Off the Rack: Leather Jackets, Boyfriend Blazer at Target


Whether you're looking for a new outfit for the weekend or want to get a head start on fall, Target has a few new fashion gems you'll want to check out. First, Mossimo has designed two new faux-leather jackets ($34.99) for fall and they're going fast. The leather-look construction is convincingly real! Other must-have layering pieces include a black boyfriend blazer ($29.99), and soft, lightweight boyfriend cardigans ($14.99) to help you transition your summer clothes into cooler weather. From Merona, I saw lots of classy looking separates and a few adorable dresses, some fully lined which make them perfect for the office. Colorful, coordinating tops and bottoms were placed side by side on the racks, making the task of getting dressed that much easier. I recommend the turquoise embellished top with the chocolate brown/white printed skirt—they go together nicely without being too matchy-matchy which makes the whole look appear more expensive than it actually is. Add sexy heels, modern metal jewelry and you are all set! See anything worthwhile at your Target lately?

You've got to check out the Mossimo juniors skinny cargo pants, $21.99. The green ones are dead ringers for J Brand, the fit is fantastic, and they wash up perfectly! They've got some super cute peep-toe clogs (Thaddea) online right now too for $19.99.

Hello! Oh, I went to Target two days ago and thanks to MEP, I am a satisfied owner of the green (light) and black cargo skinny pants. I love the black pants the best. I agree with MEP; these are quite comfy on and only $21.99--cheapest pair I've found so far. Even cheaper than F21! I am quite happy!

Oh, I found a pair of black jeggings there too--not the $15 pair that are on sale. Those didn't fit that great kind of baggy in places. It was the $24.99 pair--they say jeggings on the waistband. I have to wait...couldn't afford another pair of pants. Oh I wish I get Target gift cards for my birthday next week. I already had a pair of the Dolce Vita boots (lace up) being sent to me as my birthday present! hooray!

Thanks to everyone's ideas on yet another wonderful Target score! :-)

I didn't see those watches (my store's accessories section seemed pretty empty like they hadn't restocked in a while) but I did see the leopard scarf, suede wedges and weekender bag, so that means they're rolling this stuff out now. I'd check my local store if I were you!

Oooh, those dresses are pretty cute. Not a big fan of most of the other pieces, though.

BB, will you scope out the fall shoes in Target for us soon? I saw an ad that featured these fantastic rounded toe suede wedges and I'm dying for an in-person report!

The round toe suede wedges look good in person, perfect for work.

All of these are SUPER cute and I am DYING to hit up Target. I really can't wait for the boycot to be over!!

BudgetBabe - you feature Target quite a lot and I was wondering your thoughts on the current boycot.

There are coupons for Merona items at target.com! I think there's $2 off Merona clothing, $3 off Merona shoes and $2 off Merona belts.
