all that glitters

Ugly alert.

Target, you know I love you, but the course of true love never did run smooth. Especially you, Isaac. I love you with all my heart, m'dear, but these things do happen. You can't be perfect all the time, so I understand the hiccups.

There is no excuse for this coat to exist.

I'm sorry- not cute. On anyone. I saw it and almost burst out laughing. And let's face it- to laugh in the face of an item from Target, well...That's pretty low. These pieces of clothing don't always keep good company, and I'm sorry, but this jacket stands out for how horrid it is.

The fit, the fabric, the glam, the price- it's just all wrong. So very very wrong.

I had my "model" try on the jacket for me so I could post it up here and we could all have a good laugh. She looked like some sort of magician on New Year's Eve, clearly drunk even before hitting the closet.

But it gets worse.

The jacket appeared in Target ads. Then I saw it walk by me on the street. Then in Lucky magazine!

"Here's a Great Find:
This silver coat looks like it came from a chic little shop in Paris- it
have that class, wear-it-forever shape and and a glamorous tactile
shimmer."

Um....what? Come again? have they actually LOOKED at the jacket? Nooo, BAD Lucky! Yes, it may be classic in theory, but have they actually seen it on people? And believe me, it hasn't looked decent on a single person I've seen sporting it thus far. Oh Lucky, you're disappointing me! I expected so much more!

And the, to add insult to injury, it pops up in an ad on my Yahoo! homepage! I can't get away!!! I'm going to start having plastic silver nightmares!

Please, in the name of all this good and stylish, stay away from this jacket! Stay far far away!!!
