Here is the 3rd of the items I bought on clearance from Talbots. At 70% off of the sale price it is $15! I love the lace detail on the sleeve. The sweater is very light and will go well into the spring. Here I have it shown with a pair of Talbots yoga leggings. They have a seam detail in the front which makes them look dressier. I sized up to a small on the sweater for a baggy fit. The cardigan on top I have shown before and I plan to change out the velvet tie with other more spring-like colors in the future. The purse and scarf keep the outfit from being to plain. I always check the sale sections for scarves!

The last of the items purchased on Clearance from Talbots is a pair of white boyfriend jeans. Talbots isn’t a place I usually purchase pants from because unless there is a return from the catalogue, they don’t carry my size in the store. But, I found these boyfriend style jeans and since I want them to feel quite slouchy I opted for their size 2. The material feels nice and it has a good amount of stretch. The waist is high, but not too high. They are tight enough to stay up, but loose enough that I can pull the off without unbuttoning them. Are they too big? Yeah, probably, but they are so comfortable. The pockets are sewn on the inside with nude fabric – so they don’t show through. The quality expected from Talbots is there. Clearance out, I paid $9. For $9, I’m willing to do a little work. They are a little too pristine for my style. I am going to cut off the hems and lightly distress them. I will show the details and the “change” in an up coming post.

I hope this little series of clearance items inspires you to look at items in a different ways so that you can have a fun, functional wardrobe – at a great price! Accessories make the outfit, so whether you choose a light blouse or a chambray shirt, you can look ready for the spring!

The next piece in this winter clearance to spring style is a yellow eyelet tank top. It’s a tank top so it is very easy to see it as a spring piece. Yellow is having a bit of a moment so I thought this would be a fun piece to use. It is great on a dreary day to fake some “sunshine!”

Talbots Eyelet Tank

I love it with white, but if you are like me, much of my like isn’t white-friendly. It is so sweet with this Elizabeth & James Lace skirt though.

I would add a statement necklace or scarf. There is a vintage clutch to the left and sandals for whatever height you feel like for the day.

One of my favorite fragrances is this YSL Babydoll perfume. It is a perfect grapefruit scent that always evokes springtime, it bright and fresh!

Enjoy

This week I am going to share 4 clearance pieces from Talbots. They are about 80% off their original retail price. First you will see a pink and orange turtleneck. Because of the pink it is very easy to transition into the spring.

First I paired it with a pair of pink jeans I already had in my closet. The jeans were from Talbots a few ago and they match nicely. I think a white or blue pair look equally nice. This top has a very nice structure, and a zipper at the back. I sized up to a small because I liked the extra space because it felt more casual to me.

As you can see from the second photo, it looks nice with white shorts, wedges and a matching bag. The details contribute to the feeling of spring, whether it is the sandals or the wicker bag, these outfits call for spring and are easy on the budget!! Another think you will see a lot of are scarves. I think they are so great for bringing any outfit together and provide warmth on a cooler day or when the air-conditioning is too cool!

Enjoy!
