Libertine For Target

Cheap Thrills
Target’s latest GO: Designer line has launched, this time by Libertine.
This collection feels like two collections, one for juniors and one for fashion-forward women who mix high and low fashion. Lots of skulls and preppy prints here that smell a bit past their sell-by date. Some of the less junior-y pieces have potential. This dress is the best seller. I like the mini bolero pictured above but hate the pants. The striped blouse with a bow is cute. I’m not telling you what I ordered.
I bought what you hate. Without the sway back and high heels, they look awesome! I am in love with these pants. I love the unusual details and the slouchy silhouette. Being junior size, they were odd numbered and I had to get two sizes up from normal. It’s crucial to actually go to Target and try this stuff on. The Libertine blouses were not well-made. They are too sheer and pull open at the bust (I am not busty). Although I did get a striped puff-sleeve Libertine tee with a keyhole back that’s very cute, but does not go with the pants. Isaac Mizrahi does better blouses. I got a beautiful maroon one in a curvy cut with lovely pintucks that’s not on the website, but at the store. I also really liked all their Mossimo peasant tees, with bright colors and gathered elastic that hangs like a blouse and wears splendidly with my new favorite pants.
Now give it up, girl. What did you order and how did it fit?
