Strap on your wig, time for some recon

So I don't know if your mother has said to you once, "Just give it a chance."  This, friends, is in regards to going to Talbots.  When in Charleston last week my friend and I walked by a store commenting it did not look that bad.  The block up, we did not go in.  Still a little curious, tonight I did some perusing online...  I found what I think would be a holiday party knock-out.  I love long party skirts.  Worn with a white or black button down or a black turtleneck and a chunky necklace and you are all classed up!  You can also wear flats because the skirt is to the ground which gives it more points.  And, one thing is that what you're buying is probably not too trendy, so if it looks great will be a staple for years to come.  Now I'm starting to sound like our mothers...

Anywho, this is what I'm talking about.

I also think these are great options.  I especially like the houndstooth. 

I'm still wary on how it will fit.  But in the next week or so I'm going to find my local Talbots.  Maybe I'll also pick up some smart looking slacks.
