LOTC - Zac Posen for Target

Yikes have I been amiss or what on my Luxing it on the Cheap features.  Apologies, I'll get back on track with chic and cheap finds - promise!

So much has been said about Zac Posen - an arrogant, somewhat eccentric Boy Wonder.  Well who wouldn't be if he jumped into the fashion elite and started his own line at 21?  I was just happy to have a paycheck then!  I've always admired his eye for clothing that really drapes well on and looks great on ladies.
Just look at his amazing gowns as worn by Tina Fey and Beyonce.

But people aren't lining up to spend $20,000 on a dress in this economic climate.  So it's a good thing for him and us that not only did he launch a lower priced line at Saks (first mentioned here) he'll be launching a collection at Target on April 25 (and he apparently really needs some help according to the NY Times).  While there are no red carpet gowns, there are quite a few fun pieces and all my picks are less than $80.  I find the Target collaborations to be hit or miss (a bit saddened by the Rodarte collection) but you be the judge and check it out in the spring.

Brocade Tie dress in floral print - $74.99. Love that bow and I'd rock it in the spring!

 

 Something about this halter dress in black gold says 80s chic to me.  I'm intrigued and it's only $49.99.

 

The two piece ruffled dress is so freaking fun.  At $79.99, it's a pretty great prom/cocktail dress option.

This gown in safety pin print (really fun maxi to me) is pretty tropical chic and only $69.99.

 

I'm intrigued by this pleated tie top - one piece, two pieces?  I want to check it out in store and it's only $34.99.

 

Finally, I'm all over this tuxedo jacket if the quality is decent.  $49.99 is a pretty great deal for a classic piece like this.

 

What do you think of the collection?  Will you get anything?

Worth it? Zac Posen Z Spoke Silk Jacket

Happy weekend lovelies!  I bookmark a lot of random stuff on the internet that I find interesting.  I usually try to keep in mind unique items but price is usually the factor that keeps me from immediately buying something.  So I thought I'd start throwing it out to you and see how you feel about it.  I'm always on the lookout for deals and paying less than retail, but I'm always trying to find products that are cool and worth the price (because hey a dozen of a cheap brand's item could still be worth one drool worthy item from another brand).  Thus begins the "Worth it?' series!

First up is a piece from Zac Posen's collection for Saks Fifth Avenue (btw I'll also highlight his Target collection very soon!).  This small collection is at a lower price point than his normal pieces (everything is below $600) and there are quite a few nicely constructed pieces.  Though $475 is not $600, it's still quite a bit so is it worth it for this cute jacket?

 

 

It's silk with a silk lining and I love the 3/4 tie sleeves.  It'd go with a ton of things in my closet and silk is a good lightweight fabric.  I'm still a little scared by the price though.

So do you think it's worth it?
