Talbots

I went to this store for the first time today, and there are definitely awesome deals to be had!
The entire store was an additional 50% off the lowest ticketed price. The entire left side of the store, and the walls of the right side of the store have been marked down below retail. The store is very well organized, by type of clothing (button-​ups, blazers, jackets, dresses, etc.), and then by regular sizing vs petite, and then size, for ease of shopping. There are also rolling garment racks available, so you’re not trying to carry all your steals while continuing to shop.
Today, I purchased an orange cardigan for $ 25 (retails for $ 70), and a beautiful Navy colored, light spring/​fall coat for $ 65 (retails for $ 170).
I arrived around noon on a Saturday, and left around 1:30. When I arrived, there were only 5 – 6 shoppers including myself. As I was checking out, the store was more crowded, with about 15 – 20 shoppers.
I will definitely be back!

If you love talbots and you’re on a budget, then this is the store for you. True, you never know what you’re going to find, but it’s so fun to find amazing deals. I go to the talbots clearance outlet about once a month.

I just recently discovered this store. It has tons of clothes priced at steals in petites, women’s, and plus sizes. I have a lot of fun looking around. I have to admit that a lot of things there are old lady-​looking, but it’s not bad for some good olé basics for work!
Bonus: The staff is nice!
The Verdict: Petite skirts, button-​up shirts, and jackets, oh my! Still, Three Stars only, because honestly the clothes aren’t all that cute.

This location is the Talbots Outlet Clearance Center.
I have to say that I love Talbots for all my suits and professional separates and probably check their website weekly for sales as their regular prices are high. However, I can always check this Outlet location for a great deal as well. They carry all sizes (Misses, Peties, Women’s, and Women’s Petites)
The prices at the outlet are outstanding and range anywhere from 40% — 75% off the last sale price (NOT THE ORIGINAL PRICE)!! The last time I was there I got two very very nice petite slacks ($ 30 each, originally priced over $ 100 each), a sharp blue collared button up shirt ($ 25), and a very cute wool skirt ($ 9!!, originally priced at $ 79.99). I consider these great finds because Talbots quality is well worth over the $ 30 I paid for each item.
The down side to this location is that since it’s an outlet you never know what you’re going to get. All of the clothes are hanging up, and usually not wrinkly, but they can be disorganized and the price labels can be confusing. They also have a very limited selection of shoes and accessories. Lastly, the biggest disappointment for me is that you will be hard pressed to find a matching suit jacket and pants unless you got lucky and went in the same day it probably arrived.
If you are looking for separates — nice shirts, a suit jacket, or a pair of slacks… you’ll probably find it here and at a much better price than at the Talbots store or it’s competitors.
