Deal of the Day: Talbots After-Christmas Sale

Talbots is having an after-Christmas sale right now, with up to 50% off regular prices. The line tends to be on the high side, but there are bargains to be had, as well as pieces that could qualify as investments for your wardrobe- Talbots' fabrics are high-quality and their styles are timeless.

At $119.99, this dress is still a bit pricey, but it could be a show stopper on the right woman and would make a nice investment piece. I love the brocade print. It looks like something Jackie O might've worn.

This is a lovely take on the ruffled cardigan and the ivory color would take you right into spring. It also comes in brown and olive green and is on sale for $43.99.

I have always kept at least one pair of red pants in my closet, whether they're skinny cords or soft suede. Red pants always look good, particularly if you wear a lot of black, like I do. These denim pants are on sale at Talbots right now for $33.99.

Here's another dress that's still a bit high at $109.99, but it is so cute and the cut works on a wide range of body types. I have a similar one in this fabric from Talbot's and it is wonderful. This dress comes in several colors from purple to black, and if you can wear petites (I actually like petite sizes better on me), they have almost every size in stock.
