Did anyone order from Talbot's sale?

[xokell2]

I'm still hemming and hawing.... I love the patent pumps but have absolutely no where to wear them, why to they have to be such a good deal?

I also like a couple of non-practical shoes from the online outlet.

Did you order anything? If so, what did you think? I've never been in the store before and kind thought the clothes were for older women. (ha ha since I'm turning 30 tomorrow, I guess that might be me now)

Is the sale still going?

Dammit, I've been trying to stay away.

I did, so far I've only received part of my order. I received a handbag, and one top and 2 cardigans. I'm waiting on a pencil skirt and blazer, really hoping that they fit!!! I still have a few things in my shopping cart, including some pumps that I didn't buy but am still thinking about.
The handbag seems nice (it was marked down from $200 to $45). The top I ordered was cute, but a little too big and the color was very different from on my computer screen.

I ordered a bunch of stuff and have received all but one pair of shoes. I got the patent heels in both the black and the pink salt. I am debating keeping them - I think I will, because they're such a great deal but I don't know if I'd wear them enough and I just got a ton of other black heels this summer. But so comfy! I also got these:

in black and cheetah. I got the black yesterday and like them. They're very comfortable for $20! I wasn't crazy about the shirts and other stuff I got, so those are all going back.

Thanks HZ!!

Love those flats Megs, I'd they had my size id get them in a heartbeat. That's why I keep contemplating the heels, classics that will never go out of style and a great price

I have a couple skirts and a pair of shoes from there. Some of their stuff is older but some of it is really cute and I love the quality of it.

I got the black flats and I am wearing them today. They hurt! They hurt SO bad but they are SO cute! There is absolutely no give and they are rubbing my heel and pulling on the skin on my toes. BUT THEY ARE SO CUTE!

I saw these gel inserts at Target (by the shoe dept) that were made especially for this, it stuck to the back of your shoe on the heel area. Bet those would be perfect until you broke them in!

ETA: Oh and I ordered a pair of pumps but still haven't gotten them in.

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

Oh and to answer the original question. I got a super cute emerald green sheath dress, the black patent pumps, the curvy ankle jeans (love!) a white dolman sweater and some red ankle pants that are super saggy. The red pants are going back. I am keeping the flats even though they are uncomfortable in hopes that if I wear them enough, they will break in.

Oh no! I thought they felt comfortable enough when I tried them on last night. Bummer! That's the problem I run into with patent, that there's no give. I hope they loosen up a little bit, at least now I've been forewarned and will bring a 2nd pair of shoes the first time I wear them!

i didn't order shoes, but i got a pencil skirt and 2 tops. the tops are going back, but the skirt is cute. the heels that everyone is posting about are really nice and classic, though. they really are a great deal

[xokell2]

well if you havent bought yet but are contemplating, do it! i went to the store today and things aren't marked down nearly as much as online. some things i wanted to try on were 3x as expensive! yikes makes the $8.00 shipping not so bad
