Remember the Red Chair Confessions I’ve been blogging about? Trying to figure out the big secret? Why the women are so riddled with guilt (and well dressed)? Well, I was on the right track with the therapist notes and rustling bags because the big secret was just revealed, and it’s a total revamp of Talbots!

Yes – Talbots. That Talbots. The store formerly frequented by school teachers and soccer moms is changing their image. Not that there is anything wrong with school teachers and soccer moms – but lets face it, they aren’t really known for their style.

I think that Talbots is off to a good start – I’ve been eyeing the purses in every video and that says a lot coming from a strictly Coach girl! I took a peak at their new styles, and I’d say they are going more sleek and classic than hip and happening. Staples that add to your wardrobe instead of trendy pieces you’ll only wear for one season and then regret.

I still think they are a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. I’m loving this sweater jacket and I know it’s something that I’ll wear over and over again. In red berry, palamino, and pine cone, please.
