This morning at ten minutes after ten o'clock I walked [read: ran] into my local Target store for the coveted Jason Wu collection.
There was already a girl there browsing the too small racks, throwing garments into a pushed by her boyfriend. I dove in, sans cart, and started grabbing as many items as I could (well, the ones I wanted anyway, I wasn't that girl). I picked up two dresses, a blouse, a skirt, a shirt that I though belonged to a dress, another skirt, and the last light blue cardigan there was. I was delighted to see that there was a range of sizes that didn't stop at medium and size 8.
The women at the fitting room told me I couldn't take all of my items with me, so I left the blue cardigan at the desk, knowing I'd be buying it no matter what. I was pleasantly surprised once I go the clothes on. They fit wonderfully and weren't too short, which was something I started to get really worried about prior to shopping.
I ended up buying the two dresses, one shirt (the blouse), one skirt, and of course, the cardigan. But before I could do that I had to verify repeatedly to the fitting room attendants and other shoppers that I did indeed like the clothes and I would be buying them. (One of those people was a sixty year old women in the same black skirt I was buying who wouldn't shut up about how weird the lining of it was).
I'll post pictures of the pieces later, but let me say that the collection is so great if you like feminine, 1960s style clothing. The fit is what you would expect of normal, not high fashion designer, clothing, so don't worry about not being sample size. If you want it though, you're going to have to go the store.
I looked online when I got home because my store didn't have the entire collection, and I really wanted that white dress and the cat shirt. Only a small handful of the clothes are available for online purchase. My store was also completely out of the bags (yes, by ten!), but they weren't really online either.
If you want a big selection, hit up a bigger area instead of a Target in a smaller city. You will also want to get there fast, since I don't know if stores will be restocking, and if they do, it probably won't be a lot. The Jason Wu collection is in stores until March 6th.
