see moore.

For those of you who know me, you'll know that the title of this post is a play on words. I grew up in a little town in southern Indiana, otherwise known as Seymour. If you're any sort of a movie watcher, you'll also know that the subject of the board below is Julianne Moore--and you're seeing more of Julianne Moore...get it?! {Ok, I'm lame. Forgive me.}

Anywho, I was more than surprised to see the face of Julianne Moore infiltrating the Talbots store when I attended a Junior League meeting last Sunday. {Yes, we had a meeting inside their store.} I was pleasantly surprised in my first-ever visit to a Talbots store...the quality and workmanship of their clothing was much better than I expected!

{My only previous experience with Talbots was that the mother of my best friend and senior year roommate {kj} worked there for a short stint, which is where her mother found the desk I used for that entire school year. I saw the same table/desk while at the meeting on Sunday. I may have gotten a little nostalgic for that year, just saying.}

Though I didn't walk away with any purchases, my interest was certainly peaked in their selection. 
I could feel a definite vibe in the J.Crew direction from their presentation of their merchandise, 
but their prices eclipsed those of my favorite retailer. The structure and quality of the eyelet lace reminded me of past seasons of Milly and Shoshanna, who happen to be 
two of my most loved designers.

I'll have to wait and see if Talbots is worth the investment, but my work wardrobe would absolutely welcome any of the pieces above. With Julianne Moore at the center of their advertising, I'm sure to keep my eye on Talbots in the coming months.

Have you ever purchased from Talbots? {I'm curious to see the spread here!}
