Jean Paul Gaultier for Target

I’m a big fan of the Designer for Target collections, because I’ve scored some pretty sweet pieces from them over time. On March 7th, Target will release the Jean Paul Gaultier collection, and I’m eager to get my hands on a few pieces of it for the spring!

My favorite things came from the Thakoon for Target collection, but I’ve amassed pieces since the beginning of the Designer for Target lines from Luella, Tara Jarmon, McQ by Alexander McQueen, and Rodarte. Shopping these Target lines can be sort of tricky, because the clothes often look better in the press photos than in person, and the sizing is often really sporadic. I’ve found that the more simple pieces are often the best ones to grab, because intricate detailing often doesn’t translate well with Target’s relatively cheap production.

The pieces I’ve got my eye on from the JPG line are the cotton trench coat and the purple floral dress. I’m in dire need of a new trench, and I think the navy blue stripe detailing on this is adorable, and it’s only $59.99! I am also a dress addict, and I love the romantic neckline on this one ($39.99). I’ve already informed my boyfriend that there will be a Target run on that day (It’s sort of a hassle to get to Target from where I live), so I’ll report back on how the collection looks in person later! In the meantime, you can take a look at the full lookbook on Target’s website.
