Thakoon For Target - A Quick Fitting Room Review

Without going into detail about each piece, here are my fitting room photos of the six pieces I tried on from Thakoon's GO International collection at Target. I didn't find many of the designs to be flattering on my frame, as the pleats and full, loose shapes of the garments added bulk. I found the collection's skirts and dresses to have a more mature appeal than past GO collections. In particular, I feel that the A-line skirts, full dresses, and the canvas trench coat have a sophisticated feel which may help to attract an older customer than past GO collections. To define my waist and reign in volume, I added my skinny studded belt to two of the pieces. In the end, I purchased the cyber floral dress, the shibori print cardigan in navy/white, the striped dress in tree frog/blue, and the oxford striped tee in blue/tree frog (not pictured). The resort-like qualities of the pieces, with their summer prints and lightweight fabrics, have me longing for warmer weather or for a vacation to somewhere like Hawaii or Australia. As a resident of sunny southern California, I'll be wearing my new purchases very soon, but if I lived in a colder climate, I might be stashing these away for a few months.

So far there isn't anything from the collection that I felt worth getting, maybe I have to see it in person.

Hi Poster Girl!
Nice review & I agree with you on the more sophisticated look for this collection, which I personally really like!

My favorite is still the Trench Coat. But the White & Blue print dress looks great on you. Some of the other dresses, are way too shapeless though for my tastes.

Happy New Year!

Pleated stripe dress green looks good with a studed belt.
