Talbots must be doing something right to be in business 60 years. I know this retailer has helped me dress the part for many occasions, wearing comfortable, stylish, yet classic clothing. I have been a Talbots shopper since the mid-1980’s. Working in a hectic Wall Street job, I needed to look professional and stylish, but ...
Some of the best treasures are found – not in department stores and retail outlets – but in consignment and resale shops. In Eugene, Oregon, this is a great way to recycle gently used clothing and receive a little cash back or use for trade on new apparel. You can also find great vintage clothes ...
