Merona for Target Spring 2011 Lookbook




Here's a first look at the Merona for Target Spring 2011 collection, featuring women's dresses, tops, bottom, accessories and shoes, available beginning now at Target stores and target.com. The palette is light and fresh, mostly white, olive, khaki, blue and pink, while the silhouettes are casual yet pulled-together: A belted shirtdress, a colorblock sheath, cropped cardigans and tailored shorts. Prints like madras plaid, sailor stripes and modern geometric designs give the collection a current, J. Crew vibe. Wedge sandals, a brown crossbody bag, thin belts and floppy hats are the perfect finishing touches. I can see myself in the cargo capris, chambray shirt, crisscross black wedge sandals and boatneck stripe top.

I might try the short white trench jacket, but everything else looks booooring!

Joy I agree with you the trench is very interesting and I will probably go check it out. As for the rest of the collection it is very "J Crew" and I am glad Target has these available for a good price but I won't be shopping it.

Love the colorblock dress and lace skirt! I'll have to get over to Target soon.

I like most of the stuff espc the cardigan. So cute! I am loving the black wedges but I don't know if they are from Merona thnough. Overall, a good collection.

Kinda boring except for the shirt dress and the colorblock dress. It's always good to see wearable pieces in the Merona collection, just need more stuff with a little detailing and interest.

Hmmm...very boring...

I am loving the black and white dress with black and white cardigan, also the denim shirt dress.

I love the python tote and that last skirt.
#7 Rachel (Homepage) on 2011-02-03 10:25 (Reply)
I love the navy lace skirt, just not how they have that styled. It would be great with a bold patterned top (but not that calico pastel print), maybe even the white trench. Can't wait to try on all those wedge sandals.

Too "mom on the go" for me, but I suppose "mom on the go" is Merona's target demographic.

Love the stripes but found the whole collection to be a bit "mom-ish" for my taste. I'm sure a lot of moms shop at Target though, so maybe that is the crowd they are going after with this collection.

And Target, you know I love you, but that swimsuit is heinous and should be sent back to the 80s from whence it came immediately.

I do like it. Lots of staples. Not a fan of how some of these were styled - would probably not have done some of those combos.
