Jason Wu for Target



Every few months, Target enlists a high end designer to create a line that will be exclusively sold at their stores and in the price bracket for their target market. In the past, designers such as Rodarte, Zac Posen, and most recently (and some may say most infamously) Missoni. The latest designer to join this group is Jason Wu. You may not know his name, but you definitely have seen his work. He is the man responsible for designing First Lady Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Ball gown in 2008.


Fast forward four years and Jason Wu is one of the top designers in the industry and his designs can be seen on many of Hollywood’s hottest entertainers. Now, his designs are available for those fashionistas that don’t have the ability to buy his higher end products; which could cost almost four times as much (or more) than what will be offered in a limited edition standalone collection at Target.

The Jason Wu for Target collection may have a lower price tag but it has the same style aesthetic as his higher priced label. His fun, flirty and ladylike style is still apparent in the Target collection.  The collection is full of floral and striped knee-length skirts and lightweight fabric shirts that would make great additions to your spring wardrobe. There are also clutches, handbags and accessories available to complete your look. The prices for the collection range from $20-$60, so in addition to being appealing, they’re affordable. Appealing AND affordable? I’m sold!

The Jason Wu for Target collection hits stores and Target.com for a limited time starting February 5, 2012. If the reaction to his line is anything like the Missoni chaos (out of stock merchandise within a couple hours, cancelled online orders, etc.) a few months ago, I would suggest getting there early to check it out!  Below are just five of the looks that will be available.


 

                    Textured Pleated-Front Peplum Top $33 Pleated Skirt $30 Lace Clutch $30



                                                       Trench Coat $55  Flared Dress $60



         Long-Sleeved Sheer Blouse $35 Pleated Canvas Skirt $30 Front-Flap Straw Bag $40



                        Sleeveless Top With Sheer Panel $27 Pleated Skirt $30 Lace Clutch $30


                                                                Cuffed Shorts $27
                                         Short-Sleeved Tee $30
                                    Straw and Canvas Clutch $30





Love,

Put Some Spring In Your Step

Even though it won’t officially be spring for another month, the warm weather we are experiencing is making everyone shed their winter wardrobe and step out in spring & summer friendly looks. I’m a little reluctant because I like to wait until the official first day of spring to bring out my sandals and shorts. However, I am already looking at various stores, websites, and catalogs for the latest spring and summer shoe styles. The new styles are tempting me to throw my boots and closed-toe shoes to the back of the closet and bring out my sandals! I would seriously go broke if I bought every pair of new shoes that I have loved recently. Fortunately, I am able to display some restraint and just love them from afar. Here are a few of the styles that I was tempted by and the websites/brands whose new spring/summer styles are worth checking out if you are updating your shoe collection!  This zig-zag heel is EVERYTHING! Makes what would otherwise be a basic black sandal, into a sho...

My Resurrection

On March 19, 2017, I took a huge step in my spiritual journey. I walked into a baptism pool, lowered myself into the holy water, and allowed my mind, spirit, heart and body to be cleansed. I rose up from the water with a new outlook. I was ready to embark on the next steps of my journey as a baptized woman. A year later, I am reflecting upon the 365 plus days since my baptism and I am amazed by the growth I've experienced. Was the journey easy? Absolutely not. Was it easier to face the battles and adversity after renewing my relationship with God? Absolutely. I have constantly been reminded that God never said weapons wouldn't form. He said they wouldn't prosper (Isaiah 54:17) . I hit some bumps in the road (spiritually, financially, mentally, and physically). I went through a short season of confusion and lack of motivation. I was angry with God. I yelled at Him! (Ever seen me yelling and upset? Then you know this wasn't cute!) Literally, ye...

Holiday Fashion: Menswear

I usually don't pay much attention to men's fashion. Honestly, I thought it was dull. *shrugs*  However, recently someone asked me to help them with some menswear looks. I was hesitant at first, but then decided to do some research. It actually ended up taking up half of my day! I was excited by it! I was confused about where to start so I asked a male friend of mine (Thanks Josh!) for some suggestions and that ended up being a huge help. With his suggestions and some additional research on my own, I was able to put together about 10 or so looks. I looked at tons of retail websites, fashion magazine websites, and Googled images of celebrities. After several hours of research and putting looks together, I was pretty impressed with my work. *pats self on back* The looks are simple but fun and there are options for just about every kind of man!  I decided to do a post about it, just in case any males read this blog or if any of you ladies have men in your life that need a litt...
