STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I like this dress, but strange that it's in odd (1,3,5,11) sizes:



FYI for NYC girls.  Opening Ceremony is going to carry the line this weekend only starting on Friday.  I'll try to make it by there and will post if I do.  Otherwise it's Jersey City Target for me on Sunday.

ACK!!

It had better not be sold out, I REALLY wanted a few of the pieces.

I was at Target on Tuesday (in MN) and they already had some of the items. Some of the ones that I wanted I didn't like as much, and some of the other ones I wanted weren't in the store. Does anyone know if they'll be introducing some of the items later on?

I think that they usually introduce the pieces on a couple different dates. So if there's something that's not there now, it should be in a couple weeks.

 

thought I'd grab some spring work clothes (using our amazon link at the bottom of the forum, of course!) thanks for posting about this, shopgirl.

The only item that looked okay to me is this bag:
And I will probably change my mind when I see it in person.

I am really impressed with this GO collection. I ended up spending way too much and will need to return some items. The silks are a good quality and have a bit of heft to them. The stitching and execution are well done. I think this line is the most expensive that Target has done and it has paid off. But, the dye on the purple suede clutch seems like it will rub off on your clothes.

Since the line for the dressing room was way too long, I ended up getting the silk "wrap" dress in a medium and a large. One is going back. The swing coats and skirts are very nice and I think worth the money. I can't comment on fit because I dropped the items off at my office. I'll try them on later.




I got this in brown



I got this because I like the Trompe l'oeil inspiration



the purse


this in blue and in purple - something tells me these are both going back


A large bag that is "look 2" and a black version of the bikini "look 16"

Shopgirl--thanks so much for posting this!  i'm glad you gave these pieces such positive reviews.  i have the purple jacket in my cart as well as this whole outfit:



i have a question about these shorts though for you or anyone else that might know or want to venture a guess:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000LNZ4C0/ref=ord_cart_shr/104-0745319-3773568?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=A1VC38T7YXB528&v=glance

what would the equivalent of a size 5 be?  i am in btw sizes right now b/c i just had a baby 3 mos ago, but i can wear my size 26 citizens and 2 br pants, etc.  would a size 5 fit me you think??  are they like a 4?  i can't try these on b/c i live overseas now and tragically there is no target.  thanks in advance!

I found sizing for bottoms to be quite varied.  I wear a 27 in citizens and in some of the PS skirts, I was a 5, but for shorts I had to get a 7, and for the mini I had to get a 9.  I think a 5 in those shorts would be fine.  If they had those shorts in stock at my local Target I'd go and check them out for you, but I didn't see them yesterday.

1,3,5,7,9 are junior sizing. I'm not good with conversion, but when I was a 4, I wore a 7 in junior sizing.
