Spring is in full bloom—and so is one of the best sales of the season! The Talbots Friends & Family Sale is happening now, and everything is 30% off (yes, even new arrivals!). It’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe with timeless pieces that fit, flatter, and feel fantastic—especially for those of us navigating spring style over 50.

Whether you’re looking for elevated basics, statement prints, or classic tailoring, Talbots has it all—and I’ve rounded up some of my favorite finds to make shopping easy (and fun!).

💐 My Favorite Finds (And Why I Love Them)

Let’s start with the linen botanical shirt—a feminine, easy-to-wear piece that looks just as chic with straight-leg jeans as it does tucked into the matching linen shorts. It’s soft, flattering, and adds just the right touch of detail.

You’ve probably seen me style these white denim jeans on repeat—and for good reason! The fit is fabulous, and they’re thick enough to provide great coverage. I love pairing them with this classic chambray top and topping it off with a Riviera tweed jacket—a true spring staple.

✨ Don’t Miss These Wardrobe Essentials

I always say it’s the little luxuries that elevate your everyday look. This raffia buckle belt instantly pulls an outfit together, and the espadrille flats? Comfy and polished—just how I like it.

Need a dress for upcoming spring events? The coral and white fit and flare dress is not only flattering but bra-friendly (you know how rare that is!). And if you’re looking for sleeves, don’t miss the floral shirtdress with long sleeves—a go-to favorite of mine this time of year.

🎁 Bonus: These Make Great Gifts Too

Don’t forget—this is also the perfect opportunity to pick up Mother’s Day gifts or “just because” surprises for a friend. Think woven totes, linen blend travel wraps, or pretty pajama sets (hint: they’re always a hit!). And yes, you count too—go ahead and treat yourself to a pretty scarf.

🧥 Hero Piece: The Perfect White Blazer

Let’s talk about the power of a great blazer. This white linen blend blazer from Talbots is crisp, breathable, and endlessly chic. It’s one of those investment pieces that looks good with everything. I’ve styled it two ways to show its range—from casual weekends to an elevated night out. And I recently shared a YouTube video about the mighty white blazer.

✨ Look One: Polished & Casual

For this look, I paired the blazer with a classic striped bateau tee and white straight-leg denim for a clean, monochromatic base. Add a woven leather belt to define your waist, and slip into taupe loafers for a blend of comfort and sophistication. Finish with a canvas tote for effortless errand-running or lunch with friends.

🌙 Look Two: Sophisticated & Evening Ready

Ready to turn heads? Drape the blazer over a modern poplin fit and flare with just the right amount of structure and movement. Swap your flats for kitten heel sandals and add a statement earring to elevate the whole ensemble. This look is perfect for spring dinners, concerts, or upcoming graduation celebrations.

💐 More Spring Favorites On Sale

While the blazer takes center stage, there are so many other standout pieces in the Friends & Family event that I couldn’t resist rounding them up for you:

• Birds Eye Jacquard Shirt – Pretty, feminine, and perfect under cardigans or worn solo.
  
• Chino Trousers – Lightweight and flattering with a touch of stretch.
  
• Floral Print Scarf – A budget-friendly way to add color and polish.
  
• Shirtdress with Sleeves – Ideal for events, brunch, or even a casual workday.
  
• Lightweight Trench Coat – A layering essential for unpredictable spring days.

💡 Style Tips for Women Over 50

At this stage in life, style is all about ease, polish, and confidence. A few tips I always follow:

• Opt for structure: A well-cut jacket (like this blazer) can do wonders.
  
• Mix high and low: A luxe blazer over a simple tee keeps things fresh.
  
• Don’t shy away from white: It’s clean, classic, and surprisingly forgiving if you choose the right fabric and fit.
  
• Accessorize smart: A colorful scarf or bold earrings instantly updates basics.
