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

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!

I am SO excited for the dresses! I can’t wait to see them in person.

I can’t wait for this line to hit stores! Dying for that navy dress. xo style, she wrote
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.
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!
God I’m so obsessed with this collection – it’s ridiculous!
I fell head over heels in love with the Blue Poplin dress, why didn’t we have target in Malaysia?
I quite like the little straw clutch!
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!
