Right On Target

Kudos to Target for some great contemporary pieces in their current plus size women's offerings! Aside from the fact that I just mistakenly wore as bathing suit cover up as a dress (mea culpa) there are some really adorable pieces for spring that take us out of the dowdy world that has historically been Target's women's sizes offerings.

Target has introduced a Plus Young Contemporary line. It might say young, but don't think you have to be a teenager to wear these fun and flirty pieces. This line is going to appeal to every woman who wants a few new trendier pieces for her spring/summer wardrobe, but who does not have alot of money to spend. And with the economy the way it is right now, isn't that most of us? Thankfully, Target is spreading some of it's budget-friendly, design-conscious style to women's sizes and it's about time.

Some of my favorite must-haves:

The Kimono dress in purple. This soft jersey knit features kimono sleeves and an empire waist. The V-necks is fabulous on most plus size women as it elongates (as opposed to a scoop neck which emphasizes roundness.) This piece could take you to work and out to play and at only $19.99, it's a steal.

The flutter sleeve top in red floral. Florals are a big look this spring. Here is your chance to get a very runway, high-end look for a small fraction of the price. At $19.99, this top will be adorable with everything from jeans to trousers to cropped pants. Romantic and sure to make you feel prettier than you already do!

Asymmetrical Print Tee. Who doesn't need a little bit of the 80's in their closet? This t-shirt will be a great piece for those nights out on the town. Wear it with black leggings or peg leg jeans and ballet flats and you're ready to give Joan Jett a run for her money. What a fun addition to your wardrobe and again, for $19.99, even if you spill a glass of wine on it while dancing to Wham, who cares?

So, my advice ladies is to check out your local Target and see what fun items you can find. I'm anxious to see what's next!
