They're too old for Gap and Abercrombie, but they aren't ready for the Sears and JCPenney crowd.

Agreed.
The Gap is planning to open some test stores with fashion that appeals to the 40-60 (my demographic now, LOL), crowd.
I like Talbots for certain items, but Chico's and Eileen Fisher, for instance, don't appeal to me. I'm an Ellen Tracy, Dana Buchman kind of gal.
