Tracy Feith for Target.

The images from Target's website (and various other websites/blogs) depicting the Summer 2009 collection by Tracy Feith got me quite excited. Besides the fact that I am so looking forward to the more casual, laidback wear of summer, I admire the prints and seemingly carefree structures of his pieces. (Aaand it must be the frustrated beach girl in me. :p)

I was excited to get down to my nearest Target to try on Mr. Feith's designs. I know that I will be able to present only ONE IRL photo of ONE dress, but work with me. It is, after all, my very first IRL review. ;D

So, here 'goes....

The first item I tried on was the Canvas Dress in Ebony, pictured below (from Target.com).

I loved it on, but in the end, it was that or the Hawaiian Floral Canvas Dress, which I pictured IRL below. Both was made of a substantial canvas/cotton material - light enough for those sultry days, but thick enough not to worry about your underthings showing through. To explain the length of the dress, please r

efer to the photo below - I am only 5 feet tall. So I can imagine that on someone like HeidiG (soo jealous of the height!), it'll fall where it hits the model in the photo.

The zipper on both dresses were the "less expensive" type which catches on some teeth, but not anything soap or wax can fix. There are also pockets on both sides of the dresses; you can get an idea of where they are by where my thumb is hooked in the IRL photo.

I so loved the print on the dress above that I also tried the Hawaiian Floral Canvas Print Skirt. It's made of the same material as the dresses. So pretty! (Again, it's longer on me than on the model but still short enough to qualify as a miniskirt for me.) The colors are so fresh and light that I can picture it with a lot of items I already have in my closet (or is it my own J.Crew B&M?). 

I also got the Hooded Pullover, just to throw on when I don't really feel like thinking about what to wear but still feel like being bright and cheery. :)

Just one more note on this IRL review, like most pieces from the Go International Line from Target, sizes are made on the smaller size. So, I advise you all to size up one, or even two, to get the optimum fit. ;)

Oh, and this is Tracy Feith, for those who are curious. Cowabunga, dude! :D
