The Jason Wu Disappointment

I'm not sure how many of you were aware of this, but designer Jason Wu (of the First Lady fame) had a line at Target.

This is one of Target's continued programs to have a well-known designer create a brand line for Target.  Most recently it was Missoni, which sold out IN MINUTES after hitting the shelves.

Personally, I was really excited for the Jason Wu line because he designs really classic inspired pieces with a bit of retro flare.  So I got up early, walked Samson, showered and made it to Target 5 minutes after it opened.

I beelined right to the Jason Wu pieces (along with several other ladies) and was really disappointed.  I had looked at all the pieces online before hand and was looking forward to a few in particular.  My target had NONE of them that I was looking for.

So I grabbed a few things to try on anyways and see how they fit.  

I should've known, this was not my first shopping attempt, that all the pieces would be cute - just not for me.  A cute chiffon dress was that awkward "it's a mini, no... it's just too short for her" length.  The same thing goes for the rest of the skirts/dresses.  So I tried a few blouses.  Blouses that were unnaturally boxy, and not in a good way.

Needless to say, I left extremely disappointed (though my wallet was happy).  I did pick up a few toiletry items I needed, along with this adorable scarf and a skinny neon pink belt.


Who doesn't love a chartreuse green polka dot?
