What to Target - Proenza Schouler

I finally got my first order of Proenza Schouler for Target. I don’t know about you, but when I order from Target I am always prepared for one win plus an array of stiff and definitely not flattering ‘poly blend’ items. This time I was actually pleasantly surprised, out of the five items that I ordered four were actually really nice… Not a doubt that this collection looks great, but so far these are the available items that are totally a steal without looking so.

The Cropped Cable Cardigan Sweater is darling. Even before I tried it on I was already in love with it. It feels really nice, is 100% cotton and it’s actually quite warm for a cropped sweater. It fit me perfectly and definitely does not look like a $29.99 sweater at all.

The Long Sleeve Striped Tissue Tee is perfect for layering. It gives a lot of personality to a look without complicating it too much. It comes in two colors – green and white or red and white – I ordered them both and they are totally worth it ($16.99 a piece). Be warned that they are really made for layering; they are too thin to be used on its own.

The Palm Print Jacket, oh so cute... I do not recall being able to buy a jacket (or anything) for this price ($39.90) that instantly transformed my outfit from ordinary to creative and somewhat classy. The fabric is not five stars, but the print makes up for it. Looks great over a solid top and the Striped Tissue Tee in green.

There are a lot of items that are not available yet, so as soon as I am able to order more I will keep you all up to date.

You can find these styles at www.target.com. Make sure to combine you purchases ($50 or more) to get free shipping.
