hiking in stilettos: Target

Sunday, December 6

right on time, rodarte

just in time for all of those holiday parties,

target is releasing a collection of edgy items by rodarte.

the collection is full of statement pieces that will pair perfectly

with more conservative skirts for an office party

or with lace tights for new year's eve with friends

or even with jeans and heels for christmas with the family.

we're talking lace and tulle dresses and skirts,

leopard-print sequin frocks, netted legwear,

silk camis, and bow belts.

although the styling of these images isn't exactly my cup of tea

{ie, doc marten style boots, leopard and lace together, straight dark hair with a middle part}

i can definitely see the potential in all of the items in the rodarte collection.

what is your opinion?

will you be perusing your local target for holiday apparel?

For those of you who have not yet heard, Tracy Feith is launching a GO International line for Target starting May 17th. The designs are vintage-inspired, beachy pieces that definitely have potential to be fun summer wear. Although the designs are styled a bit too young for my taste, I think a bit of tweaking and styling could make them more fashion forward and less teenager hip. Either way, I have my eye on a couple of the items, especially this leaf skirt (on the right.)

I would pair it with a white v-neck tee, tucked in, gold chains, and some gladiator sandals. For an evening out or just to dress up, I would change into some chunky, heeled sandals. An easy, fun summer outfit.

I also think that both the blue dress and the leather motorcycle jacket have potential. I love the exposed zipper down the bodice of the dress and the vibrant color. For these or other images of the Tracy Feith collection, click here.

I honestly hope that the garments do end up being less tween and more fashion; it's often hard to tell with the Target lines. So, what do you all think? Are you looking forward to the Tracy Feith line or do you think the designs will look to young in actuality?
