Target Begins ReSelling Best Sellers from Designer Collection










I for one have NO SHAME when it comes to buying cheap clothes- in my opinion, fashion is where ever you find it, whether it be the girls (or boys!) department, a thrift store, or the retail mecca for all things value and design-based: Target.

Target recently re-released their designer collections in which designers ranging from Temperly, Erin Featherston (die!), Zac Posen and Proenza Schouler developed dresses for the discount retailer. If you remember, these dresses caused mass panic last year as every fashion and budget-conscious chica hightailed it on over to Tar-jay to trample one another for the last coveted Rodarte.

Clearly I've been living under a rock, because even though I knew the textiles were being re-released, I didn't have a release date. Imagine my disappointment when I walked in to Target to find the selection picked over. Panic-stricken, I immediately sent a mass text to my army of shoppers- girlfriends, sisters, sisters-in-law, and basically every female in my rolodex. I HAD to have the green/aqua Thakoon shift dress! Sold out online, I quickly went into panic mode.

THANK GOODNESS for my sister-in-law, Maria, who was able to score the frock at her local story (thank you Mar!). Let me just tell you- this dress is everything I hoped it could be. Paired with my nude Dolce Vita wedges, it looks mod, modern, and just right for spring. Now all I'm missing are the perfect accessories (looking at you, Marni!)

Were you able to snag any of the re-released dresses? How do you plan to accessorize them for spring?
