Yesterday Target launched their latest GO International affordable fashion collection by designer Erin Fetherston. Her clothes will either remind you of what you wore when you were 5 years old, what you found at Goodwill when you were 15, or what Courtney Love used to wear in the '90s (minus the smeared lipstick). Whichever way you choose to reference her looks, there's sure to be at least a piece or two that tickles your fancy today. Let's take a peek:
We just had to try on the most over-the-top, girly looks first - but as we sorta expected, they didn't work for us. At all. This chiffon layer dress (left) looked downright silly, as did this red satin jumper which we paired with a white long sleeve tee that had a goofy white bow in the center. Laugh, and move on...
We felt like the clapper of a bell suspended freely within the doming skirt of this little black dress (left) - not at all flattering.
This cape-like wool coat on the right, however, was fabulous! And that's where we were ultimately most satisfied - all the outerwear was well-constructed, feminine and fashion-forward. We loved the ruffle details on the shoulders and the black heart appliqués. Smashing. Don't ask why, but it had an Artful Dodger feel that made it especially fun to wear.
Perhaps our favorite piece was this jacquard print bow jacket. The bow was plump and had kept it's shape during shipping - the fabric looked expensive - and the fit through the shoulders was spot-on, a detail we find especially important for cropped swing coats. Love, love, love it! Perfect for an evening at the theater or ballet. Darling.
We wanted to show you this amazing velvet blazer, too, but it was at this point that our dear sweet camera battery died. Oops!
The bottom line: Get thee to a Target (if you haven't already) and check out Erin Fetherston's line for yourself - and of course, let us know what you think!
