It's a 'For Target' designer redux!
To celebrate the FIFTH anniversary of Target's collaborations with designers galore, the retail giant is re-releasing 34 dresses from the various diffusion lines since the GO! International's inception.
I have lusted over the GO! International lines waaaay before I was able to shop it - I had major lust for the Rogan For Target pieces and was obssessed with the Alice Temperley For Target collection. However, during the release of these collections, I was not in possession of a Portland address and was reduced to stew in my 'see not touch' dilemma.
The year of the Rogan For Target release was the year of my US bi-coastal trip and let me tell you that I made my sister's drop by at any Target that was within our mapped out course - but to no avail :(
The year before that was the Alice Temperley For Target line and I was soooooo in love with the romance and femininity the pieces evoked. I was particularly enamoured with this light grey long sleeve cable knit jacket with a ribbon tie and was willing to get it off of eBay for a rather jacked-up amount if I had known what size I would have fit.
The year before I got the AMEX, Target collaborated with Thakoon and I was smitten with the pieces. One of my first posts on this blog was about the Thakoon collection and I would have LOVED to get my hands on one of the dresses but as I had no one to ship to, I had to just let the collection pass by. By the time I had someone who was willing to bring some online shopping back to Homeland for me, the Thakoon collaboration had sold out - that's how I ended up with the Petrova gladiator shoes and the Hayden Harnett Flight tote.
But now, with the power of AMEX, comGateway and Portland addy, I have been given a second chance to fulfill my dreams! I wish that the pieces I so wanted were available though but they aren't. I looked over the collection and there are a few that have caught my eye. None more so than this beautiful shirtdress from the Alice Temperly collaboration.
The Alice Temperley for Target Voile Ruffle-Front Dress in Black. The RRP is $34.99. This is my number one pick from the upcoming release. I just love the overall feel of it and I am DEFINITELY going to get this piece. I'll most likely get this full price cos I don't think there'll be any left if I think to wait till it goes up for clearance.
Aside from that, the other pieces are cute but not something I'm dying to have. The Rogan stuff is nothing to shout about - I really wished they released the belted safari shirtdress which I was crazy about. The leopard print shift dress below is cute but for $39.99 - I don't think it's worth the price. If it goes on clearance for cheap then I'll definitely get it.
The other piece I am seriously considering is this Thakoon for Target Printed Tie-Waist Dress in Black/White which is also going for $39.99. This is a similar print to the dress I wanted from the original release but I believe that the one I originally had my eye on was a blue/white version. Nonetheless, this black/white one is truly eye-catching as well.
That's really only the two that I would consider purchasing at full price. The other pieces I saw that looked interesting I've put in a collage below. I like these pieces but not enough to pay full price on 'em. I seem to like the Rodarte pieces best as I have 3 or 4 in my lineup. I also have a soft spot for the Libertine collections. I've mentioned my love affair with anything stripes and I am loving that blue/green t-shirt dress but for 20 plus bucks, am still not willing to get it.
As I mentioned above, the collection features 34 pieces from 17 designer collaborations and are priced from $24.99 to $44.99. The limited-edition collective will be available beginning March 13 at Target stores and online at target.com.
