Paul & Joe for Target

[Jazzika]

new p&j stuff: http://www.target.com/gp/browse.htm...-browse=161115011&rank=+pmrank&size=16&page=1

the cable knit poncho is there, but no owl bag!

^ they're killing us with the wait, haha!

 

[usmarinewife]

Aww, I thought for sure bc the email showed the owl bag specifically, that it'd be in the exclusives this go around! They're so frustrating!! But I do like the look of the poncho sweater.

 

[clickmekate]

oooh! love exclusives! think i'm going to get some stuff - really like the look of the p&j print shirt - i'm approx a US size 6-8 but kind of big-ish boobs (c/d cup, depending how hormonal i am lol) - should I get a M or a L?
also, is the studded hobo cheap-looking in real life? sort of like it, but a bit worried it might be nasty when i get it

 

[clickmekate]

oops, also - is the gold necklace nice IRL?

 

[usmarinewife]

clickmekate: honestly, I find both the studded hobo and gold necklace icky. I was hoping the ivory hobo would be nice, but it looks more grayish to me in irl and just cheap. The necklace looks cheap and kiddish to me, as well. I wouldn't recommend either of those items. I'm not sure about the shirt for you. I normally wear a small and have c-d boobs, as I'm breastfeeding, and the small fits fine (yet a bit snug in the chest). I don't plan for them to be this size forever though! LOL...hope that helps.

i thought the gold necklace was kinda cute. not something i'd buy though.

i think the white poncho would be perfect for where you live kate!! hope you get it!

i saw the bags in person at my local target. they were OK. not hideous by any means. its not as bad as youve heard.

for the skinny owl jeans i bought a pair yesterday soooo cute wearing them now and i got size 5 because i am size 26 in all designer jeans and they fit nicely. so dont get size 7... too big hehe

 

[jun3machina]

just got the updates, but look like someones posted them here already honestly, both the studded bag and gold necklace looked like stuff from claires, super cheap!!!! im waiting for the owl bag too, and have to say i totally thought it was going to be in this "exclusive". but since they had the poncho...i was at least expecting the knit bag......how long are they going to make us wait?

 

[mello_yello_jen]

I really wish I got the owl skinny jeans when I saw them, I went back today and there was only one pair left and it was a size 7 or something

However they did have these denim in most sizes, the striped denim, the bow-pin tank top in blue, a lot of the ribbed tanks, the sleeveless henley.... basically my target had everything but the poncho (there were 2 left), the blazer, the lace top, and the dolman top.

I'm waiting on the owl bag!

oops, also - is the gold necklace nice IRL?

the gold necklace is kinda cheap-looking, really fake goldish and the locket clangs quite thinly, so it's not substantial. the locket is victorian romantic, but the other charm is kind of bling-y. i was going to take it back, but actually it's starting to grow on me in a very strange way, so i'm going to wait a little longer until i make my decision - or call forth my inner gwen stefani!

new issue of jane magazine is carrying the new ads.

the one with the brown haired model wearing the plaid shirt and brown cord jacket.

the magazine also has the pink houndstooth skirt in it.

arrrggghhh...first Paul and Joe for Target, now Behnaz Sarafpour for Target, I am going to go BROKE from buying stuff from Target, and whats worse is that it is all JEANS that i want!!

 

[clickmekate]

thanks, ladies - have removed the bag & necklace from my cart!
usmarinewife - think i will go for the M just to be sure in the shirt.

really want to get my free shipping though, and am tempted by the stripe leg blue jeans - did anyone buy these yet? does the stripe make you look hippy?

 

[lucy92]

i was not at all enthused with the jeans with the stripe. whats the point?

there is also a peach tie back paisley blouse. havent seen that in stores yet. however if my purple one turns out to a winner ill search for it.

ive noticed that all the luella items have been pulled from the target website. maybe theyve all been given to charity!

clickmekate, get one of the bow pin tanks to push you over $50, they are great! much better than expected!

 

[usmarinewife]

kate: like lucy, i also wasn't thrilled over the stripe jeans the more i looked at them. i'd much rather go for the skinny jeans.

lucy: i've been seeing that peach tie back in my stores all along. i think i like that one better than the lavender, but haven't tried it on yet. please let us know what you think of the lavender! that's interesting the luella stuff is all gone.

just wanted to point out that the lovely navy herringbone pants are available for purchase, as well as the longsleeve floral woven shirt that is in the outfit with the sweater poncho. you have to dig for these items, though. go to the exclusives page, and click on the peach silk wrap around top. once that's open, click on view collection under the pic, and that look page will open up, allowing you to view the herringbone pants and purchase them! I can't wait to get mine in the mail! Do this same thing by clicking on the sweater poncho page, and view collection, where you'll find the longsleeve floral woven shirt. I hope this helps!!

Added: also do the view collection trick with the denim shirt, you can buy the paul & joe logo sweater now, too!! the blue & green one in the ads.

 

[lucy92]

there is also a herringbone jacket. (click on cotton twill pants and view collection)

sadly, it looks a little too casual for my work!

 

[usmarinewife]

Thanks, lucy! Would give you karma if possible.
Didn't even see that one!

 

[lucy92]

i got my shipment in!

i love the white black poppy top. very cute sleeves. i got an M in this and the size fit perfectly. itll be OK if it shrinks a bit in cleaning. i expect it to. a very nice top! im not surprised this is sold on target.com.

tie back paisley blouse. sleeves are a tad tight, and i expect the lace sleeves will chafe as well. however im keeping it. it is a little hard to maneuver out of though. you want someone around to help you out of it at night. its not as low cut as i thought either.

The short sleeve jaquard sweater runs pretty big. my size M sweater has a lot of fabric under the armpits. also runs long but thats OK. im going to see if i can switch this for a small.

im still waiting for that flowered top that was in shop etc. magazine. im going to return it as soon as it comes in.

and target sent me a 10% off code as well. hopefully it wont expire before the new paul & joe items appear!

clickmekate I've bought a few of the Paul & Joe pieces, and I just buy my normal size (xs). I'm very small, but with a 32D bra, and the pieces all fit fine; they don't look too small in the chest.
