Backpacks - check. Flannel tartan pajamas - check. Outdoor gear - the mecca. Boat totes - accept nothing but the original. Fun summer wear? Keep on looking...
Not so fast. Apparently someone in Freeport took a stand and declared,
"We must free ourselves from the frump!"
While breezing through their latest clothing for women catalog, I was pleasantly surprised by the perfectly preppy gear they are touting - rightfully so. All a little Boden-esque, minus the crazy graphics. I think you will be equally pleased:
Note: All images courtesy of L.L. Bean
Skyway Canvas Button-front Skirt in Sunburst
Haven Skimmers - also in an adorable pink and green print
Lattice Print Handbag - cute, cute with the skimmers and skirt above.
Petal Poplin Shirt, Polka Dot - love the surprise of pink stripe on the cuffs!
Madras Skort - usually skorts are my krytonite, but it's a commendable effort L.L. Bean
Coastal Macintosh Coat in Glen Green lined in pink and green lobster/crab print
Seersucker belt - perfect with jeans
Seersucker Jacket - slim fit, with three-quarter sleeves
If you are in any way impressed with the above, I highly recommend hightailing it over to their website - where plenty more await.
Enjoy this beautiful weekend!
Yours in renewed faith of a classic (with exemplary customer service),
Mrs. News Readin'

Surprise! Surprise! Very cute...off to shop ;) Love reading your blog. Very. Funny. Will have to catch the local news next time I'm Atlanta visiting the parents to figure out which one is Mr. News Reading... If I can get my mother away from FOXnews... Too much national news is sometimes too much!
I TOTALLY thought the same thing when I was flipping through the catalog a few days ago. I was like, huh? Wow! Some very cute stuff indeed...
I am LOVING LLBean. The Boat Tote is my absolute favorite ... and I did order that rain jacket for these April showers, and who knew it would come with compliments. Have you seen the swimsuits!? I am impressed!!! Xoxo-BLC
Wow those are some great finds! I never would think to look to LL Bean for clothes, but you've changed my mind :)
Great stuff...I'm on my way to check it out!
I also received this catalog and mistook its pages for a JCrew catalog! Cute togs, for sure.
wow! So many cute things...LLBean is awesome!
I ordered the madras skirt and should be receiving it any day now.
PS: If you are on Twitter, LLBean PR (LLBeanPR) is also--be sure to post a tweet and let them know you like their stuff!
I usually toss my catalog right away but I've kept the most recent around. The stuff really is cute.
I LOVE the new line... unfortunately, so much of it is out of stock now... LL Bean PLEASE make more of this for fall!
