Animal Print Crew Neck Sweater
It’s a jungle out there! The stores are filled with wild animal prints like leopard, cheetah and tiger. An animal print sweater is the easiest way to jump head first into Fall.
This one, a cashmere crewneck with a brushed leopard pattern is soft and cozy. It look great with blue jeans, and a little more dressy with black jeans.
The striped waistband and cuffs give it sporty vibe. What an easy way to pattern mix stripes in a more low-key way.
Animal print – cheap or chic, what do you think?

Burgundy Cable Knit Sweater
This fabulous Raglan sleeve sweater with the military style buttons is rich and classy. Zoom in on the knit and you will see a modern looking pattern that kind of looks like a spider web!
These ankle jeans are the slim, straight leg style, which is a cross between a skinny and a straight leg jean. They’ve become my favorite style of jeans since skinnies got put on the backburner.
I find Talbots makes really comfy, well- fitting jeans, but I do have to size down one with all their pants since they are slightly generous and always a bit stretchy. These are
My two tone black slingback kitten heels add a chic touch!

Moto Puffer Jacket
I love the look of a cropped moto jacket but I already have one in leather. This quilted puffer one is adorable. It’s a mix of two vibes: edgy + cozy, and I think it makes for the perfect, modern fall jacket!

Leopard Print v-neck Sweater
Under my moto jacket you will find this alluring v-neck leopard print sweater. It’s cashmere, but it’s light, thin and great for layering. This is a wardrobe must with these slim straight ankle jeans.

Houndstooth Mockneck Top
Houndstooth is a big theme this fall but it has been reimagined in new and original ways. This mockneck houndstooth top, for example.
It’s an unusual mix of a traditional plaid with a contemporary silhouette. I’m wearing it with the sleek, black bootcut jeans. This look is classic with a modern twist! Just my style.

Denim Jumpsuit
I’ve always thought I would like a denim jumpsuit if I could fine the right one. Unfortunately, I don’t think this is it, for me at least.
It looked great on the hanger, but with my rounded hourglass shape, this straight up and down utilitarian style does nothing for my waist even though I’m wearing a belt.
I also prefer jumpsuits that are more feminine and flowy. This would be great for gals who are more straight up and down and have no waist or a thick waist. Thoughts?

Burgundy Leather Pants
Oh Mama! These Faux leather straight leg pants are pretty cool. I love this trendy burgundy shade which makes the faux leather feel very rich and a nice change from black leather pants.
These pants are high-waisted, soft, buttery and a great find considering most faux leather pants are more like tight leggings.
Do you like the burgundy, or do you think black leather pants would look better with this camel sweater?
Look closely and you will see this sweater has the tiniest bit of sparkle to it. It would be a for the holidays which are coming up quicker than you can believe!
There’s lots more on sale at Talbots. Check out all the great deals!
P.S. Which ones did I buy? Both the jeans, the Leopard V-neck sweater, the Puffer moto jacket, the Burgundy ragland sleeve sweater, and few more you don’t see here. Stay tuned, and I will share the others this week!
I love that puffer moto jacket you have on from Talbots too! My size is available. The question I have is ……are you warm coloring or cool? Since I’m a cool-toned person, I am trying to figure out if I could wear that lighter color since I already have a neat-fitting, puffy black one. Any help would be appreciated. I have highlighted blonde/brown hair, blue eyes & and cool coloring.
Hi Bonnie, I’m a spring, so a little more on the warm side, (although I can sometimes pull off cool). This is a light camel, not a cool taupe which would be more boned- colored (cool). Take a look at this post which is more taupe and compare:https://www.fabulousafter40.com/are-thin-down-jackets-warm/. Have you worn camel before?
Love Talbots – you made me re-think the puffer jacket . I just might go for it .
Hi Colette, I think you will love it. It’s very light and not fat and puffy. So chic and clever! Thanks for stopping by! Cheers, Deb
Love animal print!!! My favorite from Talbots is the v-neck cashmere leopard sweater.
I’m with you, the denim jumpsuit does nothing for you.
The faux leather pants, burgundy all the way. Wear them with the burgundy raglan cable knit sweater.
Hi Carolyn, I’m wearing that cashmere leopard sweater as we speak. I’m just popping out to dinner, and I’m wearing it with a brown blazer, black stretchy straight-leg pants, and slingback flats. It feels so elegant and cozy!!
