I'm still rather new at this so sometimes I let my emotions get in the way of things! I still have to keep reminding myself it's not me, it's the clothes!</p> <p>Isis, you are right, I am lucky to have a bunch of fab stuff! I've tried on and returned massive amounts of clothes so I could afford to be picky and keep only the best. I still am aiming for 10's. But honestly, I think I'm being a little less rigorous with these ones because both DH and DD have asked me to stop buying clothes, so it's my only chance for some spring/summer clothes for the forseeable future, LOL! I'm full up on fall/winter clothes but spring/summer is a relative hole for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2/page/2#post-542903 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 04:02:54 +0000 Anonymous 542903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About the blue dress, as you know, an item of mass produced clothing will never fit two people the same way. I am a bit puzzled by your question, honestly.</p> <p>I mean, Modgrl and I tried the same polka dot blouse she is wearing on her WIW today. Actually, a bunch of us tried it, in different colors.</p> <p>As you can see, that blouse on her looks killer. On me it looks OK, just OK. I would not really lose a second trying to come up with reasons why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2/page/2#post-542868 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:37:40 +0000 Isis 542868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, I dissed the dress on you because it looked like the waist was too high.....so I would bet that you are longer waisted than Heather, where the dress looks like it is sitting on her true waist....</p> <p>Also, I am especially critical lately of your K/R because I've seen so many really fab dresses in your closet.....so I was comparing these dresses to those because I thought your closet was basically "done" and I assumed you would want only 10+'s......is that a fair assumption? It occurs to me that maybe I shouldn't assume that you are not interested in expanding your wardrobe with perfect items, and I shouldn't assume that you don't have any real holes left.......</p> <p>But perhaps I'm way off base! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2/page/2#post-542862 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:32:41 +0000 modgrl 542862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought that dress was cute. Not like an investment piece, but a let's have some fun this summer piece. Those are two separate categories for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2/page/2#post-542860 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:30:20 +0000 goldenpig 542860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Claudia for the link! If it's good enough for the First Lady then it must be good enough for me, LOL! Maybe I will try it with my ink blue cardigan too. I think I like the V neckline on #13 better on me than the crew neck on #10. The good thing about that dress is it's so huge without the belt, it could double as a maternity dress if I ever had another baby! LOL!</p> <p>I'm confused about why this stuff doesn't look good on me. I'm going to have to give that first dress another try because I really like that style the most of all these pieces. It looked so good on Heather, why doesn't it look good on me? Help me analyze, please! And be honest, don't worry about hurting my feelings. (I'm genuinely curious, so I will know what to look for next time!) Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2/page/2#post-542637 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:45:47 +0000 HelenInCanada 542637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She wears it well! I like the cobalt cardigan she paired it with.

Thank you. </p> <p>I like #10 a lot, it is different. I also like #13, but it is similar to #10. It looks more ordinary than #10, but more comfortable. I would keep either of those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-542164 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:50:23 +0000 Marley 542164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really think that any of these do you justice. The price is nice, I know - but that is no reason to buy them. I'd save my money on something more fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-542127 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:39:08 +0000 shoppingisfun 542127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress in 1-4. Maybe I am just not that fashionable (heck, I don't even wear skirts) but I like that length (I am not into midis; IMHO they make most people of average height look short), and I think it's fun. I like the yellow top in #8, you could wear it alone or layer it a bunch of different ways. I really don't like the dress in pic 6, but it looks a little better with the belt. The top in 9 is cute, but looks like the fabric drapes kind of weirdly around the armpits? I like the last dress as well. I have not, however, seen any of these pieces in person so I am not sure what the quality is like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-542083 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:02:55 +0000 goldenpig 542083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your input! I was kind of cringing every time I opened this thread, but I really appreciate the honesty. I'm kind of sad these things don't look better on me--they looked so cute online, but the fit is weird and the quality isn't that great. At this point I'm leaning toward keeping the first and the last dress (1-5 and 13, although 10 is still a contender) for casual summer dresses, although still not 100% sure. If anyone wants any of the rest, let me know otherwise I'm returning it all to Target. Oh well, worth a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-542077 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:51:14 +0000 catgirl 542077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I like the dress/trench combo, realistically, you won't always be wearing it with outerwear. I'm going to be honest again and say I don't think any of these are fab enough for you. Yes they are inexpensive but they still shouldn't make you compromise on the little details. Sorry, Natalie - I feel like such a naysayer lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541977 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 03:03:28 +0000 cjh 541977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are brave and tireless in trying on everything. Thanks for taking the time to share your photos.</p> <p>I have to say I like 13. It is flirty and looks fun and versatile.</p> <p>Now for The bad news. Dress 1 kind of looks little girly with the high waist and short hem. Dress 6 just looks like a big t shirt to me. I'd much rather see you in your pretty black outfit with the blue blazer, or some of your pretty skirts and blouses from earlier in the winter.</p> <p>The yellow top looks flimsy and not your best sunny color, and the pink one reminds me of sheer nylon tricot of vintage nightie fame. Of course it may all be just my computer images, but I agree you already have things that are so much nicer. </p> <p>I like 13 better than 10. The sheer top yoke looks sort of limiting in where you could wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541841 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:08:41 +0000 rachylou 541841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 &amp; 13 are my votes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541765 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 22:25:38 +0000 lyn* 541765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi GP! Glad to see you got the 6 ... wanna try the 4 still? Let me know and send me a message. *nodnod* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541683 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:20:23 +0000 Jem 541683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 from the front, but not especially from the side. The rest I'm not that crazy about. You already have such amazing clothes, I think these can't really compete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541680 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:15:31 +0000 Vicki 541680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think we're all over the map here on this. I like #10 best and I think #6 is an interesting shift look and better "without" the belt. I personally think you look fine in the pink-with-black-edging blouse in #9. But, if you just want only one Wu piece, I would vote for #10 over all the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541578 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:33:59 +0000 rae 541578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 without the belt - the bright red belt actually emphasizes the waist placement issues. I still don't think it's quite a 10, though. </p> <p>I like #10 the best - the fabric seems to be behaving nicely, the waist is in a good spot, and the sheer top part is fun yet still in line with your demure persona. I give that one an 8.5-9. </p> <p>The rest are all around a 5 to my eye. Smack in the middle, kinda meh. Your bar is set very high, Natalie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541545 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:54:07 +0000 Tina 541545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the problem with all but #13 is that the cut is primitive, not a lot of attention given to the fit of the pattern. #10 is OK too, I'm not sure what your goal is for these pieces but if you are aiming for only the best of the best then I would say #13. It suits your style and it fits you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541541 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:49:09 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 541541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 3/4 (first dress belted) and 13. 10/11 is in 2nd place. I'm not wild about the rest - I don't think they flatter your figure well.</p> <p>My concern about the first dress, which is my personal favorite just in terms of design, is the bunching at the side/under your arms. It looks like it may not be a good fit and/or uncomfortable. I think the high waist and length look just fine on you. </p> <p>How is the quality? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541538 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:48:28 +0000 HelenInCanada 541538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you like to investigate to the fullest! Lol! I think the Jason Wu collection is being harshly overcriticized. It's his interpretation of fashion-for-all (mass production for every size &amp; shape on a budget), so it's meant to be fun and up-to-the-minute chic rather than timeless pieces, I would think. The price says so too! So in that regard, dress #1 and #10 look adorable and fresh for spring/summer (and something you can play around in!), while the blouse in #9 looks great for work or dressier daytime outings. I like it a little better than #8 blouse, just because it's a little different, more lighthearted! I like the black pleated skirt too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541526 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:28:06 +0000 Jilly 541526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely like the navy dress better with the red belt - more waist defining. and the red trench really adds some great color. My other favorites are 8, 9, 10 and 13, with the 13 being on top. Looks like you got a great haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541467 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:35:58 +0000 ironkurtin 541467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't much care for any of these looks on you, I think they're cut a bit "young" - like a schoolgirl smock - and I'm not sure of the quality. I do like the last skirt, minus the top, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541452 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:19:05 +0000 ManidipaM 541452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first dress much more than the second, but now that Jonesy's pointed it out, I can't get over the pulling under the arm. Maybe try a couple of different bras with it to make sure it really is the wrong size? </p> <p>I think neither of those tops is all that great, so unless you have a different top you could wear with that skirt, or plan to buy another...? Do you particularly live the skirt?</p> <p>The last two dresses, I think I'm on the fence. I actually like the first a bit more overall, but the second is almost as good belted and I'm liking that neckline better on you (it's not so much the shoulders, for me, which I think looks great in the first).</p> <p>Not sure if that was much help! sorry :-/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541445 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:14:13 +0000 Kappy 541445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #13 is great on you; it also is very flattering and looks like it would be versatile. I still love 6/7. I don't find any of the others to be flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541435 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:05:12 +0000 Nakidra 541435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Claire, Natalie. These aren't as amazing as you are and are sorta making you look too hippy and I know you aren't. You are too wonderful and have come such a long way. These pieces are a step back for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541414 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:33:14 +0000 Jewell 541414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Overall I think this lot is better than the first. I like that first dress belted, but am having a hard time voting without seeing it pressed. I know that would make it look even better. The dress in pics 6/7 looks better to me without the belt. I rather like the pleated skirts on you, but I'm not as crazy about the blouses. And it might just be me, but #13 looks to be the least flattering in the waistline.</p> <p>Is there any item that you just love the look, fit, and feel of? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541412 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:30:26 +0000 Diana 541412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 10 and 13, and am not crazy about the rest. For 10 and 13, I'd probably only keep one, since they are so similar. 13 seems more comfy and breezy, but what does it look like from the side? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541408 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:29:10 +0000 Anonymous 541408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all so cute and I can see why you liked them. I'm not loving the cuts of all of them on your frame however. Something about them make you look short waisted and the shorter hem lengths have a broadening effect that a midi full skirt or a pencil of this length don't have. The last two dresses are the best because they fabric collapses at your sides and drapes beautifully. Really spring-y and light. Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jason-wu-for-target-round-2#post-541398 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:15:52 +0000 Isis 541398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #4, with a belt, but I see the pulling in the bust that Jonesy is talking about.</p> <p>I like #10, but I wonder if what the mesh/fabric transition looks like IRL.....is the material comfortable?</p> <p>#13 is OK.</p> <p>All in all, I think I vote to return the lot. </p>
