Target's newest Go International collection is finally up for preview on the
Target press website. The blogs have been buzzing about this newest collaboration – with
Tucker by Gaby Basora – for a few months now. So how are the clothes?

So far, they look good. The line is designed to favor layering which is perfect for transitioning from summer into fall. There are a lot of dresses and skirts (in varying lengths – I love that everything isn't super short!), paired with layering pieces like vests and sweaters designed with a mind for mixing pattern and color. Mixed prints is looking like a rising fall trend which makes this line very of-the-moment. But since it's all separates, it's still accessible to those not so adventurous.

Most of the pieces look very wearable... although I don't know about those shorts. (Baggy herringbone shorts? Really? Who's going to look good in those? And why is the shorts and tights thing coming back anyway? But bad retro trends is another post for later this week...) There's even a reasonably subdued jumpsuit if you're into that sort of thing. I love love love the vibrant colors and prints. So much of fall fashion gets bogged down in dark and dreary that it's refreshing to see some hot pink and purple mixed in with the more traditional hues.

The line becomes available in select stores and on Target.com on September 12 and most pieces seem to hover below the $50 mark (though there is a $79.99 bomber jacket). But I wouldn't advise buying online if you can find these items in a brick-and-mortar store. The Go International line is junior-sized, which means trying on is a must unless you're used to shopping the junior racks. Also, it must be said: the fabric quality can be dodgy. What looks great in pictures can sometimes look flimsy and cheap in person and Target often keeps these lines affordable by skimping on the fabric. (The Jean-Paul Gaultier line was really bad.)
I'll definitely be hitting my local Target to check out the Tucker line next week! If I find any gems I'll post an update – and if any readers check it out, let me know!
Awesome! My list for the fall includes a long sweater vest, so I may have found one. Also, some fall/winter weight skirts. I have a ton of spring and summer skirts, but only one heavier one. But, like you said, must be tried on and must check the quality.
