Trying on Jonathan Saunders for Target GO International

By -
Jael and I ventured to Target recently to try on the Jonathan Saunders line for Target's GO International. Here's what we thought of it.


Jael liked the look of the shirts, but said the fabric was thin, stiff and scratchy. She thought the blue ombre skirt was awesome, but wasn't sure how to work it into her wardrobe. We both liked the idea of the Han Solo pants, but the super stretchy material made then tricky to wear. As for the black knit ponte skirt she said "Love, want, need the black skirt."


As with most Go International lines, I found things to be too short. The belted dress on the left had potential but no shape. Even with the belt it was just boxy. I liked the vest and skirt but I felt like the vest flattened me a bit and I wished the skirt would have been a stiffer material. However, the Windowpane graphic tee was probably my favorite piece. The print top/dress thing was an odd length (and requires skinny jeans, which I wasn't wearing that day). Even on me it feels long for a top, but it's definately not dress length.

Lucky for you, it all just went on clearnce! (I might have to buy that t-shirt now).

I love the Han Solo pants, but a woman with hips wouldn't be able to zip and fasten them. Aside from that, they made my butt look amazing!

I went to Target today and the best sales were only 50% off, making almost everything still too expensive for the quality (...for me). Boo hoo :(

I did get knee socks and discounted purple flats though! I've never shopped so much in one week...

I appreciate your pics and reviews so much! If I may just make one suggestion for future posts, tho...please remove the white socks and stand on your toes while snapping the pic. Just a little more flattering perspective, especially if you're going to post on the internet. Sorry...but I'm just vain that way! I've watched too many episodes of What Not To Wear!

Thanks again for testing the products out for us!

I tried on the polka dot too-short-to-be-a-dress yesterday and loved it. I didn't buy because I was on a mission for a real dress, but it was super cute!

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
