Mixing the High and Low Fashions with Target and Walmart
Our low priced leaders have fashionably stepped up their game for the discerning plus size fashionista! With some splashes and some underthe radar finds, I wanted to share with you some steals and scores both leading low price leaders bring to us, especially when are pockets are stretched but our appetite for fashion leaves us Hungry!
Target (pronounced tar-jay)
Target has become infamous in the designer frocks- for- less arena. While we have yet to see their Go International extend beyond a size 15 (I am patiently waiting for the day) lines such as Pure Energy and Merona bring the perfect compliments for your high-low fashion mixing!
Pure Energy Spring Collection at Target
- Are you familiar with Pure Energy? Think a little flower child, a sophisticated does of boho, and florals galore! Newly launched addition to Target, Pure Energy is fashions fits specifically for the Curvy.Confident.Chic. plus size fashionista!
- Merona is Target’s private label, and with the exit of Issac Mizrahi, Merona has amped the fashion factor to include fierce frocks for us full figured!
Walmart
For a while, Walmart was a destination for household goods, electronics, and groceries, but now, Walmart has stepped into a new fashion frontier! With the addition of famed designer Norma Kamali’s line exclusively for Walmart and the newest addition, Just My Size, Walmart dares to fashion the latest in plus size fashion and is giving Target a teensy run for your money!

Wal Mart is trying to revamp their stores to compete with Target, whereas Target is trying to fill the niche left by Mervyn’s and compete with Kohl’s. While Wal Mart’s buyers are finding some of the same items carried in Target, remodeling a lot of stores, and even gave their logo something of a make over, they have a lot of work to do in order to battle their reputation of carrying fashions that are 10 years past their due date. It’s going to take a lot of convincing to get customers who know Target can provide to drive to Wal Mart, especially in some cities where there are no Wal Marts, like Los Angeles.
Jennifer´s last blog ..Get the Look: Chanel Iman
I hear you! I live in Oakland and both are drives for me… I will drive 15 to Target and if need be order online with Walmart! lol… but the best stuff with Norma Kamali is online…
I work at Walmart (ugh, I know, college blah blah) and I’ve noticed firsthand how much better the clothing selection has become. If you’re an in-betweenie like me (I’m a size 18, 5’6″, L/XL in shirts), even the Miley Cyrus (I know, I know) line is not bad at all, if you’re a trendy/younger dresser. The skirts and pants are rather wee, but the shirts and the shift dresses etc are extremely forgiving and can fit someone my size and even a bit bigger! There are new pieces coming in almost every week, and I’m sort of impressed. The OP line isn’t terrible either for casual t-shirts/tops/tanks/etc.
I personally can’t wear anything from the Just My Size line, but it does look really nice and modern, especially the winter dresses. I hope we get some of the Norma Kamali line soon! The dress on the left is a do-want for me.
You cannot wear pieces from JMS cause it is cut fuller? Great tid bit of information… thanks for dropping by!
OP? Hmmm have to check that one out!!! Didnt remember that Miley had a line out… what are your favs from the line?
I wish one of our Canadian stores — Zellers, perhaps — would strike a deal to carry Target’s plus lines. I think they’d find a great market. (And I laughed out loud at your ‘upscaling’ of the pronunciation of ‘Target’ into a pseudo-French name.)
Love Target! Havent been in Walmart lately… I’m going to check it out.. by the way, check out Avenue if you havent lately.. I just bought the cutest destucted jeans for $20!
