{Fashion} LOTC: Jason Wu for Target apparel and accessories

January 19, 2012
I’ve fallen in love with Jason Wu slowly – from the dress he created for Michelle Obama for the inaugural ball to the wallpaper newspaper in his apartment to his close connections to his (Taiwanese, go Asian men!) family.  I am also loving him a bit more because his collection for Target is getting closer by the day (I’ll be setting a calendar reminder on February 5th!)

These Luxing it on the Cheap (LOTC) designer collaborations can certainly be hit or miss. But I like that Jason Wu has stated that he didn’t just want to make designs from his runways in more affordable fabrics.  He created new pieces for this collection  – “an American girl in Paris” – and while they retain his touch for delicate details, they are also more casual and whimsical.  I love the brightness of the striped pieces and the fun prints (the cat tote is both cute and chic!)  These looks definitely translate from a more casual work outfit to the weekend.  I’m just crossing my fingers that Target’s website is prepared for the traffic!

I’ve included my favorite picks from the collection below:

Textured Pleated from Gold Peplum top – $32.99, Pleated skirt in black – $29.99, floral lace clutch in black – $29.99
Straw and Canvas clutch in cream – $29.99
Short sleeved tee in navy/red stripes – $19.99, cuffed shorts in admiral blue – $26.99
Flared dress in white with black patent belt – $59.99
Cat tote in cream – $39.99
Poplin dress in navy – $39.99
Trench coat in black – $54.99, Flared dress in black with nude patent belt – $59.99
Long-sleeved sheer blouse in white with black ribbon – $34.99, Pleated canvas skirt in Belize blue – $29.99
little luxury list

    I am in love with this collection, and sincerely hope there isn’t another “Missoni incident” where the website is clogged for hours on end. This collection is so great, I may even attempt to go in person! Love!

    These are super cute. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this collection at first, but everything I’ve seen looks fresh and cute. LOVE the cat tote!

    Ok…seriously not trying to be Debbie Downer but I am not in love with this line. Am I a jerk? I do love the blue skirt…that is adorable.

  • Bravoe Runway January 20, 2012 at 03:21

    At first the collection wasn’t overly exciting to me but the more I see it, the more I like it. Something about always finding new details is striking!

  • Kimberlee January 20, 2012 at 17:21

    God I’m so obsessed with this collection – it’s ridiculous!

  • Lady G January 23, 2012 at 11:24

    I fell head over heels in love with the Blue Poplin dress, why didn’t we have target in Malaysia?

  • Kristin January 23, 2012 at 20:17

    I quite like the little straw clutch!

  • Jessica January 24, 2012 at 20:52

    I’m hopeful that this collection will be worth it. The fabrics (straw, canvas, poplin) are bound to be better than polyester like other collections. Fingers crossed!
