |
 |
| flats in an open weave |
 |
| pencil shape heel is a welcome relief from all the clunky heels/platforms! |
 |
| quality-nice contrast stitch and solid hardware buckle |
 |
| ikat pattern-love |
 |
| lace flat |
 |
| leather trimmed straw bucket bag |
 |
| mixed textures-the patent leather pointy toes gives this polish |
 |
| sling back with floral detail, open weave slip-on, patent sling back pump=trio |
 |
| always popular-flats that travel well |
 |
| flats-thong-straps=pretty |
 |
| our pick for the 'it' color-an intense lilac |
