Talbots Fail

I was checking out the new arrivals, and I found this.

And what immediately came to mind was this-

Anyone else?

I've never seen that movie or tv show, so no.

I've seen the sweater in person. I didn't buy it but it's very pretty. The colors are gorgeous. Not a "fail" to me.

I don't know the movie, either, so there's no downside to the sweater for me. Talbots has some fantastic new clothes right now. I spent a little over $300 there this weekend. Got some great items at 25% off. 👧

I have been eyeing this sweater. Haven't had a chance to get to the store to try it on. My NuFace has kept me from looking like him so far so so hope I won't be mistaken for him if I buy it😜

It's not THAT bad. I'm fairly short and large busted, so it's not for me, but it looks fine on the model.

@lolakimono - YES!!! That is too funny, because yesterday I was looking at it online and immediately thought, "that's Freddy Krueger's outfit!"

Just showed my husband the Talbot's picture and asked him what it reminded him of, and without missing a beat said, "Freddy Krueger."

I do have to say, the rest of their Fall pieces are quite cute! I've found quite a bit I like.

I like the sweater but have no use for it. Way to hot even in January to wear here.

Cute sweater. I don't know who the ugly man is in the picture but I don't get the connection. I love the sweater. Talbots is always good looking and so reasonably priced that I've been buying there for decades. For an expensive everyday clothes, it can't be beat.

I showed it to BF. First he said "rugby" and then he said "Where's Waldo?" but he doesn't know F.K. so I was not surprised.

I ordered two cat items- should be here this week!

I didn't see the movie, but I don't care for the colors. If you do, please enjoy.

@libbyannE I don't think T's retail prices are reasonable for what you are getting, but their sales are fantastic and by red hanger sales, they're practically giving the clothes away!

I spent $300 today and that's with my 50% employee discount and using two,dividends. WOrking at Talbots allows me to,self fund my clothing obsession.

@KathyPet- what did you get? I've bought several things in the last week.

I have a sudden urge to go try this sweater on, LOL.

@lolakimono,We have a cat scarf and a white slip over shirt where the neck ties with a ribbon in the back creating a key hole. The background is white, there kitties are in black outlines, and there are blues, reds, and I believe yellow colored forms through out the print. I thought it was well done.

OMG! When I saw your post, I thought a Freddie Kruger sweater... even before I scrolled down to see his face.

I would never wear that sweater. My kids would laugh at me. They are all Freddie fans, especially my youngest son. It would make a great Halloween costume.

@lolakimono

LOL.....have never seen the movie (because i am not a huge fan of the horror genre), but that is funny!

dont care for the sweater at all......i dont do horizontal stripes.

We'll never know, but maybe Talbot's ghost tops designer had recently watched Nightmare on Elm Street and was still feeling Freddie when the striped sweater was conceived.

KathyPet — Mon, 28 Aug 2017 12:42:12 GMT

My haul was the double faced ruffled jacket in the Azalea color, the red scalloped edge ponte jacket, the glen plaid Hampshire pants, the blue and white Oh La La turtleneck, the embroided Paris sweater, the red and ivory bow and stripe sweater and the two flower pins in the red and navy and black and white. THere is still more on my wish list. I must have the fringed tweed jacket in the pink and black but that will have to wait next month as I have now spent my entire Talbots paychecks for the rest of this month.

Lol, it does remind me of Freddy's sweater

I like the sweater and I've seen the movie franchise! LOL besides I recently bought fabric with a Walking Dead theme! Clearly I don't care if somebody makes the connection
