Hey everyone! Like I said on Monday, I’m taking a bit of a shopping break before the best items come out this fall. In the meantime, I’m scouting some cute items that will work well for our shape. Just because I’m not shopping doesn’t mean that all of you are not shopping!
So, today I’m focusing on Talbots. Now, I recently re-discovered Talbots because I always thought they catered to an older market than my 52 youthful age. However, I have found some really fresh designs at the store (not everything, but some things) so it’s definitely worth stopping in, especially since they have a great plus-size section and many items with a softer silhouette that usually looks good on an apple-shaped beauty.
Just a little bit ago I wrote two posts (here and here) showcasing two really cute tops (here and here) that I purchased from Talbots. I’m certain I’ll have some more finds in the future but in the meantime, here are some items that will look good on us!
This looks like a really cute top. I have more than enough striped items but this one is navy and cream instead of the usual black and white. It has a cute hem and a flattering neckline and 3/4 length sleeves — all good attributes for a shirt that works for our shape.
I’m not usually a wrap-top shirt kinda gal because the v-neck is usually pulled open by my wide bust and the wrap/belt usually ends up under my bust which just emphasizes my girls. This top doesn’t have the belt, just skillful stitching and it’s more of a tunic length so it covers tummy and backside. Plus right now it’s only $21!
This vest looks really cute for fall and winter if the fabric will hang nicely over a big bust. Sometimes this kind of collar will hang nicely around my collar bones but pull apart over my bust and hang weird. It will really depend on how it fits in the shoulders and how the fabric will fall in the front. The alternative view below makes me think it might hang just fine.
Now, onto dresses.
There must be a “piping” trend this fall! This dress is available in plus-size or straight size and looks to be quite flattering. It’s made of ponte fabric which is really good for skimming and not clinging. And it’s only $29 right now!
And remember how it’s perfectly acceptable and on-trend to wear sneakers with dresses? This would be a fun, casual dress to pair with sneakers and bop around in. The color is so pretty and the cowl neck usually looks good with a large bust. Plus, it says it’s soft terry fabric so I always give extra consideration to an item that is soft!
Ok, so I could go on and on finding us other items, I’m just running out of time today! Good luck shopping and let me know if any of you try one of these items and how it goes. See you Friday!
