New Looks from Talbot’s [with Red Pants]

It’s time for some new looks from Talbot’s with red pants. I bet a lot of you might be afraid to commit to red. I know I have been, but after seeing all the things you can do with them, you might feel differently. I do. I ran by the mall Friday and popped in to Talbot’s to see what was new. The colors are beautiful, and the styles are classic. Talbot’s does classic so well. You can shop and know that you’ll still be able to wear the things you purchase from year to year.

FIT TIP: Before I start, let me say that this pair of pants are a size 6…my normal size, but they seem to run a little big. I needed to either do a 6P or a 4 regular. I think the 6P would be best, because I had to turn the hem on these up about 3 inches.

This is the second retailer I’ve seen and tried on a ruffle neck sweater like this. It’s super cute and comes in a variety of colors. The cream sweater and red pants are striking on their own, but think of all the ways you could layer these. Here are just a couple of ideas to get you started.

• Denim jacket
• Black blazer (USE FROST20 for 20% off)
• Camel coat/blazer
• Tweed jacket (keep reading😉)
• Cream or black vest

This jacket is beautiful. It works great over the ruffle neck sweater. I LOVE the color combination of red and purple. (If your mom is a member of the Red Hat Society, this would make the perfect gift for her.) You can dress this jacket up with any number of things from velvet or satin pants, to a pair of work pants or a skirt. That’s a lot of bang for your buck.

Switched out the cream for another good staple. A gray and cream ribbed turtleneck. I love this style turtleneck because it can stand on it’s own or makes a great layering piece.

There’s nothing quite like a classic plaid shirt. This one is a cotton than not a flannel, so more of a polished look.

I love a good vest. This one is a little longer and it’s has an elastic gather in the back for a little shape. This one would work really well with leggings too since it’s a longer length. You’ll see this vest layers over a lot of looks.

The red pants (which I failed to mention are cords) look good paired with this black fair isle sweater. I find Talbot’s sweater to be longer in length, so you can wear them down, tucked, or if you prefer them shorter, maybe try a petite. This one is nice and soft.

And with the vest. Are you seeing how versatile these pieces are? You could really do a capsule wardrobe with these if you wanted. I also tried most of the pieces on with black pants, but I’ll share those later or possibly in stories today to keep this post from getting to long.

SHOP NEW LOOKS FROM TALBOT’S

What do you think? Are you ready to try some red pants? Which of these new looks from Talbot’s was your favorite? The color red is trending in fashion and not just for the holidays, so maybe think about adding some to your wardrobe. I added a new handbag and I love carrying it.

The 4th of July is just around the corner and that means lots of cookouts and backyard BBQ’s. There are so many fun outdoor games for July 4th, and you can order them on Amazon to get them in time. These would be fun to have set up in stations around your yard, or some of them could easily be carried to a park if you’re gathering there.

I’ve seen several of these in use at the beach as well. Big kids/young adults and even older adults sometimes enjoy having something to do when spending an entire day on the beach.

GIANT WOODEN YARD DICE – You can play two games with these giant dice. Yardzee or Yardkle. HAHAHA!

YARD DARTS – Not only are these yard darts, they glow in the dark. Now personally, by the time it gets dark during the summer we’re already in our jammies, but if you like to walk on the wild side, these are for you. LOL

YARD CONNECT FOUR – Did you have Connect Four as a kid? I did, and I loved it. I think this would be fun, and even the littles could play.

BADMINTON – This looks like such an easy way to play Badminton. This game has been around forever. This net doesn’t require spikes, and I think that would keep it from sagging.

LADDER TOSS – We bought one of these years ago for Katie’s graduation party. I had played it somewhere and it was a lot of fun. We will be pulling this out the next time we have a gathering.

HORSESHOES – I haven’t played horseshoes in years, but I used to love it. Most kids these days have probably never heard of it. Let’s bring it back.

BOCCE BALL – The only time I’ve played this was at an Italian restaurant, but it was a lot of fun.

GIANT JENGA – Not gonna’ lie, this one scares me a little. We went to a party with a reallly giant one, and I was terrified it would fall on someone. I think this one is a slightly smaller scale, so probably a lot safer.

CORN HOLE – This is a crowd pleaser, and I see a lot of people who take them (in a wagon) out on the beach to play. Little kids love playing with the bean bags for this one.

Check out this post with red, white and blue looks to go with your new outdoor games for July 4th.

Or this post has more red, white and blue all American summer style that would be fantastic for the 4th.
