So I am probably a little late in the blogger universe to be discussing Jason Wu for Target, but I was busy this week! Not too busy however to wake D.W. up at 7am Sunday morning, and make him drive me to the nearest Target so I could get my hands on the coveted pieces.
It was an experience! I did not participate in the Missoni for Target launch, so I really wanted to see this one first hand, plus I was dying over the navy pleated dress with the red and blush stripes. When I arrived at 7:50am there were about 30 people in line, and about 5 more showed up after me before the doors were opened, the people who came later didn’t really end up with anything.
This Target was prepared! A nice gentleman came out to great us all and told us to be nice to one another J When walking in they had staffed appropriately and even had some security/police officers on stand-by incase we got rowdy. Then we all rushed the collection! I got my hands on a few tops and dresses in my size, but couldn’t find the navy dress! By the time I got to the rack the one size left was too big, but I took it into the dressing room anyway to check sizing. Some of it looked good, some bad (the shirt- dress made me look like a diner waitress) and some did not fit (like the navy dress.)
Then came the waiting game. As one of the first people into the dressing room, I had to wait for others to discard items that they picked up in the wrong size. I’m a very calm and non-confrontational person so instead of standing like a hawk by the fitting rooms like the other women, I took a stroll around the Target. All the Jason Wu accessories were gone; it was a completely empty display! I did a large lap and headed back towards the fitting room where D.W. greeted me with a latte and chocolate croissant.
Luckily, there was my dress! The early bird gets the worm J I decided against the shirts because spending over $25 on a polyester shirt from Target, whether or not Jason Wu had a hand in designing it is silly. However, a $40 dress that you can wear in any season, with POCKETS is a great deal. In the picture I have a white button down blouse underneath, my own red belt and nude flats I picked up at while I was at Target for $15. In the summer I would wear this with a red cardi, yellow belt and yellow flats. To dress it up, I would wear it with a navy cardigan and brown wedge heels. This dress is adorable, practical, and has a timeless silhouette and color palette.
