Today's Target Report 3.4.09


So I zoooooomed to Target this morning (just kidding, Highway Patrol!) in hopes of seeing the new Alexander McQueen IRL... it wasn't there (pooh!) so I quickly scanned GO, Mossimo and Merona, and found a couple of interesting items.  I also found that they had marked the Waverly look-alike jacket down to $8.74 (I paid $17.48 on Saturday) and there were still tons left!  Here's what I tried:


Merona Collection Tie Neck Dress, Cherry Glow/Navy $39.99  The fabric of this dress feels great - substantial and smooth - a little stiff (like a rain slicker, but in a good way - does that make sense?) but not uncomfortable at all.  Seemed like it would resist wrinkles.  Crazy, mod print!  The tie at the side of the neck is a great touch.  I would probably go for this in a tamer print or a solid so the classic cut and neckline were more noticeable.

And here's what I bought:


Mossimo Black Boucle Jacket - Teal Boucle Combo   $20.98 (regular price $29.99)  I had tried this on in the rust color several weeks ago after seeing it featured in a magazine and it just didn't do anything for me.  After seeing FFM in it on her wonderful blog Fabulous Florida Mommy, though, I decided to give this color a whirl.  And I loved it!  The cut and fit of this jacket are great, and the fabric seems like it belongs on a much more expensive jacket.




Thakoon for Target Shibori Print Tee $3.74 (regular price $14.99)  Just a soft cotton tee in a fun print.  There is a small pocket on the left side of the chest.  For the price of a Starbucks latte, this one's a great deal!

    I think you look great in the dress! I've seen it a couple of times, and actually have the scarf they sell there in the same color/print. I really like it in the green and navy, too.

    So glad you got the Boucle jacket! Isn't it better IRL than on the website? Target REALLY needs to redo their website and upgrade the photos...they leave a LOT to be desired!

    Congrats on your purchases...you look FABULOUS! :)

    FFM - Thank you!!

    I agree - the Target photos are not very good... you really have to go see the pieces IRL or on a blog!

    I will have to check out the scarves - thanks :)

    I actually have pics of the scarf on my blog if you want to see it. :) Merona Silk Scarf . There were two other posts with pics of it, but you can just type navy in the search box if you're interested in seeing them.

    Very cute items! I didn't get anything from the Thakoon collection, but I liked the prints. If you didn't know, FFM changed the buttons on the blazer you share & it looks great. If you have it in you, swap them out. It makes it look even better than it already does. Great description of the print dress w/the tie/bow. I 'get' it. ;-)
