Rodarte for Target Review:



1. Leopard Print Lace Dress:
pros: I love lovee the fit of this dress and the whole leopard print thing was just perfect.
cons: I thought the color of the dress was a more yellow than I expected it to be. Also some of the colors on this particular dress was smeared with one another..making parts of it greenish looking??

2. Black Slip Lace Dress:
pros: One thing I like about this dress is its unique design(lace, tulle, bows). Definitely something I would wear to a dinner party.
cons: The top part of the lace slip is a tad bit complicating because it is way too big. Not a good choice for girls with a smaller chest size. Also, you would have to find the perfect strapless bra so it wouldn't reveal itself underneath the lace part of the slip.

3. & 4. Lace Halter Dress in black and floral
pros: Very girly and pretty. The fit was just right. Although the chest part is a little snugged on me.
cons: The top part might be too tight for girls with a larger chest size.

5. Sequined Leopard Dress
pros: Quality and detail of the dress is executed very well. (Although my phone cam didn't do it any justice)
cons: Very very low cut. (Unless it's flattering on you..then go for it!)

6. Lace Print Dress
pros: Big fan of the black and neutral color scheme. The pretty lace pattern is very versatile for all seasons.
cons: The waistline didn't cinch where I wanted it to.

7. Skeleton Rib Cage Dress (not in stock)
pros: What is there not to like about sparkles + ribcage design?
cons: Might not be a good investment staple to transition you through each season.

  10. Your review was really awesome - v practical and helpful. Thinking about buying a Rodarte for Target dress but missed the online sale (now everything is sold out) ...think I should take a road trip!

  11. LOVE your chilly day look. It's so effortless and I esp love those plaid shorts! I've been looking for a pair but can never seem to find one in my size that fits the way I want them to. GREAT Review for the Rodarte for Target Collection! I love the pics with the pros and cons, definitely gives readers a better idea of what they're getting. And you're so lucky to live in a town where everyone isn't fashion savvy lol totally works to your advantage!

    That aside, I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season. Looking forward to your bluefly store in the coming new year! xo

  12. I absolutely agree re: Rodarte for Target. Unfortunately, I can't find the black lace cardigan anywhere, but once I left the city, pretty much every other piece was in the Target stores in the boonies.

    Great outfit, by the way. I love layering knee high socks with tights and wearing them with knee high boots.

  13. I love your chilly day outfit.. :) Your newphew is such a cutie. Hope you had a great holiday.. and it is crazy that the new year is approaching so quickly! It's exciting, but kinda sad.. :(

    I really wish I could check out the Rodarte line in person, but I need to fly to Oahu. Can you believe that we still don't have a Target here.. Oahu has three!! and the Big Island has one. Boo for us! Maybe me and the hubby will hope on a plane next week for a weekend stay. :)

    Hope you're doing great!

    Love & Aloha, S

  31. Thanks for the tips. I walked into a Target in Palm Springs while I was there on a trip. Needless to say the Rodarte line was completely picked over. I'm sorta happy though, because I probably wouldn't have liked anything on me. So, it sorta saved me in the end. You look great in all the pieces though, I'm surprised you didn't get anything except for the bikini.
