Hooray for Target!

I love Target, their housewares, make up and electronic sections are pretty amazing, but their plus size clothes section had never really drawn me in. I remember reading THIS post by Fat Heffalump and thinking “YES! So true”. Though when I ventured into Target last week, I was pleasantly surprised, I was drawn to the racks by a black & white striped blazer, and I admit to thinking “Oh, I wonder what size it goes up to? Maybe I could see if an 18 would fit?”, only to find, it was by Moda, the plus size range!

Excuse my silly face. I just wanted to get a picture of me wearing the blazer, amazing right? Black & White horizontal stripes! THANK YOU TARGET! The right picture is showing it with an amazing bright pink Moda top. I nearly bought that combo, but with holidays coming up I left them in the store.

Oh and the colours! It was SO good to see some very on trend colours available up to a size 26 & at a rather affordable price. Sure, a lot of the pieces are still rather flowly, loosely cut tunics, but I don’t mind that so much. I just love that they seem to be listening to what people are saying (Thanks Danimezza!)

 So, the jeans look much better in person, if I was a pants wearer I think I would have snapped them up. The print on them was embossed with like a shiny pleather like feel. So amazing! On the right a tee with silver threading through out (an an awesome geometric shirt behind it).

So, thank you Target, for creating a more diverse range of plus size clothes!

You can pick up some items online at the Target webstore HERE, but I always like to go in store to see things in person. They seemed to have a better range too. In case you were wondering, I was in the Penrith store, and I tried the blazer on in a size 20. Oh, and this isn’t a sponsored post, I am in no way affiliated with Target, I just wanted to share the news!

Have you found anything in Target that you couldn’t leave without?

    Ooh, the pleather jeans and striped blazer are super-cute! And the sparkly shirt too. I’m glad to see Target is stepping up their game. :-)

    Those jeans look amazing! It’s a step in the right direction; things are (slowly) improving for us.

    I hope we get a Target soon. All this Target talk is making me antsy for one.

    Funny, I went to Target today for the first time in a couple of months and was way impressed with their moda range. I got the striped blazer and the sizes ran really large for anybody wanting to know. I’m usually struggling to get a 26 over my arms and shoulder but the 22 fitted fine. Might be good for somebody who usually sizes out of the normal plus range.

    Can’t wait until winter to wear it:) Yours looks fab.

    OMG – I went in a few weeks ago and complained on IG about their crappy moda range – they must have released this stuff after my rant. I may have to stop in there on the way home tomorrow……love those jeans and tee

    I saw size 28 at our Target and size 8xl in the men’s line!

    I buy lots of cute stuff at Target in California. There’s one not far from my house and I check it out at least once a week. I’ve shown some of their stuff on my blog too. It’s stylingwithsusieblog.com.

    I am definitely going in for those Jeans and that silky green top… <3 Beautiful!
    Thankyou for the heads up <3

    No problems! Hope you find them!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Ohh! I wonder how different the Target is from country to country!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Oh! I didn’t really look at what size they went up to, my head wasn’t really in it on the day, but I did know they went up to large sizes, and in the mens too, I always look there for my Dad

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Yeah, I’m usually super disappointed in the Moda range, so I was really surprised when I saw things I thought were straight sized, but were actually plus. A lot of their straight range goes up to a 20 now too, which I think is good for those inbetweenies.

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    The jeans are so different, but look AMAZING in person!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Yeah, I tried on the 20, which is what you can see in the photo and it was plenty roomy. I’m thinking I may go back and put it on layby, I really love it!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Ohh, I hope you do too!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Fingers crossed they do! I’m not sure how much the Australian Target differs from overseas targets, it’d be interesting to find out!

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Yeah, it’s good to see that stores are taking more notice of what people want.

  • http://extralargeaslife.com/ Natalie Mulford

    Yes! It’s sooo good. I think you’d totally rock those jeans!
