Alright guys, I surrendered and signed up with a personal shopper at Talbot Petites. I really went to the mall this morning to walk. No, really! Anyway, I wandered in to Talbot Petites and I really liked their Fall clothes. Signed up with one of the ladies I totally clicked with and she's going to call me for another round of shopping in November and one right before I go on a cruise in Feb. Today's theme was charcoal gray and pink/lilac.  I got that argyle sweater, I thought I'd never wear, and 2 pair of gray dress slacks. One is a wool and one is a wool blend. Also got a gray turtle neck, black velveteen jacket, a pink wool jacket and a belt scarf to tie things together. She gave me all kinds of suggestions of what other colors will work with what I bought today as well. Winter white, tans, jeans, black slacks, the black leather jacket I got in "Vegas babee", burgundy, red, cream, deep greens, light blues.....

I love my WLS and the new lease on life it has given me!

Haha!  Looks like that "walk" led you walking right out with a fabulous fall wardrobe & ideas for more outfit collaboration! Sounds like a great walk to me, Gina!

Apparently she's had to help more than one retired female military officer figure out how to dress for civilian work. lol She really is good. You and Ava steered me right!

The Talbots factory is near here and I can't wait to have lost enough weight to make a trip.  I love their classic look.

Once I get the hang of civilian shopping, I just might have to make a trip down there. You're near Asheville, right?

Yeah.  The factory is in Rutherford County, one over from Asheville, closer to me in Henderson Co.  Just let me know.  I have an extra bed.

Gina, what a great idea.  There is a Talbots where we are going shopping in 2 weeks and I might have to check it out.  I love that pink. 
What a productive walk at the mall!!

Got a question. The personal shopper is a service Talbots offers for free. I mean, she offered herself and said it was a free service. How much should I tip her or is that appropriate?
