I was a good little shopper and resisted looking at the look-book that previewed a while back.
All I can say is that this line was a HUGE disappointment for me.
If you don't already know, Jason Wu is a Taiwanese-American designer who got big acclaims for dressing Lady Obama.
And seeing as how Mrs. Obama is on the best dressed list, I expected a lot more eye-gasmic satisfaction from this line.
Pro: The line does have some girlie and simple tie-bow blouses/frilly skirts that are classics for a girl's closet, but for $40 dollars? for Target? I think I'll pass and opt for something with a little more flare. Leave the basics for Nordys people.
Like I said, basic tie-bow shirt.
It's a very simple and wearable shirt, but I wouldn't pay $23 for it because this is probably going to be $10 dollars at Forever21 next week.
I did find one piece from the line that I did take a liking to and in true Amanda-fashion, it was the most expensive piece in the line ($60). The Flared Dress in Black with Nude Patent Belt stole my heart with its scalloped detailing. Of course everyone else wanted this dress too and it's sold out. Story of my life.
Con: So it begins, me hating on a few pieces that can only be described as Jason WuGLY for Target
PS: please don't get me wrong., I love Jason Wu (and his designs) and have seen him RIGHT so many times. I just wasn't a fan of the Target line because I felt like the line relied too heavily on the brand name vs. the feminine/sophisticated pieces he is known for.
Textured Pleated-Front Peplum Top in Gold: At first glance, I did like the shape of this blouse, but the detailing is atrocious. Its texture looks like a jaundiced potato sack and corduroy had a baby and this was the result.
Dot-Print Shirt Dress in Cream: Oh good lord, where do I begin? Anyone want a hamburger because this reminds me of a bad 60's diner uniform (pre-colored TV of course). If you are a nurse, 60's style diner waitress or hotel maid, don't bother buying this because you have it in your closet already.
Short-Sleeve Tee with Cat Print in Cream: "Wait, am I at the Baby Phat website?"
Sleeveless Chiffon Dress in Navy Floral with Gold Belt: Home on the Prairie? I seriously owned this dress when I was 5, it was gross then and it's still gross. There is entirely too much going on with the pleating on the top and the print. I know this season is going to have a floral trend but I really hope it's nothing like this...
I had a really similar dress that was "willed" to me as a sorority joke...
