New at Target: J by J.O.A.

J by J.O.A. is a new fashion line at Target
If you caught Saturday's post, you may have heard that L.A.-based apparel brand J.O.A. now has a budget-friendly fashion line at Target.com called J. by J.O.A. Thanks to alert reader Julianne A. for the tip!



Check out the new J by J. O. A. apparel brand at Target.
For comparison, here are some J.O.A. pieces (shown above) available at Shopbop.com. Prices range from $49 for this linen cold-shoulder ruffle top (on sale) to $100 for this flocked organza ruffle dress.

Per the designer description on Shopbop.com, J.O.A. is a "fashion-forward lifestyle brand [which] draws inspiration from around the world and from its fashion-savvy customers." Launched in 2013, J.O.A. has "effortless, runway-inspired" shorts, dresses, skirts and tops priced mostly under $100. You can find J.O.A. at stores like Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and Revolve.

So what can we expect from J by J.O.A. at Target? From what I can see on the website, you can get super similar styles (in juniors sizing, synthetic materials) for about half the price!

While some pieces read very young, this gingham peplum top looks really chic and fashion-forward (nice enough for the office) and costs just $26.58 on clearance.

Target is in the process of revamping its labels, which includes getting rid of its Merona and Mossimo brands, so stay tuned for more changes to come.

The 'bullseye' has already begun phasing out their Circo and Cherokee lines for kids and replaced them with Cat & Jack, to mixed reviews from Budget Babe readers.

Below I've rounded up 10 of my favorites from the J by J.O.A. line at Target. The ruffles and cold-shoulder are definitely on-point. What do you think?

Yup, sad but true! I just dedicated a post to this news so people can sound off :-)

I'm really sad that they're getting rid of Merona and Mossimo. I grew up with those brands at Target :-(

It will be sad. Now those pieces will be vintage!

I'm really bummed about losing Merona and Mossimo, too. I can't even tell you what percentage of my wardrobe is those two brands. I hope they replace them with something comparable or Target won't be on my list of clothing & shoes stores anymore, unfortunately. Let's hope! Some of these items above are cute, but I wouldn't wear them at all, and certainly couldn't wear them to work.

I just wrote a post about the new lines coming to Target. A New Day will probably be a good replacement for Merona with work to weekend pieces. We shall see!
