Review: Patrick Robinson for Target
I tend to have high expectations for Target's Go International collections, which are then crushed when I walk into the store and realize absolutely none of it is going to look any good on me. Paul & Joe was adorable but, uh, green gingham tap pants are NEVER going to be a fashion statement I'm willing to make.
Patrick Robinson might be the exception. I have no idea who he is, but his collection for Target looks stylish and unlike most of the others, doesn't look shoddily made. I want:
I love pleats. And even though I don't really need ANOTHER tan skirt, I want this one because, yes, pleats, plus cute crossover design, plus a flippy little mini I can wear with wedge sandals. Plus, dude, its $30.
Like many of the commenters on Target's site, I think I'd have to remove the second elastic. My thighs are way too big to draw attention to them that way. But this is a $25 dress, in a gorgeous shade of gray. I think I could perform surgery for that price, or even take it to the dry cleaners and have them do it.
I'm not so secretly a hippie chick, so that's probably why I can see Patrick Robinson's stuff working better on me than the other designers have. So maybe this time around I'll actually buy some.
