When I think of Talbot's I think of nice 60 year old ladies with short, frosted hair who wear green polos and white and green capri pants.

Okay, so where should an almost 50 yo, no longer slim-but not really heavy- woman shop?

Okay so I will give Talbots another try, but someone chime in here---a few years ago it was on the boring side?

Have you been to the new Talbots at Tysons? There are still some frumpy things but there is apt of great stuff now.

I'm sorry but I still think Talbots is very matronly and also in the Coldwater Creek category? Anyone agree?

XXSP sizes there too-great for the short, small set who need to find work clothes.
Good work clothes for non-lawyer tailoring.

OP, if you are thin, then JJill may work well for you because, frankly, you can look good in just about anything. For more average figures, you have to be more careful.

The depiction of JJill on this thread is not the JJill I know. For mature consumers, yes; frumpy, no! More of a less expensive Eileen Fisher look. Casual but elegant. And age appropriate.

I have some pants of theirs and they aren't frumpy. Look through their stuff - you can find nice pieces. Not everything is frumpy.

JJill isn't like this. Lots of waistlines, no loud prints AT ALL, lots of muted colors.

OK, I get it, I get it. But these were the pants I was talking about:

Frumpy or not, that can be your call. But these didn't have a loud print, they had a waistline, and they weren't loose fitting.

Talbots has just been updated and they have some nice things now.

What about Talbots? Is that also a store that tends to favor older shoppers? Thanks!
