Time For a Shopping Spree

I have been in such a funk lately and decided it’s time to snap out of it! Friday I went and got a new hair cut and I couldn’t believe how much better it made me feel! Now, I’m thinking I need to continue this trend for a new look which seems to be helping me get out of my funk and so, I think the next logical step would be shopping spree for some new clothes. I can’t even remember the last time I bought a new outfit, with the exception of the dress I bought to wear to my nephew’s wedding. But, I need casual clothes. Items I can wear to softball practices (I don’t participate, just watch), and go to dinner in, but that are comfortable enough to wear when I am at home or grocery shopping.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to receive a $500 gift card to Talbots? Seriously, the only items of clothing I’ve purchase for myself recently are made out of t-shirt fabric and I just think if I felt good about what I was wearing, it would help my whole mental state of mind. So, I went to the Talbots website and really liked what I saw. They have items that are exactly what I’m thinking about and make putting together an entire outfit so simple. I could really update my wardrobe in a very nice way with a $500 gift card!

Here are a few items I chose. I really like the jeans because they are an updated version of a classic, must have item and I think they would look fabulous with the boots. What do you think?

By the way, if you haven’t done this yet, you should really go check out these red chair confessions videos on the Talbots blog, they are quite good!

The Big Reveal!

Over the last several weeks I’ve been writing posts and including the Red Chair Confessions videos showing the mystery addiction and finally, the day is here, it’s THE BIG REVEAL! It’s time to find out what the addiction really is and who is behind these addicting videos! I feel like I’ve become hooked on these, I almost hate to see the story end, but I am certainly happy to find out the truth behind it all! Take a look at the video and tell me what you think.

I’ve been thinking all along that the addiction had to be shopping related, I just couldn’t for the life of me figure out who was behind the videos and what these women were shopping for. I think the biggest clue was in the therapist video when the therapist was making notes of her clients jewelry and accessories. I also noticed all of the women were nicely dressed in all of the videos. What did you think, did you have an idea of who was behind it?

Turns out, the viral campaign was originated by Talbots clothing stores! Now, I’ve been in Talbots, but it has many years ago. I always found them to be nice, but a bit stuffy and expensive. Seems that they are changing the image and updating their store as well as making their clothing and accessories more affordable.

I thought this was a fun and clever ad campaign and I hope you’ll take the time to check out their new website and let me know what your favorite item is!
