oh yeah i did

i have a feeling we’re going to be seeing a lot of these pieces on the web pretty soon here. i just so happened to stop in at my local target yesterday and discovered the entire collection in all it’s glory just waiting on the racks for me. so yeah, i went for it and purchased this black tulle dress, the baby blue swiss dot dress, and the striped boat neck shirt. i wanted the mustard lace cardigan, but they didn’t have it there.

and of course, i saw the tavi video where i learned that the collection was inspired by bonnie and clyde, rosemary’s baby, and harold and maude. but honestly, this tulle dress speaks to my inner lydia deetz. i was obsessed with tim burton in high school (frankenweenie, beetlejuice and the nightmare before christmas) and even went through a (very) brief faze in which i wore white face makeup. and well, i never got a dress like this back then, so i think i must be making up for it now.

anyway, i got it to wear for new years but i had to play dress up and figure out how to style it. i asked my boyfriend for help and he said he prefers the black lace tights, even though it’s pretty literal this way. i also tried it with nude lace tights and leopard tights. the leopard was too much.

  1. I bought the black tulle one too!! Isn't it gorgeous? I gotta say that I love the dress styled with the black tights, but the white ones go with the dress nicely too.

  2. bahhhhhhh the target in my town doesnt carry the GO collection. lucky duck. you'll have to tell me how the sizes run so i can order accordingly!

  3. this is sick!
    i have to have this!!
    i think the black tights make more of an impact!

    with some bright colored lippy… perrrfect :)!

  4. I knew I should have went to Target today! Such a great collection. I am hoping I can scrounge up some extra cash to get some of these pieces.

  5. oh my god i'm so jealous. i'm just counting down the days when i get to go to target and check out the collection for myself. so excited :)

  6. Wow that is one gorgeous dress. I just love the skirt. And all the tights looks so pretty. I love the lacey patterns on them, both the black and white.
    I am definitely going to make a little Target trip now to see if my Target has any of that collection!

  7. too too weird. I was just in Target yesterday for Christmas shopping and the EXACT SAME DRESS caught my eye!! I liked it's simplicity and of course the TULLE.
    Simply gorgeous, dahhling! xo

  8. Oh yes just got a few pieces myself and posted it on our blog. I bought the same dress in mustard and blush I couldn't make up my mind. come to our blog and see our little shoot. Love the line and you look quite lovely in the black one :)

  9. The Target collaborations are always a little disappointing and a little matchy matchy in a weirdly banal way but the new Rodarte for Target collection is really extraordinary, I think, and this outfit post confirms it! You look really pretty in this dress and the signature Rodarte tulle is so so striking!

  10. DAAAMN, I love that dress! I stopped into Target today too. I DROOOLED over the gorgeous skirts, but landed on the mustard lace cardi (haha – jk :)). I want to see it with the leopard tights, though!

  11. clare: curses! i'm gonna try to hit up another target store because the one thing i really wanted was the lace mustard cardigan, but they didn't have it at the one i went to!

  12. oh my; i'm dying to see the collection in person but so far, I like what I see. The dress flatters you so well<3.

    btw, I'm digging the white laced tights. it offsets the dress nicely.

    xx.

  13. I agree w/your boyfriend–do the black lace tights, it looks a bit classier. And yes, its totally channeling Lydia….good call.

  14. All I want is the damn tulle skirt… but no Target in Canada makes me an unhappy girl… I'm debating if it's worth the effort to cross the border, judging by your great look here, yes.

  15. One more thing, how the sizes? Are they too big or too small? My best friend and I are going to be searching nearly everyone.

  16. Oh my I was longing for that dress (especially the cream version) when I was at Target a couple of days ago! Sadly, they only had them in Large and X-large, so it wasn't meant to be. (perhaps for the best, I'm too broke even for Target right now!)
    I like it best with the black tights too. :)

  17. The dress is awesome; I can't wait to stop in Target in the next few days. I hope it won't all be gone…

  18. gorgeous darling
    totally flawless
    love it, thanks for sharing as always
    you have a beautiful blog, keep it up

  19. TOTALLY BOUGHT THIS TODAY. And I'll remember not to wear it when we hang out, lest we undergo the "she's-wearing-the-same-dress-as-me" crisis.

    (I also bought that white fuzzy bolero thing…don't know how I'm going to style it, but I just wanted it!)

  20. You look great Erin! The black was my favorite color in that dress (the nude kind of looked like a nightgown to me and the mustard was all wrong), and I think the black tights with it are so awesome!! I just ordered the lace tights from the collection online (well, 2 hours ago, and they are already out of stock, wow) and hope to wear those two together.

  21. OOooo I really want this, as soon as I saw the looks for the line I died. I have a feeling the waistline would not compliment my figure, so I will just have to adore from afar. So cute on you.

  22. Eeek, when is Target coming to the UK? We have a shop called Primark which is a similar kind of concept, but I've never spotted anything this cute in there! I love it with the nude tights best, I think. :)

  23. Your look is perfect! The tights, your hair and the dress. Wow. I wish Target would ship to the Netherlands!

  24. I loved this so much I posted a link on my blog. Check it out at timeenoughfordrums.blogspot.com. Annie.

  25. that dress is adorable. can't believe it came from target. anyway, visited the rodarte for target page and there are so many things i want. i, too, want the mesh lace cardigan in mustard. that or the one in black.

  26. This looks so beautiful. But I must say, you look even more amazing in the blue swiss dot dress, perhaps is how the colour matches your skin tone. :)

  27. You look amazing in this dress! You wear it better than the model and you have the tights to boot! So pretty. I have the desire to go to Target now…

  28. i hated the way it looked online, but now i wish that i would have purchased it! i did get my hands on that gold lace cardi, among other things!

  29. That is such a gorgeous dress! Ahhhhh,I'm really envious of everyone. Sadly we don't have target here at all:(

    But you look so stunning in it<3
