Since my first experience with Talbots was pretty positive, I've been keeping an eye on their their collections. I especially like that Talbots carries a variety of sizes both in their apparel and footwear (wide & narrow widths + varying boot shafts).
When I popped into my local Talbots, I was attracted to the jewel toned blazers, colorful clutches, & classy flats.
The Kate Fit Shetland Jacket emphasizes curves and features two flap pockets. The jacket is of nice quality & fully lined. The Shetland jacket--I'm wearing the Green shade--would be an interesting textural counterpoint to a ruffly blouse or even a t-shirt; however, I think the price, at $159, is too high. This jacket comes in four colorways, but personally, I'd prefer a color selection that's a bit richer. I also tried the Shetland jacket on in a petite size, and I found the sleeves to be a bit too short for me. My verdict: Nice if you like those (more) pastel shades, but I'd say wait for a good sale.
The Kate Flannel Tuxedo Jacket is a bold color, and I like the notched detailing in the collar; the collar also features a contrasting black lining, which I really enjoy. This is fully lined and fits TTS. The Pigment Blue version is featured, but I also enjoy the Green Sapphire & Black shades.
