Talbots January 4, 2010

In the mail today arrived a new Talbot's catalog. Talbot's - my "go to" place for classic clothing that fits and flatters. Talbot's clothes work for me because each season a dress pant is offered in a long length. And, always a matching jacket, sometimes a coordinating skirt. High quality clothing. Always in style. And, I can often score big on clearance items in my size. So, the new catalog, the winter-to-spring transition line has tweed jackets in pistachio, aquamarine, berry. Yummy colors with yummy names. Coordinating striped sweaters. Scarves of lavender, pistachio and purple paisley. Sweater sets in rainbow hues. All luscious looking. My reaction? A quick once over, then to the trash can! Talbot's, you aren't tempting me this year. That easy to sway, credit card at the ready shopper is so old, so ancient, so 2009. So move over, and quit mailing me, texting me, emailing me with temptations. In 2010, I am a new non-shopper gal!
