There is a poplin popover I have been trying to resist..........and the cashmere tunics! The cashmere is a steal! I need nothing and have no closet space left. And I am just itching to place an order........😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

The prices are great, but I cannot wear Talbots tops. The sleeves are always way too tight and if I go upsize, they are too big everywhere else. This has been a problem for the past couple of years.

Their pants fit me perfectly.

Yes! I ordered 2 lightweight sweaters that I had my eye on, but refused to pay their regular prices. I was going to start a post when I saw yours. Thanks!

@4kitties This is the best price you'll see on Talbots cashmere tops (which are luscious). I live near a Talbots clearance store, which frequently runs whole-store sales where nothing costs more than $24.99, $14.99, etc. The clearance store's cashmere prices are good, but cashmere's always excluded from these "maximum price" sales. If you see a cashmere item you like, snap it up! Or maybe do some early Christmas shopping.

@4kitties. So you are just "ITCHING" to place an order for "CASHMERE"? 😄

@4kitties - thanks for posting. I had told myself I wasn't going to order any more new clothes since we have been at home all the time and who knows what the summer and fall will be like with this virus, but I couldn't resist two of them and just placed an order.

@4kitties - it's weird. Through all this, I have just about lost any desire to buy new clothes. I bought some new Birkenstock's and these two shirts and two from J Jill, but my heart just isn't in it. I think that by staying home the last however many weeks, it really showed me the excess and seriously, do I really NEED so many clothes and purses? Why? Even without the virus, we stay pretty close to home because of my husbands health. I just don't see the need to have a lot of clothes when we are at home 90% of the time.

I remember being this way after 9/11 though. No desire for shopping for collectibles and other things. The sadness and shock of 9/11 kind of sucked the desire out of me for "things" for a time. Same thing is happening to me now.

@gidgetgh

I think I understand. Two months ago I would have had my order in on this sale the minute I got the email! I would not have hesitated for one second. But I ordered 5 tops from Lands End just a couple of months ago and I doubt I will even be able to wear all of them. I think some of it is the uncertainty I feel with this dern virus and how it may rear its ugly head again this fall or winter. Mr. 4kitties and I are over 60 and even though we are in pretty good health, we are in the higher risk group.
