Giving Confidence, Hope and Style
Happy Monday ladies. I hit the mall over the weekend for a bit of spring shopping and had a chance to donate to a great cause. I’m all about supporting other women and thrilled to be sharing a wonderful program which gives back to help women.Ā

I’m excited to partner with Talbots to bring awareness to their annual O,Ā The Oprah Magazine Collection benefitting Dress for Success.
This is the fourth year that O, The Oprah Magazine has teamed up with Talbots to create a co-branded capsule collection.Ā When you shop this capsule collection between February 19 and March 31, Talbots will donate 30% net proceeds to Dress For SuccessĀ®, the international non-profitĀ that provides women with the tools they need to achieve financialĀ independence.

You can also donate to the cause by giving a monetary donation in the store or online here. Talbots will match donationsĀ up to $250,000. Through this program,Ā Talbots has raised over $4 million and collected over 15,000 boxes of business attire donated to DFS, benefitting over 100,000 women. Now that’s impressive and a program I’m proud to support.
O, The Oprah Magazine Collection for Talbots
This year, the five-pieceĀ exclusive collection is in Talbots ultra comfortable, be good to yourself,Ā T by Talbots line which is inspired by the belief that active women should feel beautiful on the go. Can I get a big yes for that? It’s designed in the always stylish black and white combo which is easy to mix and match and dress up or down.
I’m wearing the cozy zip-front knit jacket with contrasting stripes on the cuffs, collar, and pockets. I’ve layered it over Talbots perfect shirt in crisp black and white gingham and theĀ Never Fade black denim jeans.Ā I’m thrilled to discover this classic black denim is completely fade resistant because they’ll always look crisp and polished, wash after wash. I finished my look with these super comfy driving moccasins and a lightweight crossbody bag. Let me rave about these shoes a bit. They’re available in seven colors in narrow, medium and wide widths. There are three different blues which are all calling my name.Ā

Your contribution, no matter the amount, will helpĀ empower the lives of women across the country with essential tools that’ll help them thrive for years to come. Dress for SuccessĀ® helps give women in need a fresh start at work and beyond.
This is a great way to spruce up your spring wardrobe. Shop, donate and help other women in the process. I love that!
Thanks for reading and have a great day.
Thanks to Talbots for sponsoring on this post.





I’m a sucker for gingham and plaids! Doing either of them in black and white, and coordinating the rest of the outfit in same colors, always gives a little bit of a ‘dressed’ vibe. Probably because b&w are sophisticated, giving a classic feel to an outfit.
I totally agree Diana!
I love that bag!
That outfit is so cute on you! I love the checked shirt and the crossbody bag especially.
Thanks Laurel
Do you know if Talbot’s is accepting clothing donation in store? I have a bunch to donate anf my local Dress for Success chapter has very limited times for accepting clothing donations. I checked Talbot’d website but didn’t see the answer there. Sure would be easier to take stuff to the store rather than DfS offices. Thanks Jennifer
What a great cause. I need to give Talbots a look. I haven’t been in in ages! Their clothes look great on you!
I love the idea of a pair of no fade jeans ! I’ll try them out .
Thanks for great site , Valentine
Great cause and brand…and you look wonderful.
