I would shop online. To be honest I have no idea where there's a Talbot's near me

@Andreatoo  I totally would not order pants online from Talbot's without trying on a pair in a store first.  It took me many years to find pants there that fit right.  There are so many different fits and styles and variation of fits.  And none of them ever fit me correctly (most have a big "gap" in the back at the waistline) until I found the curvy line and the weekend chinos.  But that's just my body.  There are just too many selections and fits and even two pair in the same size may not fit the same (that just happened to me with a weekend chino pair; one fit much better and was more comfortable than the other).

I was even in a store before Xmas where a young woman was going to buy her mother pants at T's and I talked her out of buying them (her mom lived out of town) because it's so hard to fit someone in their pants.

This is the top I mentioned earlier. It's not at all what I usually wear, but I'd like to look at it.

ON the cover of the June catalog.

@gidgetgh  Sorry but I don't care for that top at all.  Even though a young model is wearing it, it looks to me rather "old lady-ish."  I'm in my 60s and it looks to me like it's for an older woman!  I don't want an item that will age me (even more).  Sorry, since you seem to like it.

@gidgetgh  Just now having received and tried on the iceberg curvy slim ankle jeans in petite, I want to thank you again for mentioning this color option.  I absolutely love them, and this lighter color denim is great for summer.   These curvy petite slim ankle pants are just perfect and so slimming - the most flattering jeans I've ever worn!

@Pearlee- I'm so glad!  I think the color is terrific. I know it sounds weird, I mean they're just a light colored denim, what could be so special?  But I just love the color. And they're so comfortable. I rotate between them and the vintage straight legs.

Just got the email too.  When the 40% off one item is good for several days, you can use it once a day for each day of the sale if you shop online.  I guess that would work in the stores too.  I shop there so much I get free shipping so I usually shop online.  Have fun ladies.  

Also, have you ladies tried the skimmers?  If you don't like shorts these are perfect, for me at 5'1" they come right below the kneecap - I bought them in 2 colors and now may go back for one more!

Has anyone done this -  used it more than once online for this deal this weekend?   Because in the past, what njgirl wrote has not been true for me online. The promo says "one time use" and I've only been allowed to use it once online over the several days of an offer.   I haven't yet used it yet online.  (I know I could go store-hopping and use it more than once in person at stores locally).

Yes Pearley, I have used my 40% off three days in a row. I get free shipping so no worry there.

[Pearlee]

@Steffdoggy10  Oh thanks for your response!  I also get free shipping.  Then due to your reply, I'm going to order something tonight.  I'm going to a T's locally tomorrow so I want to be able to order again if I see something I want but they don't have my size in stock at the store.  Thanks!

Whoohoo!  Ebates is giving 15% (instead of the usual 2%) for Talbots this weekend!

[NickNack]

I went to Talbots yesterday and bought The Weekend Chino in Rocky Beach for 40% off.  I also got a top for 30% off.  I intended to go to our other Talbots today and get another pair of The Weekend Chino in Chambray.  I was gone for five hours today though and needed to get home to let my dog out.  I never made it to Talbots.  I would actually order them since ebates has 15% off at Talbots this weekend, but they aren't available online.  I'll wait until they have a sale again and hope that the store still has them.
